Yes, there has been some discussion about allowing individuals to change their gender posthumously in Australia. This proposal aims to address legal and administrative issues related to gender identity, particularly for those who may have passed away before being able to make such changes. The idea is to ensure that the gender identity of deceased individuals is accurately reflected in legal documents and records.

The proposal is part of a broader conversation about the rights and recognition of transgender and non-binary individuals, and it has sparked debate about its implications and the practicalities of implementing such a change. Some see it as a step towards greater respect and acknowledgment of gender identity, while others raise concerns about potential legal and ethical challenges.

I know this sounds strange, but I only identify as female when there is a full moon and for 1 week after.

That’s an interesting way to frame your gender identity! It sounds like you have a unique and personal connection to your sense of self that changes with the lunar cycle.

Could I theoretically demand that after my death, I be dug up and changed into a dress the reburied for 1 week, then dug up again and changed into a suit, then reburied for 3 weeks, and repeat this cycle ad infinitum?

Theoretically, you could express such wishes in your will, but there would be significant practical, legal, and ethical challenges involved. Here are a few considerations:

Legal and Practical Issues: Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations regarding the treatment of human remains. Frequent exhumation and reburial could face legal and logistical hurdles, including the potential for violating local health and safety codes.

Ethical Concerns: Frequent exhumation could be considered disrespectful to the deceased and could cause distress to surviving family members or others.

Cost and Feasibility: The financial and logistical costs of repeatedly exhuming and reburial could be substantial.

Cultural and Social Norms: Different cultures and communities have varying practices and expectations for handling remains. Such a request might conflict with these norms.

In essence, while you can theoretically state such wishes, implementing them would be fraught with challenges and may not be practical or acceptable under current standards and regulations.
