As noted by my friends Fabrice Houdartin his excellent weekly newsletter:
"the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has announced in a letter from Deputy Executive Director Dave Kerner, a conservative “democrat,” that transgender people are no longer permitted to update the gender marker on their driver's licenses, with gender now being defined as "biological s*x." This policy asserts that any "misrepresentation" of gender on licenses could be considered fraudulent, carrying potential civil and criminal consequences, including revocation of licensure. This policy could also criminalize transgender individuals for using licenses that reflect their gender identity, significantly impacting their daily lives and freedom of movement within the state".
S*x is s*x, gender is gender. When will Florida just learn to let us be whomever we know ourselves to be?
