Does this mean trans Canadians actually can’t visit Florida?
How long until an employer gets sued for housing an event in Florida and it being ruled discriminatory?
This is how tourism and trade dies.
I haven’t been safe to go to Florida for a while, but now I am officially unsafe. My license has X for my gender marker, so I don’t think they would like that
I live in Florida and these opinions are very rare among any major city’s population. In fact, I just took a group of kids to an art event at the capital and they drew (in chalk) a trans themed square on the ground just outside of one of the legislative chambers.
Please understand that the south is full of the most brutally progressive people. Everything we do is intentional and FOUGHT for. That is why our politicians try so deeply to oppress us. It’s bothering them so much that it’s not working.
I for sure know there are progressive people. The cops are the ones I don’t trust, though
That’s why you film everything and pull over with your marginalized peers :)
Right, but if it is against the law for me to have an X on my license, the cops have a reason to use violence. Not playing around with that. I have a couple reasons to go to Florida, but none of them are worth that potential
My license has X
Then you’re likely halfway there! Florida is asking not for gender, but for your “innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics”… which can only be understood as your chromosomal sex. Just need to add one or two letters, for XX, XY, XXX, XXY, or XYY, and you’re done! 🤡
(unless you’re a chimera or a transplant patient, then you might need to list all the chromosomal sexes of each of your components… I guess)
Jim Crow called. He wants his laws back.
In what possible scenario could the sex of the driver matter on a drivers license anyway? Do the driving rules suddenly change based on gender?
These guys are clearly dealing with all the important problems

You have the answer about halfway the letter:
a driver license is an identification document
It’s a consequence of Americans not wanting a government issued ID, so they’d rather have the DMV issue them one. They will also use their Social Security Number, printed on a piece of paper that expressly states it’s NOT to be used for identification purposes… for identification purposes.
In saner countries, the government issues everyone an official ID card with strong anti-counterfeiting features, then every other document relies on one’s ID card for identification purposes.
Spot on. Just like a lot of other things (taxes being the notable one that I can remember) an unreasonable amount of US people hate it when government does anything useful with their tax money.
Want an ID? Fucking do it yourself, but oh btwz here’s this shitty paper that you can never share or lose or you’re fucked.
Want to know how much tax you should pay taxes? Figure it the fuck out yourself (but then we’ll still do it for you and ruin you if you fuck up)
Want to avoid going to jail? Be fucking telepathic and know how to do it yourself.
It’s a pretty insane thing to tolerate and yet here we are.

Indeed; they’ve been kicking the property insurance can down the road for what seems like forever.

I wish you could defederate from Florida
The travel safety guide they posted seems to have a much rosier picture of Arizona than I’d attribute to a state that locks trans women up with men.

Florida continuing to ensure that I’ll never be giving them either my business nor my professional skills. Not that I’d want to anyways, on account of the weather and bugs wanting me just as dead as the politicians.
disneyland is superior in every way anyway
Sadly I’d probably melt into a puddle in California’s weather.
More unenforceable poorly written laws that only exist to pander to weirdos online.
Unenforceable? I’m pretty sure cops will enforce it if they want to lol
