The irony is that by entering their birth sex into the gender field, a trans person would, in fact, be misrepresenting their gender.

I really hope someone uses that as an argument to challenge this in court.

The optimist in me wants to believe that this will end up accidentally becoming a very strong pro-trans law. But it's Florida, so if that happens, it'll probably just be repealed.

Naw, if that happens those assholes will amend the law to ensure it has the desired cruelty.

Remember: The Cruelty is the point. Republicans hate people who aren't "like them" and want to do them as much harm they can get away with.

It's worse, they want EVERYONE, even people like them, to be as harmed as possible. They just use the 'isms because it's effortless harm-maxing. Fascism is a death cult in which nobody, even the people on the top, will survive.

Their fundamental ideology is "I want to be #1 at any cost" even if it means killing everyone else and then themselves.

Here's your reminder that Republicans want BEARDED PEOPLE WITH TESTOSTERONE AND PENISES to be able to use your Daughter's BATHROOM!

"If upheld, Florida would become the first state to prohibit driver's license changes under criminal penalty for transgender individuals."

Just what trans people need more criminalization...

Sounds like Florida Man is scared of Florida Woman..

Does anyone know if Rainbow Railroad is offering help to trans people trying to leave Florida?

I’m not sure but on a related note an American trans woman was able to gain refugee status in Canada.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Rare Canada W, unless it turned out they were sponsored by a big corporation and that's why they were able to get through.

So every traffic stop is now going to end up in innocent people getting stripped naked?

[–] bloopernova 1 points 10 months ago

Don't give them ideas.

What sort of damages are at stake here? Who has standing to challenge someone else's gender because it affects them in any way, and what exact damages will they suffer?
