This is unrelated to the article you're sharing now, but I read that (I agree thoroughly that the GDPR needs to be a start, but that it's inconsistently followed/enforced) and then I saw and read your article about apathetic cis people who might be agender. That's a neat perspective that I hadn't considered before — I'm cis and very much not apathetic about my gender (and I sometimes experience dysphoria if I am not treated as my gender). However, I have a bunch of other friends who have described their attachment to their gender as being far more "meh", and I am looking forward to getting a chance to discuss your article with them.
It strikes me that most of my friends are some flavour of LGBTQIA+, but I don't know anyone who is agender. However, 10 years ago, many of my friends who now are non-binary didn't know a term for their experience of gender, so identified as the closest they could find (such as lesbian). I wonder how many people I know who might find that "agender" feels like a fitting identity, if it were more prevalent in discourse etc.
Thank you
