Equally important is the means by which the bill establishes transgender people as “separate”. The bill mandates that transgender people be given unique identifiers on their birth certificates, outing them as transgender. Anyone born in Iowa who wishes to change their birth certificate after obtaining gender-affirming care would be forced to have both gender markers on their birth certificates, making their transgender identity obvious any time they use their birth certificate. This raises the question: why is it so important for the state to readily identify transgender people?
A badly written article – it dives into the weeds and details far too early, without actually explaining what is being whined about – on an issue of little importance – birth certificates will record natal observation – and so on. But it’s about trans, by trans.
Yep, that’s the US edition of The Guardian. The UK one is far more robust on this matter these days. Freddie complained, around the time he gave birth, that the appearance of an article in The Guardian by someone not wholly supporting trans demands made him fear for his very life. Freddie has “moved on” from The Guardian.
Strange as it may seem the London end of the paper is odd, wrong, deluded etc, but not actively mad. They might want to get more of a grip on the editorial line of the US end.
It used to be that a bunch of lads would sit in the pub on Friday night slowly getting pissed and having a laugh to see who could be most ridiculous: Just imagine if the law said a man could be a woman hahaha, I know, women can have a dick hahahahah and so on, and it would be forgotten by morning. Its probably how the four Yorkshiremen sketch came about, except they didn’t forget.
Now they do it on the Internet and it doesn’t get forgotten, instead it spreads around as more lads have a laugh and eventually someone with mental health problems picks it up and takes it seriously. This spurs the lads on to see how far they can push the laughs and soon we have politicians like Starmer taking it seriously.
Nah. Far better that the US Grauniad infects the UK office with it’s madness and obsession with nonsense like trannyism and DEI that normal folks find beyond the pale.
Oh, it’s Tony Reed.
’…measures that were compared to “pink triangles” once used to identify LGBTQ+ people by Nazis in the 1940s.’
Except those had to be worn publically, not on a bit of paper in a drawer somewhere.
Not so much. Jewish “Yellow Stars” aside, the only place that the other categories of Nazi “offenders” were required to wear them (and there were lots of variations), were within the boundaries of the concentration camp barbed wire.
Hardly, a public place.
Classification system in Nazi concentration camps
Erin Reed is a transgender journalist based in Washington DC. She tracks LGBTQ+ legislation around the United States for her subscription newsletter, Erin in the Morning
Tony Reed used to be a husband and father, but he changed his name to Erin and became a transgender activist on Twitter.
Now his wife and child are estranged, but Erin has the consolation of spending most of his days on the internet arguing with feminists about what a woman is, and complaining about the inevitable Tranny Holocaust that will happen when Trump is reelected.
Nobel Prize when?
The U.S. went mad on trans because the courts re-interpreted existing sex-discrimination laws to include transgender people. That includes healthcare (remember the fuss a few years ago about health insurers being required to offer birth control?) so insurers are required to cover trans care – and greedy doctors are happy to take their money.
In the UK, transgender people are included in the Equalities Act 2010 (yet another reason for it to be repealed); but it hasn’t had nearly the same impact.
I think they are forgetting what a “birth” certificate is. It’s a copy of the entry in the Register of Births which records the name of the child, date of birth, information about the parents and the sex the child appears to be at that time. If you allow the historical sex to be changed, what next; should it be possible to change “mother” to “father”?
Andyf,
There’s already a movement to get the sex on the birth certificates of dead people changed, so yeah, those guys in the pub will be suggesting changes mother to father or vice verse.
Andyf: “I am triggered and made to feel unsafe by turning 50. Changing my date of birth is a human right.”
“And if my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle!”
Uh, for 99% of transgenders . . . you don’t need a birth certificate to ‘out them’. Its blatantly obvious.
Just because a dude’s in a dress doesn’t mean ‘she’ doesn’t look like a dude in a dress and because a chick has a patchy beard and no tits doesn’t mean ‘he’ doesn’t look like a chick with a beard.
The real insanity of these people is their insistence that they ‘pass’. You don’t.

There’s been a couple of them coming into a bar I use of late. One of them could vaguely pass. It’s got the proper bolt-ons & legs are OK. Looks like it may have had work around the mouth but still rather masculine fiz. It’s the madam’s apple hands & feet give it away. And it really doesn’t know how to do the walk. Even in heels. Too much of a stride on it.
The other one’s a hoot. In stocking feet it must be way past six foot six. Standing next to me at the bar in low heels the other night, it’s waist was just below my shoulder & I’m five nine. Flat as a board in front & the m’apple, hands & feet. FK’s where it bought shoes that size. I can remember the difficulty of trying to find 42 stilettos for a negra girl a few years back & I’d make these ^45. That said, it was smooching some drunk Brit geezer who seemed to be fooled. But Brit! Not the brightest are they?
I recall being driven around Madrid in the late 80s by some locals. They delighted in pointing out the many and various prossies at work, but they could (or, at least, claimed to!) spot the trannies, while driving past at 30mph.
