What happens if I am turned away because my ID name doesn’t match my name on the electoral register?

Bigger picture, what does the Metro imagine Londoners make of stories like this? Do they imagine it will elicit sympathy? I'd have thought most people would have the same eye-rolling response that it's been met with here.

The comments section would suggest that you are correct, along with a little gentle teasing.

It's a sexual freedom award, comes with the vile strapline 'Honouring pioneers in sexuality, striptease artists, sexual service providers and their allies'

Sexual freedom - represented by a giant cock. No sexism here eh?!🙄

Because anything inherently female is seen as a bit crap.

No wonder Dee and co don't want to be women.

Can anyone confirm what chromosomes these special NB people have 'cos I'm a bit confused by it all, being old and all that. Can't be XX or XY, clearly.

I expect Dee has alphabet chromosomes that Dee chose . ZZ maybe, or QQ, or even QVC , who knows, they will be special though.

viques Choosing chromosomes. That's something you couldn't do when I were a lass.

We had girl ones or boy ones. If you ate your greens and drank your milk you grew up to have lady ones or man ones.

Dearie me, how times have changed.

Well supposedly most of us don't actually know what chromosomes we have because we haven't had them tested.
Or so I've seen claimed.

I don't have any. I decided I wanted to be terribly unique so I got rid of them.

I’ll have you know this person is an award winning sex educator who graduated with an MA in Gender, Sexuality and Culture from Birkbeck University last year. Eminently qualified to sit alongside Robin Moira White and Kate Osborne on the first trans advisory panel to Parliament. Let’s hope they manage to cast their vote without too much trauma.

I had to have a name change cake and spent 24 hours eating it by myself.

Of course you did.

Next.

I want to spend 24 hours eating cake. What documentation do I need?

Sooooo she had the choice of:

updating her ID
getting a free voter ID
using her old ID plus deed poll document
getting a postal vote
voting by proxy

And didn’t do any of those things.

Yet it’s the state that’s put in barriers to make it hard for her to vote?

Seems to me it’s a basic failure of adulting.

Crikey! Scared about being asked for ID to vote, eh? I think that Dee needs to invest in some therapy.

If the Lib Dems get their way and non-binary is recognised legally we can expect a lot more of these sort of articles in the future e.g."I am non-binary on my passport but now I'm afraid border guards might not understand my special identity!"

The weirdest thing of that whole article is that she has all the ID she needs already.

She did seem to apply for a voter id card but because she still looks like her ID she was told to use that plus her deed poll to explain the name change.

Absolutely no-one cares whether she believes she is non-binary. She's just a person who has changed her name.
