In the county that I'm in right now it costs about 2K bucks to get gender legally changed & this law hasn't been updated for decades. It certainly isn't as woke of a country that the majority of English-speaking countries are. I plan to move to the UK at some point, at which point I will most certainly be changing my gender legally. It's the only legal way to "boycott" gender identity laws, by giving them a taste of their own medicine. I asked on here if me doing so would be good or bad for feminism, the response was a unanimous: good for feminism.

Given the responses you have been given in this thread, I doubt the answer was an unanimous "good for feminism".

I seriously doubt this is going to change a thing, you will just be another who will take advantage of whatever benefit this might bring and swiftly change back when this is not beneficial or funny anymore.

Recognizing the danger of loopholes isn' t going to stop assholes from doing what they want, and the government isn' t going to change just because some people do what you are suggesting: they will just file this under "some transphobes are ruining the legitimate trans community" and nothing will change. This if they even acknowledge that it is happening.

Masses doing it will just result in these people claiming that "more acceptance" drove more people to do finally come out and live their authentic selves.

Just check my post history if you don't believe me. Literally the same users who expressed having no problem with me identifying as transgender, are now pulling out every excuse when I ask why they don't do it too. They've done a 180.

Hold the phone! I’m not going back on hypothesizing that a critical mass of GC men may be capable of cracking the identity movement. So there’s no “180” here. I am NOT a man. (Man meaning adult human male. ie sexed)
