How a transgender teen got South Carolina to change its license photo policy

Washington Post ^ | 04/22/2015 | Elahe Izadi

The new policy, to be implemented by the end of May, states that cosmetic makeup can be worn on any person “regardless of gender,” and that a person isn’t misrepresenting his or her identity when makeup or clothing don’t match traditional gender expectations. DMV employees will also be trained in how to serve transgender and gender non-conforming individuals.

The lawsuit, settled in the U.S. District Court in Columbia, S.C., was the first of its kind to challenge these sorts of restrictions on license photos, according to Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund executive director Michael Silverman. Lawyers for the organization said the new policies and training will help transgender South Carolina residents.

So if a man plans on breaking a lot of laws and wants to dawn lipstick a wig and full make-up, so it will be harder to identify him later on, it’s a-okay now.

Thanks so much Washington Post. Good to know.

Trangenderness is the new human rights struggle. When will being the Devil be a human rights check box?

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

Next they’ll agree to the full veil also.

Then all you have to do is claim you’re a self-identifying female Islamic adherent.

Such a pretty boi!

He likes other bois, but he's not homosexual.

Just cause he has a penis, don't judge him!

“My clothing and makeup reflect who I am,” she he said in a statement

The whining of transgenders, homosexuals and other sexual deviates has reached the point where it joins racial complaints as nothing but white noise off in the distance.

Like the buzzing from a power transformer on a light pole.

It's there.

it's making some kind of noise.

But no one pays any attention to it any more.

that’s exactly how I felt when I saw the article!!! like when I little kid keeps saying mommy mommy, look at me!!!

[terycarl]

isn't it amazing how 1/2 of 1% of the population can literally run things if they whine enough!!!

My mother would have said sit down and shut up!!!!

[SoFloFreeper]

Because the inmates are running the asylum.

It is not that high. The incidence of this mental disorder is .3% or less. The amount of these mental cases are approximately 3 in every 1000 people. Or less!
