    Changing your name and changing the paperwork identifying your gender and then acting offended when officials need help tracking your identity is not a play to get sympathy from the people who are on the fence about gender issues.

    The person in question was filming at a bus station, which could be a confrontational activity when police are present; I’m not sure if you need to identify yourself in Canada in that situation.

    In any case it seems like a tempest in a teapot and a whole lot of complaining about someone who was trying to handle the situation as well as they were able. It’s not like the officer spent the next hour interrogating them using the wrong name.

      Human rights

      officials need help tracking your identity

      this contradicts what you said right before, is she has her documents in order, he has no business digging up her deadname

      is not a play to get sympathy from the people who are on the fence

      these people can fuck off to the sun at this point, siding with literal nazis

      It’s not like the officer spent the next hour interrogating them using the wrong name.

      Her. And it’s not like I called you nazi for a whole hour, just once.

        I’m glad you are passionate about this. It’s important to have people with views on all sides.

        But calling someone a nazi for simply acknowledging that there are people who don’t actively promote trans rights on the internet? That’s not helping your case.

          I think this holding some imaginary group’s approval overhead like a carrot on a stick is nazi crap too, for what it’s worth

        You and your attitude are a detriment to the fight. Shut the fuck up and stop making this harder.

        literal nazis

        You lost? Those aren’t even figurative Nazis like American cops; and absolutely not literal Nazis. Please stop calling Canadians Nazis just for effect.
