My Birth Sex Views 01

 My feelings about birth sex and its relationship to biological sex.

Birth Sex

I would think the basic definition of SEX is very straight forward when applied to what has been described as the straight jacketed  term birth sex.

I fail to see how birth sex and its corresponding birth certificate can be relevant. I have always been led to understand that within law being able to prove a point is a corner stone. I was born in 1946; I would imagine that any Mid-wife or doctor in volved in my birth will be by now deceased. So, there is no way to say whether or not they had recorded my birth accurately. On the other had If the same method of visual inspection is applied today there will be no doubt that I am female.

Certainly when I was born in 1946 the entry recorded on a birth certificate was defined by the visual judgement made by the doctor or mid wife at the time of birth. If the child had a penis then he was a boy, and visa versa if the child had a vulva  she was a girl. I can accept an umbrella definition of boy being male and girl being female, but it is stretching it to include Men and Women under that same umbrella. I can hear comment right away to this as DNA and Cromer zones get brought into the argument, but as I pointed out I was referring to when I was born in 1946 when this kind of medical science was not employed, all of this advancement has been developed in my lifetime also along with sex reaffirming surgery. If we are going to enshrine a definition of sex in law we must consider that this point about sex is will be non-binary, and recognise that medical science can change the sex of a human being. So again if we take that same boy or girl and make the conduct the same medical inspection, after sex reaffirming surgery, we will arrive at the boy being a woman and the girl being a man. To my recollection my original birth certificate gave no mention of biological sex, as I now identify as a biological female A.M.A.B., that’s to say that was assigned male at birth due to my female genital sex characteristics I certainly can never be a biological male.

What is left of my male characteristics are would be my skeleton, brain I would suppose and just one sexual element my prostate. Otherwise every thing else has been medically remodelled to give me my female sex characteristics. My penis shaft, having been turned inside out to become my vagina, the tip of my penis, the glans after my surgeon had carefully kept it attached by its nerve bundle is now a very sensitive clitoris, my Urinary meatus remains the same but my surgeon has built it into my vulva the same as any other woman, the skin that was once my strontium is now my labia majora and minora. All that I have lost are the testes themselves and my corpora cavernosa, and corpora spongiosum.

I had my final discharge (Dr Mitchell) Dr Longsworth 21^st November 2018 after my NHS funded feminising genital reconstructive surgery with vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty on 4^th July 2018 by Mr Thomas at Brighton Nuffield Hospital. On my discharge letter sent to my doctor, It states that my future healthcare needs should be managed in a similar manner to those of other women. I am described that my external genitalia and vagina appear similar to those of women who have undergone a total hysterectomy, and that I am subject to the same vulvo-vaginal conditions that affect other women. That only leaves my brain which the judgment seemed to have no interest in at all, but I would have thought to be important, so just in case I will give a brief account of just what is involved when a trans person is assessed under the care of an NHS gender clinic to obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate, The Supreme Court Judges appeared to use de-valuing rhetoric, that it is just a piece of meaning less paper, and not, in my case the culmination of three years of assessment. Doctors, clinicians and staff at the Laurels in Exeter, were there to help, and guide with our psychological and social development with respect to our gender transition, and to protect not only ourselves against making the wrong decision about non reversible surgery, but also to safe guard the general and most of all the female public, in or out of their same sex places. They are also making sure that our brains are very much on the same wave length as most women, and that our G.P.s that referred us to then had got their gender dysphoria diagnosis correct, so my brain should be also on a biological females wave length. 

There is no doubt that Transsexual was use in the act to reflect that the meaning of “SEX”  unquestionably applies to a transsexual person. Not only that, but If we apply the findings of the  Supreme Court Judgement itself, in conjunction with the Magnus Hirschfeld principle, who coined the word transvestite (from Latin trans-, "across, over" and vestitus, "dressed") we arrive at the meaning of Transsexual as “changed biological sex”.

Transsexual should be given new credence in its own right, referring to a person who has the conviction and commitment to have undergone and completed medical gender reassignment changing their physiological attributes of sex. Presently under the umbrella protected characteristic of gender reassignment, it needs protection in its own right.
