Government data can be wrong. You should be able to fix it.

@openstreetmap Ummmm... there are limits. The meaning of 'fix' can be different for different people.

@openstreetmap Happy "lgbtq:trans=primary" day!

@openstreetmap
1) This has nothing to do with mapping.
2) Why does the government need to record "gender" (or sex) at all?

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@openstreetmap a map is one of the few places where i'd rather not have trans people be visible

(just joking, love y'all)

@ratsnakegames @openstreetmap how else will they find the country with this flag ️‍⚧️ that all the pretty people come from?

[amapanda@en.osm.town]

@ratsnakegames it's actually really complicated, and a good question.
When is visibility good, and when is it bad?
There's no one size fits all situated. I'm pretty visible, mostly by choice. But no-one else has to be if they don't want to.

@khleedril I wrote this post.
It's a simplification and exadurstion for comic effect, and to get a phrase that works for both meanings.

@khleedril personally, I got the Irish government to correct the data they had about me. I have a new birth certificate.
