thank you so much for this. as always, it's wonderful to get to hear you think through knotty things! and for me, here in the u.s., it's so helpful to my understanding of the versions of this that're being floated or enacted here to have your clarity on the versions you're facing.

i also wanted to share, in case it's useful, a rather cranky thing i wrote a decade ago about the history of the * in "trans*", which people were arguing about in some of my online spaces. i have many more thoughts on the prehistory now, since i'm deep in a research project about trans women's [broadly understood] periodicals of the 70s-90s, but i don't think anything in here is inaccurate, just less generous than i'd retrospectively like. anyway, i brought it from tumblr to here a while ago, so this should be a stable link: https://meansof.org/2014/01/03/about-that-asterisk-some-trans-womens-history/
