Filling out a disability application and it asks for your fucking agab. Quick, why? hst-gun I had half a mind to do it up wrong but egh.

I look at this shit and I think of leslie-feinberg tbh. You were so right, about everything, please come back!!!! We still need you, sad as it is!!!

It asks later: What gender do you identify as? The options are

  • woman or girl

  • man or boy

  • transgender woman or girl

  • transgender man or boy

  • gender non-binary

  • do not know/won't say

Huh...

blocky-wat You already asked for agab, can you not work out if I'm trans?

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

Yes but if you looked at my name vs agab you might assume I'm a binary trans woman, lol. They could have just left the fucking agab question out.

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I meant like, why ask for both agab and woman or trans woman. If I'm amab, and a woman... smoking-fish

Just seems silly

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Ohhhh yeah that is pretty silly tbh. Maybe for out vs stealth? Goofyass government tho.

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Honestly I thought that's what you were pointing out.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

How would they know you are a woman if you didn't tell them? The first question only asks for AGAB. So how would someone that has never met you know if you were trans and therefore shouldn't be given assistance because fuck you. I assume this is why they are asking. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: I should go to bed, it's getting late, and I can feel it, my brain is getting mushy. Writing badly/weirdly.

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Why would you not ask for agab, then have the options for gender be like:

  • Woman
  • Man
  • NB
  • Other/prefer not to say

If someone says amab, and checks woman, you know they're a trans woman. Because their agab doesn't match their stated gender. I don't know, it just feels weird to me. Is that not what Ash's point was? ~~that I was just saying out loud because idk how to make interesting comments I guess~~

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Mushy brain can't handle this.

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

meow-hug I love my mushy brained comrades, I hope you sleep well.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Worst thing is, it's when I'm eepy/mushy that I write more.

[-] naom3@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

I hate the “woman, man, trans woman, trans man” thing so much agony like yes, I’m trans, and my gender is woman. I swear when I finally muster up the courage to stop boymoding I’m just gonna answer “woman” for this

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

I think that's what most people do, lile trans guys would just answer "man". I put "Gender Non Binary" because it's closest to fuck-around
