    DeSantis got off the campaign trail and picked up his culture warrior jihad.

    Floridians can no longer elect to update or change their gender on Florida driver’s licenses, according to a memo sent to state officials by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and obtained by CNN.

    In the Friday memo, Robert Kynoch, deputy executive director of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said previous policies that allowed residents to elect to change their gender “are not supported by statutory authority.”

    Critics and LGBTQ civil rights say the new license policy is just the latest example of targeted attacks against transgender residents in the state, which has seen new restrictions in recent years on access to gender-affirming treatments and bathrooms.

    When did Florida drivers licenses start including gender? It was sex when I lived in Florida.

    Because kids are sneaking into people's purses and wallets to read their DLs and then they are left confused and groomed?

    I mean, what the actual F does this help?

    Does your Florida Drivers License disclose your gender?

    I just looked at 4 different FDLs and none list “gender”. Two of the licenses were issued 7 months ago, so they are pretty recent.

    How can you change something that isn’t even on the driver’s license? Are we back to saying biological sex and gender are the same thing?

    Sorry, the term “Gender” does not appear on any of the FDLs.

    I hate about half the states in this union. I like to think that fascists are a minority, so how have they taken over state governments or sent fascists to Congress?

    This is an arena where two sides are galaxies apart. One side has no clue what the other side is talking about, and the other side refuses to answer questions and just gets mad at those who don't understand them.

    The FL DL has "sex" on it, not "gender" - whether you take gender to mean the same thing as sex or you don't, it's "sex" on the DL. We're constantly being bombarded with the idea that "gender is not the same thing as sex." If that's true, why are we trying to change "sex" on the DL? I could see an argument to list both (probably the most informative in terms of identification) for those who choose to use these terms as different (recognizing that not everybody agrees they are different), but I can't see an argument to replace "sex" with this new concept of "gender." That doesn't help everybody from an identification perspective.

    If there are no objective standards, then what's the point of listing it on your driver's license?

    What pray tell is this difference of which you speak?

    Sex= Male or Female;
    Gender = Male or Female.

    "Gender reveals" = pink (F) or blue (M).

    Agree!

    (Though we probably disagree vastly on which states are leaning fascist, and what constitutes fascism).

    Maybe they just replace sex or gender on the DL with something like "Type of genital organ."

    Agree, except for leaving your last question open ended.

    It's objective, and a closed question.

    Just more psychotic leftist lunacy that doesn't warrant serious consideration.

    Keep that fluffy kaleidoscope bullshit in ivory tower philosophy class rooms, let the real world do real world bidniz...
