People gonna make this a trans thing and not a gender equality one... in most things women get the shitty treatment but with retirement and mental health its men
Because I've been conditioned to never question laws, and never learned to mentally deal with contradictions in society I'm mad at the pronouns now! Those darn pronouns!
So, obviously, people don't generally change their legal gender for an advantage somewhere. But if they do, that's a pretty good sign, not that it's too easy to change your gender, but that there's a gender bias in the law.
So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is. Conservatives must love this! End liberal overreach in one easy step!
I had a nephew that found out he could get a $500 bursary for trade school as a male, or $5000 as a female. A trip down to the DMV netted him (her) $4500.
Dumb idea: it feels bad being second class in things like retirement, empathy, and mental health, etc., right guys?
Well, that's how our sisters on the other side feel about literally everything else. If we want to fight so hard for the few things us men lack, let's use that same energy to fight for women too.
