I am a bit taken aback by your view of men. After 48 years of marriage I would beg to differ.
The rest is very interesting.
I never use the g word after it was patronisingly explained to me by a feminist organisation and my early childhood lecturer, when I was training to be an early childhood teacher in the 70’s. I too have encountered confused, uncomfortable men in the past who wanted to live as women but didn’t insist on their rights to try to encroach into female spaces. This insistence on acceptance is counter productive and just created division. The sexes are different and created that way for a reason.
I have been married for 52 years and certainly don't have an anti-man bias. However the
reality is that it is males who are demanding access to female rights, and some of these men have disurbing fetishes which I encountered during my years in clinical practice. As with my experience in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s I know that many good men simply don't see the problem.
Yes it is males demanding access to female spaces. I agree with all you said. Congratulations on 52 years. Ours is actually 49. Sorry if I misunderstood you. God bless you, such an important issue.
I've recently discovered that I am non-binary (assigned male at birth).
As I am planning to present in a more feminine way, most of my current ID may not align with how I am perceived by others (not to mention not aligning with my own sense of identity). As such, I am considering changing the gender and title I select when filling out forms, and the like.
The short answer is ‘yes’ To all of it.
The longer answer is some places will be trickier than others, require more detail or information, but generally you won't have any issues with changing your gender marker or identifying outside the binary.
There could be some places that still only use ‘M’ or ‘F’ however they are becoming much rarer.
