Florida will throw trans people in jail if they try to update the gender on their driver's licenses

"They want to humiliate, harass, and use policy to eliminate transgender people from public life.”

Florida has threatened to punish any transgender person who tries to change the gender listed on their state-issued driver’s licenses. Such individuals would be charged with trying to make a false ID and face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

The threat appeared in a January 26 letter signed by Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FHSMV) deputy executive director Robert Kynoch and addressed to state county tax collector’s offices.

Kynoch’s letter said that the FHSMV would rescind its previous policy that allowed individuals to correct their licenses’ gender markers after transitioning. The previous policy didn’t require individuals to show any proof of having undergone gender-affirming surgeries.

“The term ‘gender’… does not refer to a person’s internal sense of his or her gender role of identification, but has historically and commonly been understood as a synonym for ‘sex,’ which is determined by innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics,” his letter stated. It said that allowing people to alter their licenses based on gender identity “undermines the purpose of an identification record and can frustrate the state’s ability to enforce its laws.”

3. I dont normally speak on issues such as this, but...

As a nation born of freedoms that our forefathers gave us in sacrifices fighting for freedom from Great Britain, the US Constitution has our Freedom and Bill of Rights. One such right is our First amendment of the Bill of Rights:

First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

If a US Citizen wish to express oneself by use of a form of speech to change ones identity through medical procedures to obtain a different sex, that is their right.

If we get technical, there is NO Laws of separation of sex bathroom. If there is such law, it violates the Equal Rights Act. If we get technical, all restrooms should be unisex.

Now, do i advocate of such? No. But

It could be pushed if anyone choose to fill of the Equal Rights Act.
