    lessen the impact of its existence

    You mean like not assigning people to classes we know can be incorrect they then would have to change?

      what. is. your. alternative.

      I swear you must not be reading my comments. How do you refer to a child for the first five years of their life if giving them a name, even a temporary one, is transphobic?

        Not shoving people into boxes we know aren’t accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

        Why is that even a thing you want to do?

            I notice first off you’re conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

            Makes me doubt your faith, that.

            I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

                  You: “The fact that society does this is a problem!”

                  Me: “Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

                  You: “I refuse to answer this question”

                  Are you trolling?

                    “Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

                    Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

                    If I told you “kicking puppies is wrong” would you demand ‘an alternative’ to do instead?
                    Don’t kick puppies.
