Honestly, it sounds like the cop was trying to be respectful while looking up their (potential) files.
Changing your name and changing the paperwork identifying your gender and then acting offended when officials need help tracking your identity is not a play to get sympathy from the people who are on the fence about gender issues.
The person in question was filming at a bus station, which could be a confrontational activity when police are present; I’m not sure if you need to identify yourself in Canada in that situation.
In any case it seems like a tempest in a teapot and a whole lot of complaining about someone who was trying to handle the situation as well as they were able. It’s not like the officer spent the next hour interrogating them using the wrong name.
Human rights
this contradicts what you said right before, is she has her documents in order, he has no business digging up her deadname
these people can fuck off to the sun at this point, siding with literal nazis
Her. And it's not like I called you nazi for a whole hour, just once.
I’m glad you are passionate about this. It’s important to have people with views on all sides.
But calling someone a nazi for simply acknowledging that there are people who don’t actively promote trans rights on the internet? That’s not helping your case.
I think this holding some imaginary group's approval overhead like a carrot on a stick is nazi crap too, for what it's worth
You and your attitude are a detriment to the fight. Shut the fuck up and stop making this harder.
You lost? Those aren't even figurative Nazis like American cops; and absolutely not literal Nazis. Please stop calling Canadians Nazis just for effect.
Still could have used "legal name" but, yeah, doesn't sound like she was trying to humiliate her or anything.
Yup. Asking for previous names is pretty standard when doing government identity stuff.
If she has her documents in order he has no business disrespecting a protected characteristic so blatantly. Do you have any previous girl names by any chance? Just asking, because you don't come down as quite manly, lol
Sorry what?
That's weird, please don't say things like that to people.
Oh no she was filming.... Definitely worth spending police time investigating. If they can't articulate a suspected crime that can't detain you or order you to present documentation.
Stop the boot licking. This isn't a case of a rightful arrest where she was impeding the investigation by not revealing past legal names and aliases.
