I had a nephew that found out he could get a $500 bursary for trade school as a male, or $5000 as a female. A trip down to the DMV netted him (her) $4500.
Can't say I wasn't amused.
People gonna make this a trans thing and not a gender equality one... in most things women get the shitty treatment but with retirement and mental health its men
And office clothing in summer

So, obviously, people don't generally change their legal gender for an advantage somewhere. But if they do, that's a pretty good sign, not that it's too easy to change your gender, but that there's a gender bias in the law.
So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is. Conservatives must love this! End liberal overreach in one easy step!
I agree. The Daily Mail no doubt uses this as a way to say “legally changing your gender should be harder”, but that’s fixing the wrong problem. Gender fluidity isn’t the problem, gender inequality is.
Gender should be as unimportant as eye color in most things in life. If your system breaks from someone changing their gender, you need to fix your system.
Thing is, There are less women in STEM, there are less women in management position etc. Therefor, either women are less interested/worse at these things (which is the conservative view) or society itself treats women differently than men. The rational behind affirmative action and programs geared towards women isn't that women are less skilled and therefore need more help, rather that society makes it harder for a woman achieve the same as a similarly skilled man. By treating women differently we can help level the playing field.
Also, making gender "as unimportant as eye color in most things in life" is a completely unrealistic goal in the near future even in the most liberal countries in the world. We can (and do) strive to reach it, but that's not a viable solution for issues we have right now.
And you know what? Legally changing your gender SHOULD be harder than filling a form. Someone who's transgender should have no problem showing that's what they are. The thing is to make sure the legal process is done respectfully, without making the person feel like they're being interrogated.

Gender-based public sector affirmative action exists to counterbalance discrimination in the private sector. I would argue that becoming trans to undermine gender-AA is penny wise and pound foolish, unless you were already tending towards that inclination.
But what I'm seeing here is "I'm changing my gender but only for the purposes of gaming the system, then I expect you to recognize me as my original gender again". And that's on par with carrying a pair of crutches in your trunk so you can park in handicapped spaces.
You don't really want to take on the burden of being recognized as a woman. You just want to pocket a benefit in the public sector and then go back to your privileged position in the private sector.
Yeah I'll say I'm a goddamn elf if it means I get 5 extra years of not having to work
Republicans: They're degenerates coming for our children!
This guy: To hell with that, I'm coming for your retirement benefits.
Why tf does Argentina let women retire earlier???
Britain did until quite recently. Then a group of men went to court, I think hoping to get the men's age lowered to that of women. But of course the government raised the women's age to that of men.

"man"?

Because I've been conditioned to never question laws, and never learned to mentally deal with contradictions in society I'm mad at the pronouns now! Those darn pronouns!
I don't use pronouns and I don't think you or they should either.
