> Trans men are men, socially and legally. Legally in what sense? I don't think they're being sent to men's prisons. I hope not anyway...

    This applies very narrowly. A GRC allows "acquired gender" to replace sex when sex is ascertained by birth certificate, which is only done in limited circumstances. This is distinct, in law, from actually being that sex.

      Irrelevant, we are talking about gender, which is distinct from sex. It remains that “pregnant people” is a plainer and more accurate way of talking about people that are pregnant.

        Your previous comments upthread moved the discussion on to what a GRC means in legal terms.
        • dwb 11mo ago
          This is going nowhere because you insist on conflating gender and sex.

            No I'm just clarifying what it means legally for someone to have been issued with a GRC.
