I guess what I am saying is: Is “sex/gender” on a license/identification even relevant information for legal reasons?

As a transwoman who was born in New Jersey and currently lives in Illinois I feel incredibly lucky that I don’t live in Florida. However, I still upset for my trans siblings in Florida who have to deal with Il Douchebag.

Are cops looking for reasons to harass gender and sexual minorities? Hmm, I wonder.

Does gender even need to be a thing on the license?

Considering the vast phenotypical differences in people, their size, their faces, voices, dress, all of it. Why do we even have to have sex or gender on a drivers license anyway? 

Look at Disney’s last live-action reboot, The Little Mermaid, which rewrote Ursula’s iconic villain song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” to remove sexist lyrics (“The men up there don’t like a lot of blabber/They think a girl who gossips is a bore,” among others). Ursula’s problematic verse was a deliberate narrative…

It’s just that nobody said “comedy = violence,” and smart people can, at the very least, exhibit some modicum of reading comprehension. In fact, you are the only person who reduced the entire concept down to “jokes = harm,” which literally no one else said or agrees with.

“Dave Chapelle is funny, says funny things”

I’d love to hear more about how it’s reductive to draw a connection between anti-trans rhetoric in entertainment and anti-trans legislation gaining traction. I won’t hold my breath though.

I’m just mad that his comedy is unfunny trash.

it’s just comedy

“Stop acting like you’re under attack!” he said, logging on in defense of the rich entertainer.

I’d say declaring “I’m a terf and proud” in the midst of seismic anti-trans laws denying basic human rights getting passed is advocating for something incredibly terrible, but hey that’s just me.

Freedom of speech protects his right to be a bigot and a bully, and it protects our rights to call Dave Chappelle a piece of shit hack. Shit cuts both ways. 

He identifies himself as “team terf” - just google him along with “terf” and you’ll find articles about it. Whether he is or not is up for debate, but it’s definitely what he says he is.

Traditionally speaking you are probably right, that he isn’t even feminist in any way, so also isn’t really a TERF vs a regular reactionary transphobe. But he once declared himself “team TERF’ on stage, so the moniker is self chosen.

The Cybertruck has bigger issues, like slicing people’s carrots without pause.

Wow, I just (a few minutes ago) wrote a post recollecting the idiotic fans claiming that Musk somehow magiced up some trick to make the CT aerodynamic, and how fucking stupid they were.

What will your excuse be come summer?
