Transgender activists staged die-ins at driver’s license offices statewide, with crowds disrupting business in many lobbies. The demonstrations follow a controversial decision to stop allowing gender changes on state ID.
After 10 a.m., protesters arrived in lobbies for tax collectors in Alachua, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade and Orange counties and collapsed on the ground, feigning death in the offices. Some held gravestones reading “Killed By the DMV” or “Killed by Ron DeSantis.”
The protests were organized in large part by PRISM, an LGBTQ advocacy group leading the “Let Trans People Drive” campaign.
“Participants will stage die-ins to underscore the devastating consequences of efforts to erase the transgender community’s legal recognition,” read a release from the group.
PRISM has also asked President Joe Biden’s administration and the Justice Department to intervene and prohibit the change in policy based on the federal Real ID Act from 2005. That allows the establishment of federal criteria for government IDs. A virtual campaign through Wednesday promoted more than 650 emails to the administration seeking intervention in the Florida policy.
The event served to spotlight a change in state policy on issuing state IDs. While the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) in May 2022 updated its guidelines to allow a change in gender of state IDs without proof of gender reassignment surgery, the state agency sent out a memo to Tax Collector’s Offices in January reversing that policy.
FLHSMV Deputy Executive Director Robert Kynoch wrote in a memo to every Tax Collector’s Office that the term gender “does not refer to a person’s internal sense of his or her gender role or identification, but has historically and commonly been understood as a synonym for ‘sex,’ which is determined by innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics.”
That memo said having a state ID or license listing a gender that did not align with gender assigned at birth would effectively be violating Florida’s statute prohibiting false IDs. That would make individuals guilty of a felony and subject to up to five years of prison or probation and a $5,000 fine.
Don’t those tranny freaks have anything better to do with their time?!
DeSantis doesn’t put up with a lot of crap...
They are likely being paid from Leftist entities to do all
this stuff. It’s their job.
Wish we had a real Justice Department so they could find
where these idiots get their funding, then take that entity
down HARD.
DeSantis haters are a bunch of perverts ...
Transgenders calling to end gun violence is like cattle farmers calling to end eating meat and drinking milk.
A fake “die-in” from a retarded mob of fake boys and girls. More far-left phony booschidt.
Commit them for mental health evaluation as they have serious issues that may be life threatening to them or the public.
Just step over them and let them pretend to be dead.
Start cracking skulls and this shit will stop. The more you tolerate it, the more of it you’ll get.
“That memo said having a state ID or license listing a gender that did not align with gender assigned at birth would effectively be violating Florida’s statute prohibiting false IDs”
The Florida drivers license does not list a gender, it lists a sex.

“start cracking skulls”. you want a “georgette floyd” incident? Law enforcements hands are tied, the public will have to step up.
that is why they are choosing very carefully which locations they protest ... Florida has some places where heads will get accidentally kicked a few times ...
The psychos all attack DeSantis. That should tell you something about the man. He’s got all the right enemies.
“...Transgender activists staged die-ins...”
I despise, loathe and hate the leftist, mentally-ill, subhuman filth. I’d be happy to help them have REAL DIE-INs.
Ok. Die away.
Probably better than putting them in air-tight body bags.
Not literally?
