The "your driver license is invalid immediately" is super fucking infuriating, especially in a country where without a driving license means being unemployable

Fucking scum, a driving license has nothing to do with sex. It is meant to prove that the cardholder is able to drive a vehicle or not.

Luckily I live in a continent where the cardholder sex isn't mentioned at all in the driving license (eu directive of 2006)

I wonder how many billions the USA has been wasted on crap legislation just like this.

I would think it would be worse for the license holder AND whatever law agency to be listed as "M" when they look "F", and tie up a lot of resources over nothing but another power trip.

So now you must hire a "medical professional" to exam and of course they will be paid by the state.

Then they'll need to make a new law enforcement division with a clever acronym, like T.E.D.

Then scanners at bathrooms with attending physician on call

Minimum wage is seven dollars an hour. Union membership is now mostly government employees and down to 10%.

STOCK MARKET 50K THOUGH

How long until they do this with passports?

They've tried doing this at the national level, so it's in the works.

Scum state with an even worse government.

You misspelled country.

It boils my fucking blood that my tax dollars are paying for this

Everyone involved in this is guilty of treason

Is there any kind of charitable support fund to assist trans folk that want to get out of shit holes like Kansas? I guess it might be subject to abuse by the large number of cis folks that want to get out of Kansas too, but still.

Know of any resources for Pennsylvania? Not in KS but close.

Not even wanting money really, just how the fuck do I figure out how to move halfway across the country? OK isn’t revoking licenses, but in ‘28 when I renew it’ll probably say “F,” which ain’t conducive to my employment.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

What's there to figure out? You need a job and a place to live. You either find a job and then move, or move and then find a job. (Assuming you're not a retired, on disability, etc.) The organization I linked helps people get to the PNW, connecting them with people willing to offer spare rooms and such to folks as they get established.

The easiest thing to do is to move now, before your license gets revoked. But even if a false gender marker is imposed on you, you can always move states and then get it changed back immediately upon entering the new state.

At least they apologized. ///////ssssssssss

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

we apologize the inconvenience this causes you

Whenever you see this line, anywhere, you know that they're saying "fuck you and what are you going to do about it, eh?"

I mean, we're 5 steps away from eugenics, and we'we sowwy for the inconvenience!

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The goal is literally to inspire acts of violence by trans people. You can only persecute a community so much before the more unstable elements in that community start lashing out violently against anyone they can blame. That's the goal here. They're actively trying to create trans mass shooters. You demonize and persecute a minority. When some return your violence, you use that to justify further persecution.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

I'm not trans, but I'm considering it. As someone posted above, respect my trans homies, or I'll identify as a fucking problem.

I am patient and intelligent. And very. Very. Fucking. Angry.

I cannot be alone.

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 40 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Your right to self identify doesn't exist under fascist rule. Identify as you're told, or face the consequences.

Today it's gender. I wonder what facet of identity they'll seek to control tomorrow. Sexual orientation? Religion? Political affiliation?

Sorry, you're practicing Islam which is a clear violation of our Christian citizens' constitutionally protected freedom from other religions. Oh hey, tell your Jewish neighbors not to go too far.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Race.

Oh, you can’t change that? Well, the penalty’s pretty stiff, unfortunately…

In for a penny in for a pound. Might as well push another fascist in the ground.

Why would America allow an openly transphobic government into power like this?

Oh right...

"We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you."

Yes I'm sure you fucking do.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

They might as well have said "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"

Why stop at sex at birth. Add height at birth, weight at birth, baby photo etc.
