Starting Tuesday, transgender Texans are no longer able to change the sex on their driver’s license, according to a new state Department of Public Safety (DPS) policy.

“As of Aug. 20, 2024, DPS has stopped accepting these court orders as a basis to change sex identification in department records – including driver licenses,” a spokesperson with the department wrote to The Hill.

...

Before the policy change, Texans could change the sex on their driver’s license if they had a valid court order. However, the DPS spokesperson wrote that state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) “raised concerns regarding the validity of court orders being issued.”

Did you write in “ostrich”?

[TornadoAlley3]

Yes. Totally encompassing all jurisdictions. Including but not limited to:

Immigration
Census and other government statistics
Car insurance
Hiring and Admissions
Education
Sporting records
Jail population

Women will be shown as greater than, the reality is, they will be less than.

In a criminal investigation, false identities can delay judicial proceedings. Eyewitnesses see a female perp. ID says female. After weeks of searching for female, DNA at crime scene is male.

Exactly. CSI Miami did a show with this theme maybe fifteen years ago.

I pity geneaologists of the future.

Well said
Can I use that?

“Women will be shown as greater than, the reality is, they will be less than.”

Yeah, well... as a woman... a real woman that is rather strong spiritually and ideologically.... I am offended by all of the “fake superwoman” BS that the left continually pushes... even while tearing down “real women and girls” in womens’ sports and other venues by supporting men pretending to be women. Offended doesn’t even begin to cover how it affects me, come to think of it.

Of course!

I like the way the far-left maggots try to confuse the issue by saying homo garbage like, “the sex you had “assigned” to you at the hospital” by a mysterious individual who looked a lot like Captain Kangaroo.

There is no place for “gender” on the TX driver license. Tell the tranny it doesn’t matter what gender he/she/they/ze/zir/zem pretend/s to be, sex is a function of biology and has a place on the license.

You can’t pretend about your height, name, or date of birth on your license either.

VERY VALID POINT

[Gaffer]

Even when caught and brought in for processing at the jail. A legal ID saying female could make the cops put them in with other women, etc.

Good stuff. In Texas at least, the delusions of the seriously mentally ill only go so far!

Apparently that is an anonymous quote, and no record found (claims “the Internet”) that Dostoievski said:

“Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles”

Democrats are not the party for women. They champion no real threats to womanhood. They erase women from womb to tomb. They actually hate women.
The women in that party are self hating miserable victim loving Marxists.

More like Texas doesn’t allow the mentally ill to claim a false gender on their drivers license.

“Democrats are not the party for women. They champion no real threats to womanhood. They erase women from womb to tomb. They actually hate women.
The women in that party are self hating miserable victim loving Marxists.”

Agreed. And they are hypocritical, dishonest as hell Marxists, to boot.

Yep - I checked too and it appears he didn’t say that.....
