Sigh. I too would have a problem stating my "identity" on a survey. If it was a parenting survey, I might say that I identify as a mother; on an employment survey, a midwife, but really, I don't "identify" as anything, like you I just AM a whatever. For me, these days, an identity rings of a falsehood being perpetrated because well, anyone can identify as whatever they choose. Well, that is unless us NZers of European heritage claim a Maori identity; somehow, I doubt that one will fly very far, even though there is no logical reason why some dude with a beard and a penis can claim to be a woman, while I can't claim a Maori identity. (Which is fair enough because Maori is not a costume any more than woman is.)

It appears to be even worse in Spain, where in the blink of an eye any natal male can suddenly become a woman without doing one single thing to even appear to look like one.

It is important to realize that there can be no fraud about your sex declaration under Spanish law, since the law is based on self-perception and contains no requirements. So that obviously male person sitting and watching the girls getting into their swimsuits in the public pool change rooms? Yup, nothing to stop that guy with his hard-on sitting there all day as long as he utters those magic words: “I am a woman”.

Cynically, many Spanish men have stated the reason for their “sex change” is to grant them access to special accommodations made for women in what is known as a culture that favors male success over female accomplishments. So as in sporting competitions, men are more than prepared to cheat their way to positions designed to benefit women. Also, the penalties for domestic violence are heavier for men than for women, so hey presto, violent “women” with penises face lesser punishments if convicted.

Coming soon to a city near you?

Templeton fails the 'fit for purpose' test. She denies sex. She exists in a cult fantasy world. She asks concerned citizens not to email her with facts and in the hearing of submissions on the Equity and Inclusion policy she made no provision for recording the orsl objections...luckily it was done by submitters. I know I was emsiled by her. I was at the oral submissions.
