A Kansas bill to impose restrictions on access to public bathrooms and stop transgender people changing the name or gender on their driver’s licenses have passed the state legislature and will likely be passed over the governor’s expected veto. Rights advocates claimed the bills would legally erase transgender people and deny recognition to non-binary, gender fluid and gender non-conforming people.

“I am what they are scared of,” Ian Benalcazar, a 13-year-old NE Kansas transgender boy said during a recent LGBTQ rights rally outside the statehouse. “I am a human being and I deserve to be treated as such, and I deserve to be happy.” Carson Rapp, a Wichita-area 15-year-old who identifies as bigender or embracing “both more masculine and more feminine traits” said that expressing one’s gender identity does not harm others. “Why stop people from doing it if they’re just being themselves and having fun?” Carson said.

What's so clear is that these kids are totally unready to decide to have their bodies deranged by experimental puberty-blockers, mutilated by mercenary surgeons, and sterilised by lifelong drug treatment. Such fun!

Why have gender on a driving licence at all? What have internal feelings of masculinity or femininity got to do with either driving or identification? Gender should simply not be on a driving licence. It should be sex. If they are using the word ‘gender’ as a synonym for sex then this should be defined and then your diving licence should reflect your sex but really they should just change it to ‘sex’ to avoid confusion. And in either case, you should not be able to change it.

Changing name legislation should be the same for everyone, transgender status is irrelevant. If a boy wants to be called Sue…

I'd assume that boy was a Johnny Cash fan with a sense of humour

A Boy Named Sue: Johnny Cash

the lyrics to a boy named sue. its..... pretty good...

Do you think MNHQ could be persuaded to ban the word “alignment” and all its variations on this board?

I honestly think it would massively improve the quality of discussion.

If the people using “align with” could be forced to say what they actually mean instead… and I think they mean “agree with”… perhaps they would finally hear how ridiculous they sound.

I agree!

I also wish MN could trial hosting proper debates where you had to summarise the opposing point of view and demonstrate you had understood it before presenting your own argument.
