Whoo we're partying now eh: government-decided identity! That's right folx, the state are deciding whether some of us exist or not. And why? Is it that trans, genderqueer, and gender-nonconforming people's existence affects other people's lives in any way? That rights are pie, where some have them with none left for others? No, of course not. The divide-and-rule culture wars serve a purpose, yes, but it's more than that: the protection and promotion of the cisheteronormative nuclear family is key to the state's hierarchical - patriarchal - system, its privatisation of care into houses with white picket fences in suburban sprawl. It's bullshit, but almost every politician talks about valuing the traditional "family" as much as they value "our troops." It's all part of an order.
