At One Time They Supported Us.

But now they throw barriers in front of us and try to criminalize us.

Back in the sixties Republican states saw that for us to be productive members of society we need to change our IDs but now they are fighting us tooth and nail to keep us oppressed.

Alabama sued in transgender driver's license case

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday questioned Alabama's requirement for a transgender person to undergo full gender reassignment surgery before they can change the sex on their driver's license, suggesting that a license that contradicts a person's public appearance essentially marks them with a "scarlet letter T."

U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson held a hearing in the 2018 lawsuit filed by three transgender women seeking to change the gender of their state license.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the plaintiffs, said the requirement to show proof of sex-altering surgery is an unconstitutional violation of privacy and a person's ability to make their own medical decisions. The ACLU said Alabama differs from most states and the federal government that allow people to change the gender identity on a government-issued ID without proof of surgery.

Assistant Attorney General Brad Chynoweth told Thompson said the state has a law enforcement interest in proper identification and has a simple rule on changing gender designation.

Okay… does that mean that when you get stopped for speeding the police are going to ask you to pull down your pants?

That is a totally ridiculous argument. Driver licenses are used to establish your identity from the photo, no one checks to see what is between your legs. Can you imagine going for a job and they want you to drop your draws to see if you are really the person in the photo.

I think that Republicans use us to build support and donations from their white supremacist base, we are just pawns for them to exploit.
