The reality is the appearance of most trans people is that of a trans person. And we should fight against people being discriminated against or facing violence because of their appearance or non-conformity with gender norms. But changing legal documents does not stop this.
The question of whether it is legitimate for male people to share all-female spaces is not raised in the box or outside it. The question of what it means for our understanding of "gender inequalities" if we are no longer allowed to recognise sex is not asked.
Its just a box! "We can work around it. We can still talk about "women" in the rest of the HDR and everyone knows what we mean....." We all know what women are. Its not a costume, or a collection of stereotypes or body parts. ......until we don't.
The issue is rights. The box calls for the Yogyakarta idea of protections for gender identity (how you feel), gender expression (acting/dressing according to sex stereotypes or not), and "sexual characteristics" (breasts, hips, ovaries etc), but not sex (being male or female).pic.twitter.com/sFoVnMQgLu
