RE: White House removes T from LGB for Travel.gov

( Lillith )
Im bringing the same energy that they do.

"Its ok for TIMs to be in womens sports because there are so few of them." and "That never happens."

So I say that there are so few of them that the government doesn't have to address it on the travel websites.

Also, since no one can tell without genital checks, then they should be fine.

Since they never cared when women's health sites started saying "menstruators" and "uterus havers," it's hard for me to care when website terminology changes might negatively affect them.

Additionally, many of them can just take off their costumes. I wouldn't expect the government to have a special travel section for cosplayers.

Right now, I have 0 concerns about this, but I'm open to learning new things which could change my mind.

Edit: And if they really are men and women, as they always say, then why do they need special considerations?

If they want to mention the T at all then it should be a separate section to show they are distinct group that has nothing to do with LGB.

Yeah I mean I don’t really care either way, but in the sake of being completely “fair” sure, include some info that most countries are not interested in playing make believe (and that there may be severe consequences for doing so).

It is supposed to be an information hub, and to be fair, that is good info for those who are trying to pass themselves off as the opposite sex.

But keep that separate from the warnings for gay people.

Gay people not doing PDA is vastly different from a man barging into a woman's toilet. The second was sexual assault some 5 years ago

I still feel it's important to save people from themselves when necessary.

I see where you are from.

I don't think it's really necessary, tbh. TIPs who insist on their identity being "respected" are usually very sensitive to power dynamics. They make unreasonable demands in western liberal countries because they know they can get away with it. They are not that stupid to try it in Saudi Arabia.

Minors might be naive enough to truly believe others see them as their "gender". Hopefully their parents know better.
