“Same’s true of the Black Widow. Scarlett Johanssen looked great in that outfit, but she seemed to be there only as eye candy. The shot in the middle...”
The evident institutionalization of gay hatred, fear, and invalidation was MORE emotionally traumatizing for me than the bullying from my peers. It was WORSE because it came from ADULTS, it promised me a DARK FUTURE, it told me that there was NOWHERE TO GO FOR HELP, and IT VALIDATED THE ABUSE I RECEIVED FROM MY PEERS AND TOLD ME THAT SOCIETY TOOK THEIR SIDE.

Sec 5.2(1)(c) of the ID screening regs of Aeronautics Act: “An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents.”
Canada, you’re disappointing me. Additionally, I think it is of note that this has way more to do with passing privilege than pre/non-op (though for some people that does make passing as cis more frequent), though another example of this going poorly I can think of is someone on hormones who doesn’t have their identification changed. I don’t know why it can’t just be, if you in general look like your picture on your ID (or have some paperwork explaining why you don’t).
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Not even just trans people, but anyone who doesn’t present their sex convincingly, whether by design or by nature.
Heck, it might be politically incorrect to point out, but some insulated people have difficulty determining sexes across racial lines.
Then there are people who fall in an ambiguous place on the sex line anyway. They might be legally defined as one sex or the other, depending on various biological aspects, but those may or may not include their secondary characteristics.
In many people, advanced age makes sex more visually ambiguous.
Some people have hormonal disorders that prevent the absorption of hormones during puberty, leading to the stunted or completely halted development of adult characteristics that we use to judge “sex”.
Some people just say “screw it” to the traditional gender presentation of their culture, and when you take a lot of those arbitrary things away, the line between a masculine and feminine appearance grows very thin indeed for a slew of people.
Trans, genderqueer, just-not-that-obvious, intersexed, very old, very young—whatever the reason that you are not obviously the gender listed on your ID, you should be horrified at this law. It doesn’t just discriminate against an obvious few: it forces all of us to live in and strive to accommodate a binary world. That is not only Not Okay, it’s frankly depressing.
The fact that we list sex on people’s IDs is disturbing, Orwellian, and misguided to begin with. Honestly, it’s a bit sick. We should be taking a step forward to have this archaic practice removed, not backwards to laws like this.
So… it looks as though my tax return will be pretty snazzy this year.
…Snazzy enough that I could, conceivably, quit my job.
By the fall, I will either be living in a dorm, or on an airplane back to Norway, so there would be a definitive cut-off to my unemployed poverty.
My classes are very “light” this semester, which leaves me with plenty of free-time.
So.
My thought is this.
What if I quit my job and spend this spring and summer working on an amazing project?
Maybe piecing together an anthology about different gender and orientation experiences? Or about “friendship and sex”?
Maybe starting up a serious, possibly-profitable blog? This one is supposed to be all Sherlock crack, but serious sex politics sneak in a lot. Perhaps I could dedicate a space to those things, feature regular interviews, etc.
Or maybe I’m thinking too small?
What do you think? Do you have any ideas? Do you think this is a good idea in the first place? Very rarely do we ever have the actual time to seriously devote to making this world a slightly more positive, inclusive place, so how do you think I should spend this time?
It’s just a thought, and I haven’t committed 100% to this yet, but I’m very, very seriously considering it.
