Male, female or X? Oregon adds third option to driver's licenses
By Terray Sylvester
Oregon became on Thursday the first U.S. state to allow residents to identify as other than male or female on state driver's licenses, a decision that transgender advocates called a victory.
Under a policy unanimously adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission, residents can choose to have an "X," for non-specified, displayed on their drivers' license or identification cards rather than an "M" for male or "F" for female. The move was cheered by supporters as a civil rights victory.
The state's Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division expects to start offering the option in July.
"I very much plan to head to the nearest DMV and ask for that ID to be corrected on July 3rd," said Jamie Shupe, an Army veteran who successfully petitioned for the non-binary gender option. "And then I'll no doubt stand out front of the building, or sit in the car, and cry."
Transgender rights have become a flashpoint across the United States after some states, including North Carolina, have tried to restrict transgender people's use of public bathrooms.
At the end of May, a federal court ruled that a transgender boy must be allowed to use the boys' bathrooms at his high school in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Sheesh what nonsense.
I guess it’s one way to subvert the dominant paradigm. And hide your true identity as well. If the gov’t is going to help you do that...good!
From the land of lumberjacks? This?
What happens when the cops put out an APB? Look out for “it”?
None of these people are transgendered. They’re drag queens.

1 Adam 12, reports of shots fired, caller described the suspect as an X.
I’m good with a 3rd option - that would make the choices:
Male
Female
Mentally ill and/or pervert
Helps to quickly assess things if they self-identify.
IDIOTS !
I guess the state of Oregon thinks it can legislate DNA.
Why would “transgender” advocates cheer something that is of no gender?
How will this bs fly with the upcoming National Standards for Driver’s licenses?
Where only male or female sexes is allowed on that official id.
“..I guess the state of Oregon thinks it can legislate DNA...”
Typical liberals in their faux world. Reality does not play into it.
They can call "it" anything they like.
That doesn't change what "it" really is.
Then other states will be sued to make them do the same thing. And the dick choppers win again.
I am for adopting the all inclusive pronoun She, He, It and or Transsexual or simply us the acronym S.H.I.T.

“Pinging Avacado... “ Is that the spelling near the event horizon? Void is void, and null is null, and never the twain shall meet.:)
We need to change the American flag to show 49 stars and a white question mark, or a printed “Whatever,” to represent Oregon.
