Imo, this is a good thing because:

1) It removes all of the self-ID bullshit. From now on, either doctors officially recognize you as such, or they don't, but the "Vichy gays" as I like to call them don't have a say anymore on whenever they're trans or not.

2) If a doctor still indulge into a patient's self-ID bullshit, that doctor can be legally held accountable for medical malpractice, which should discourage such attempts.

3) Good luck to pass as a handicapped person under the scrunteny of insurance companies and governemental help programs.

Yeah- this helps separate the people who are truly transgender and deserve respect from the uWu crowd who are the biggest oppressors to trans people.

It's a emoji for a face that's very commonly used by Tumblr people who act like this. Using uWu unironically doesn't necessarily guarantee they're a tucute, but the odds are slim they AREN'T.

It's something little anime girls and people who want to live their life as an anime girl say. Used with sarcasm/irony by most other people.

Also...

4) This now allows jobs to demand proof from a doctor or psychologist for accommodations just like any other disability. No longer are they protected by HR for just being.

They will now need proof / signature.

Holy shit you’re right. No more “self id is valid guyzzzzz!”, but will it extend to prisons? That’s where I’m seeing a lot of dudes “become” women, so I’m curious if that will be the same thing.
