      I know you’re making a bad faith argument, but I will answer anyway.

      Trans people are accepted in south Africa, and offered many legal protections, including official recognition status of their preferred gender (there are certain prerequisites required to change your gender, but I don’t know what those are, I just know people who have done so). Should someone undergo gender re-assignment, and have the gender changed on their ID, it would or would not be an offense based on what gender they have transitioned to at the time the incident had occurred.

      South African law is pretty forward thinking in many aspects regarding discrimination, primarily because of how racial discrimination has massively featured in our history.

      • A bad faith argument? In what respect? The US is basically burning based on identity politics, so I’m curious about how beaches function after someone gets top surgery. In the US, many states don’t draw a legal distinction between male and female breasts whatsoever, mine included, which solves the bigotry either way.
