Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth.

@Willow I'm gonna go with my "sex" at conception.

@x0 @Zumbador @Willow I would imagine that's done more on perceived gender than SAAB from your chart.

@x0 @Zumbador @Willow and in these very specific cases, they should ask about anatomy/organs instead, bc for example not all cis women have uterus/ovaries.

[x0@dragonscave.space]

@alecska @Zumbador @Willow Yep. Or in the case of things involving hormones that need to be supplement or controlled in some manner, HRT whether it's trans or not, I guess their own panels tell them what they need to know.

@Willow let's normalize loudly asking "and what fucking business is that of YOURS?" more often.

[lizette603_23@mastodon.social]

@Willow I have to tell you, I became militant about this last year. I'm old. I see a LOT of medical people, all kinds. Every single time I'm asked that, and I'm asked that in person each time because I refuse to fill it out and when I can't finish the electronic registration because I haven't completed that question they HAVE TO ASK ME IN PERSON. They won't do it. And they think about why. and that's what I can do.

@Willow

I will throw sand in the gears of marginalization, by feigning ignorance and incompetence, and eventually I will be indignant that they feel the need to check what's in my pants. As a straight white Christian with English as his first language, I am entitled to the Right of Karen: "Who is your supervisor?"

[weezmgk@mastodon.social]

@Willow If I am ever asked about sex I always say yes because it is like pizza, even if it's bad it's still pretty good

[lonm@social.vivaldi.net]

@Willow Exactly, and go further. Not just sex or gender. Anything. Everything. want to know my age? Location? Nationality? No. Why do you need to know? I'm not telling you that.

@Willow *cracks knuckles* all of my training has prepared me for this moment (im not technically cis but the average bigot cant tell that just from looking at me)
