#Gender-Mismatch
There is a fundamental mismatch in the gender I'm "supposed" to be on legal documents and the gender people perceive me as but surely that's not going to be an issue because I'm hot
Something that always stands out to me about ideas like "passing privilege" is that they reflect the tendency to think of oppression strictly in terms of one-on-one interactions. But really oppression is a lot bigger and more systematic than that, and that includes transphobia and transmisogyny.

The thing about trans healthcare is that it works..

Trans people ARE actually the gender they say they are. This is why social and medical transition is a thing.

If you'd transition but you're not actually trans, you'd induce the mismatch we feel constantly and understand our struggles.

17/ He says the 2019 Gender Identity Policy included as more complex gender identities like genderfluid, gender queer or non-binary, and also boarder trans umbrella. He says there is a mismatch between the new signs and the 2019 Policy, therefore the signs must reflect a new policy.

7. The comparison is clinically wrong—body dysmorphic disorder involves a distorted perception of one's own appearance, where a person fixates on flaws that are minor or nonexistent. Gender dysphoria is the opposite: a person perceives their body accurately, and the mismatch leads to dysphoria.

I have a vague feeling that I was aware of the dating app before. But the gender mismatch was new to me.

It's why the clinical language around transsexuality emphasized gender dysphoria for so long - why transition was gatekept from so many of us unless we could document the distress that we felt from a strong mismatch between our internal gender and our assigned gender.

It's a recurring issue with the Church that a lack of lay inclusion in leadership leads to insane mismatch between congregations and their pastors/bishop.

Though, there were a few odd sexists who thought it would be crazy to stop being oddly and unnecessarily gender exclusive.

Sage went through conversion therapy, sadly. I’m supportive of detransitioners in general—I sympathize with not feeling joy in your gender presentation and/or a mismatch in identity. But I hate it when they’re used in bad faith for political points, voluntarily or otherwise.

This simulation is totally bugged
My birth for example, there's been a mismatch with my gender 😒
I'd appreciate a restart with a patch

if you haven't legally changed your gender on your birth certificate or with social security, you can usually still get one with the wrong gender marker.
but if you have updated either/both of those, or had a different gender passport in the past, they'll look for a mismatch and flag you.

Surprise: my partner proposed to me last month!

Good news? Of course!

But with it I am also running into discriminatory issues regarding my passport.

The USA doesn’t allow passport gender markers to mismatch with your original birth certificate (even if you got it updated).

Gender = Social Construct. Sex = Biological Construct. Trans people feel a mismatch between their Gender and the Sex assigned at birth.

This is notably an incorrect description of gender incongrence, which specifically does *not* require the presence of discomfort or distress - that's part of the depathologisation of removing it from the category of "mental illness"...

😲 HORRIFYING – A trans person who has a mismatch between their identifying documents and their "gender at birth" can be rejected for visas/green cards for FRAUD under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i) – which comes with a LIFETIME BAN against re-entry to 🇺🇸 ⤵️

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally.

Fun idea, thought up with a friend yesterday:

Hypnotized into thinking you're a demon possessing a mortal, bonus points if there's a gender mismatch of course

Coming out of trance, thanking your "summoner" for bringing you to the mortal realm & looking at your reflection like "hm, not what I had-

… and the fact that women, being both better educated and much scarcer than women were before the one child policy, are mich less interested in conforming to Confucian gender norms, and you get a serious mismatch between men’s and women’s expectations.

I saw a reference yesterday to trans people becoming "non-compliant" wrt to mismatch between IDs and paperwork, and my tattoo fucking ITCHED.

Just reminding people this Pride that you can have a mismatch in your gender and gender expression and that is not a bad thing or something you have to fix, eh

I do think (as a non-cis person) that cis people can feel a form of gender dysphoria. My cis husband rarely plays male characters in video games because the masculinity they are designed to represent makes him feel deeply uncomfortable. A mismatch between who he is and who they say he should be.

A mismatch of identifying information on the 4473, including gender between that and your government ID, will deny you a sale. It's going to be really interesting to see how this sticks and if it's remotely even able to be enforced at all.

2-FINAL/ Straight Millennials can sort on this question pretty easily - only a 2% mismatch. For Gen Z, the mismatch is 18%. For Gen X, it's 6%, and for Boomers, it's 12%. Quite interesting to me that for Millennials, gender relations basically moved in the same direction but they haven't for others.

Bland generically attractive profile pic (often with that unnatural AI expression/facial muscle mismatch), series of image posts (all stolen) or reposts (incoherently curated) to populate the account, mass-follows a large number of people and usually primarily people of one gender

I'm actually starting to think that experiencing gender mismatch really does diminish my ability to be productive. Existing while Wrong is distracting

I have to put on my thinking tits

They say nope, women have the right to a women's toilet, and they define "women" in theory as "cis women" and in practice as "gender conforming women" and will react to any mismatch between their intent and their result by pulling the noose of "woman" tighter. 5/X
