    We should extend the “safe at home” program to trans people now. Hateful people can’t be trusted with their personal info.

    I used to be a part of it and faced a lot of discrimination. My ex’es family has a stalker (I was living with them, so I had to join). My ID/ drivers license had a PO box instead of an address. Whenever I’d tell people I was in the program, they’d say it was bullshit, then THEY’D get yelled at, and then I’d get a little extra nice treatment. I wish trans people could get the same.

    Republicans feel like stalkers to me. You just want to live your own life and identify as your own person, and you have these weirdoes judging your privates? Let people be safe and fuck off pretending to do the same.

    Sorry… they say gender identity is not immutable… as in… it is mutable…… as in it can change… but you can be arrested if it does change? Fucking… what?

      Imagine Henry Ford saying, “You can have any color you want as long as you want black.” and then adding, “And if you paint the car red we will shoot you!”

        Ferrari don’t like when you paint their cars so you’re not far from reality

            Generally yes, they tell people not to repaint them and if they do there’s a sternly worded letter to change it back. If you do not they won’t sell you another Ferrari. You could find someone to sell you one, but anyone who third party sells a Ferrari is also blacklisted. (Since all sales technically involve you selling it back to Ferrari, then THEY sell it to the person)

            You also agree to these terms (painting, not debadging, etc) when you bought the car. There have been some examples where Ferrari even sued over “use of vehicle for malicious intent”

                There’s a host of rules to agree to, some of them are pretty silly, and are in place to keep the brand “pure”. “You don’t choose a Ferrari, Ferrari chooses you”

                You have to prove you can afford a Ferrari by buying 2 other cars, “Honda Accord or better”. (This guarantees you have other cars to drive if the car is damaged, and proves status via taking care of 3 cars)

                They do have an approved list of colors, just that red is iconic, and they want to do the paint themselves.

                You can’t sell it in the first year. And if you own a Lamborghini you will be turned down. You can’t debadge it/alter the prancing pony because they “sold it to you perfect!”

                Visit the factory/attend Ferrari events. Be part of the Family. And family is modest. Don’t be a shitty influencer constantly flashing your car.

            Ferrari disagrees. Expensive sports cars are kind of a different story than driver’s licenses, though.

      You’re correct to point this out.

      Identity =/= Gender =/= Sex

      Sex is the physical sexual characteristics of your body. Such as breasts, penis or vagina. This can be altered by surgery or way more commonly, hormones which greatly alter the makeup of sex organs. It is also why people born with a mix of sexual characteristics are called intersex.

      Gender is the social construct performance that we all do to interact with the world. Gender roles have changed a lot over time and culture, most easily seen by cooking being womens work and having a job being men’s. Gender can and does change a lotRedneck, goth, jock are all genders because it tells you something about how that person interacts with the world socially. There is no wrong way to be a human, you can have multiple genders and every gender is inherently valid.

      Identity is who you see yourself as in the mirror. It’s sort of immposible to describe who that is, so many express it via gender, but not exclusively. Many people are happy in their gender role, but see themselves differently. This is something that can change over time, but not willingly be changed.

      The state assumes everyones sex determines their gender and identity so documents use the three interchangeably and it drives me up the wall.

    Guys we just need to come together, why is there so much division? You just need to see the common ground and not act so combative while we systematically take your rights away.

    This combined with Texas keeping track of requests for gender change, are examples of the DMV used to target transgender people. Since it is a requirement to work with the DMV to legally drive, and directly impacts peoples mobility and ability to live and work, this is a direct threat on people’s lives.

    We are moving directly towards a society using government resources to systemically target transgender people.

    If this was instead a politician targeting everyone with a gun license, the death threats would come pouring in.

    But transgender people don’t have the privilege to threaten, because the rightwing are looking for any reason to destroy.

        I see both. Did you preemptively save that comment thinking that it would get deleted? I didn’t know mods are like that here.

          It shows removed when not signed in on .world.

          Modlog shows it too

          I saw it because I’m an instance admin and I can see the content of removed comments by default. (And can unremove them but that only affects my instance if the comment is on another)

          You’re not a mod are you?
