Barnet Ben Wrote: You look for evidence of intent to use their gender to cause harm and assess the credibility of their identity. If someone has a track record of claiming you can't change your gender and has never expressed their identity to anybody before for example, most ordinary people are going to come to the conclusion that the person does not genuinely believe themselves to be transgender.
So that’s your test - just whether they have previously said you can’t swap sex? Not very comprehensive is it? They will of course just claim that they were in denial, trying to conform to society, or any number of other defences.
You are tied up in knots because you just can’t accept your position is utterly illogical. It’s not possible to say you feel like you are the other sex without using sexist stereotypes.
