happy Pride month let’s remember that abolishing gender markers is an infinitely better option than having non-binary markers
I don’t know about y’all but I don’t need the government having me on a list of Known Trans People
I genuinely think the only reason they’re on ID’s currently is so that if you’re in a medical accident, people can see your ID and know how to treat you. which does actually suck for all trans/nb people, but medicine works that way (unfortunately).
I’m actually trained in EMS and basic life support, and that’s incorrect. Generally medical emergencies are unrelated to your sex characteristics or endocrine system, and if they are, the patient will generally disclose to us first.
There are no emergency medical treatments that differ based on assigned sex. If we are treating you for sex characteristic based emergencies, we directly treat your organs, we generally don’t need to know what your ID says. Especially because your ID can say male or female and we still wouldn’t know what your reproductive system looks like.
Additional:
Most medication right now that has a standard ‘men’s dose’ and ‘women’s dose’ makes dangerous assumptions based on weight and would be far more effective if body weight and length were considered.
Our ID’s don’t have our blood types on them. Or any other truly life saving information. Clearly that is not what they are for.
