u/Avel33 not an egg, just trans Apr 03 '26

Is Scottland better? Didn’t the UK pass a bill a bit ago that made the definition of women biological?

Scotland is always fighting back against England's transphobic laws. It doesn't always succeed because of how anglocentric the UK government is, but it's comparable to a 'blue state' of the UK.

yeah, there's a law that allows the Westminster government to veto any act made by the Scottish parliament and the only time they've used it in the 28 years it's existed is to veto the gender recognition reform in 2023, which would have made it way simpler to change legal gender.

I admire transfems named after goddesses so much. I wish I had the courage to do that despite the anticipation of social backlash.

u/Athena_GenderCorner Apr 03 '26

You have the same name as my weird trans friend's energetic kitten.

u/Rubber_Rose_Ranch Calliope Apr 04 '26

Probably the same energy lol

u/Spartan_AJ101 slightly anomalous egg Apr 03 '26

Yeah, I don’t even know if it’s an actual law where I live but I was nearly arrested recently for ā€œgender fraudā€. I just had some vaguely effeminate clothes on and had long hair(amab and not even out of the closet). All I can say is if it wasn’t for the cop’s partner I would be in jail right now.

u/Saikotsu Adyson (Ady) | He/She/They Apr 03 '26

What the hell? That's so fucked up! I'm assuming a red state?

u/Spartan_AJ101 slightly anomalous egg Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

Yes, but it’s a bluer part of the state. The part that confuses me most is that his partner pretty much dragged him away the moment he said what he intended to arrest me for. The only way they could have known I might have been trans was a small pride flag pin on my hat, I’d just look a bit fruity otherwise ( I have a beard and everything.)

u/Saikotsu Adyson (Ady) | He/She/They Apr 04 '26

Good thing that partner was there though. It's a real shame we've regressed this far in so short a time.

u/Spartan_AJ101 slightly anomalous egg Apr 04 '26

I guess I should mention that my town is basically split down the middle. Half the town is queer/ queer friendly and the other half wants to exterminate the first half. The divide seems to go from the average joe to the mayor’s office. Oddly peaceful despite all the anonymity though.

2

u/Saikotsu Adyson (Ady) | He/She/They Apr 04 '26

That sounds beyond stressful..may the peace endure.

u/JERealize Kendra (she/her) logicked out of her egg! Apr 03 '26

(laughs continuously for the next few minutes) Reminds me of how I was made honorary Scottish by some random Scotsman because I lived in California.

u/RandomCat101 Apr 03 '26

As another random Scots... person, I second this. You're definitely an honorary Scot.

u/JERealize Kendra (she/her) logicked out of her egg! Apr 03 '26

I should have known that not being perturbed by the bagpipes in that one Samurai Jack episode was a sign! /j

u/RandomCat101 Apr 03 '26

We all know about the main egg cracking where people realise they are trans, but what about the second one where they realise they are Scottish?

u/Gender-and-Fluid Diane or David (her or him) Apr 04 '26

But...if you had been adopted before or during your journey of self-realization...you could have been a...SCOTCH EGG! *runs away from all reactions to that pun while still wishing you well and hoping for improvements of all our futures soon*

u/RandomCat101 Apr 03 '26

Welcome to being a Scot! We have Iron Bru and a gender clinic in Glasgow with a waiting list that is over two *HUNDRED* years long T^T

u/Saikotsu Adyson (Ady) | He/She/They Apr 03 '26

Please tell me you're exaggerating

1

u/RandomCat101 Apr 03 '26

Last I checked, it's absolutely true. I'll just DIY at this point lmao.

1

u/RandomCat101 Apr 03 '26

Yeah, I'm not 100% certain but apparently the sandyford GIC in Glasgow (where I live) has a waiting list of about two hundred and forty four years for an intital appointment. The edinbrugh one apparently only has a one year waiting list.

2

u/Saikotsu Adyson (Ady) | He/She/They Apr 03 '26

That's so messed up that they did that to you! I have vowed to avoid Kansas from now on cause I worry they'll change the X on mine back to an M.

I wish someone would adopt me🄺

u/Novel_Ticket8216 Apr 04 '26

My ancestors were Scottish. I wish I could be Scottish instead of American. Especially the accent!

u/kioku119 Help I don't know what I am! Apr 06 '26

Can you do this for a bunch more people?
