I love it. What's it for?

It looks like an oil painting, which is bitterly ironic.

The point isn't my feelings, it's not your fucking feelings either. It's that you keep treating trans people's right to exist as an intellectual exercise requiring balance. It's isn't. Honestly, what on earth is wrong with you?

It's worth noting you thanked the person who educated you patiently and spent four replies defending yourself to the person who named what you were doing. That's a very white moderate response to being told you're doing white moderate things. Trans people should not need to justify themselves this way. Jesus Christ.

You've missed the point, again.

The "white moderate" position you're demonstrating is what MLK warned about: someone who agrees injustice is wrong, but insists on finding neutral framings for it. You're more devoted to appearing objective than to justice.

Trans people do not owe anyone a medicalised justification for their existence on a government document, period. The DMV are not medical staff.

Searching for a "reasonable" angle on a law built on hate doesn't make you objective, it makes you an obstacle; and to paraphrase what MLK said: Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than outright hostility.

The "white moderate"* position is not always worth considering. Trans people should not have to justify their existence, this has nothing to do with medicine.

* This is an MLK reference. If you do not know it, read more.

Don't try to justify bigots.
