Damn, that article was a riiiiide...

The writer is also a transgender woman (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/d/diana-thomas0)

Last few paragraphs:

More to the point, we cannot obtain a single hormone patch, or undertake any gender-related surgery without written clearance from specialist psychiatric and medical professionals.
So we really aren’t making this up.

And many of us are as concerned as you are about the police allowing rapists to define themselves as women;
or people who have just given birth to a baby claiming to be the father;
or sportspeople who have grown up as men, with all the inbuilt advantages of male size and strength, taking medals away from female competitors.

But still we want to be able to assert our own identities.
I’m actually reaching the point where I wonder whether those of us who are transitioning properly should carry cards, stating so, just to protect us and reassure others.
After all, if drivers, pensioners, students and disabled citizens have cards that establish their bona fides, why couldn't trans people voluntarily do the same?

In the meantime, can I just make this request: if we moderate transpeople are reasonable in asserting our rights, can society be equally reasonable in granting them?

And also, please can we Leave?

Notably some EU countries are instead removing gender markers from various ID cards.
