This year it became possible to change your legal gender in Norway by request. No need to provide a reason. Just inform the population register and it`ll get done. I agree with that. It was not decent to demand people get castrated before they could change their legal gender.

But now we have to rethink out where and when gender should have legal consequences. In particular this applies to the various types of mild positive discimination to help women get into academia, the military and various male dominated professions. Do we tweak these policies so that you can only benefit from them if you were assigned "female" at birth? Do we require that you have to outwardly appear as a woman for a certain amount of time ( say 5 years for example). Or do we say gently caress it and hope for the best? Remove them completely because gender is a false construct that we are now offically over and done with?

I am sure there are other areas where your legal gender matters that will require a rethink now that anyone can have it changed.

LO and UNIO spoke vehemently against making a gender-neutral equality law on march 8th, demanding that positive discrimination won't be applicable for anyone joining the wrong side.

So I guess my hopes for a leftist party single majority government followed by Bolshevik revolution and the top 20% against the wall is delayed for another 4 years?

The great thing about marxism is that everyone can be poor at the same time
