@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space @Tutanota@mastodon.social yeah, when my Krankenkasse asked for a new picture as part of giving me a new card with my newly changed name, the online self service rejected my picture. I had to spend €19 for professional photographs and €1 on physically mailing them to the Krankenkasse to get the card. €20 wasted because a cisnormative system thinks it's somehow a good idea to validate people's faces.

@LunaDragofelis@void.lgbt For me I already had professional photos, and ended up getting my speech therapist to take them to task! So yeah, these systems are viciously cisnormative and violate the privacy of those of us who for whatever reason are not. And then there is the issue of how these systems treat disabled people and black and brown people ... @Tutanota@mastodon.social
