Because if she lived in Kansas, in a few months she won't have any external male parts whatsoever, and if she had to put an M on her license it wouldn't even make sense.

I was providing an example of just how utterly stupid this law is.

    I'm sorry she's having to deal with this BS. I have a feeling the next step is to arrest her in a pullover for having an invalid license when the cop doesn't believe the M instead of the F and says it's fake. Or when she tries to go to a bar and gets told its fake.

    She's (I say this with a massive amount of sigh) fortunately in Ohio, so doesn't have to deal with this. I'm still working on seeing if she can file for refugee status here in Canada and she can move here.

    But what you are saying is 100% part of the point. Make trans people's licenses look like they're fake. A trans male who looks more dude than me, a cis man, with an F on his license might get more harassed about it, arrested, etc. The cruelty is the point. The right knows they can't just make being trans illegal. But they can sure work their way towards it slowly. And this is just another step towards it.

    First they came for.
