Alabama's trans ID law requiring proof of surgery is unconstitutional, court rules. - NBCOUT

"It's not acceptable for the government to force people to undergo a procedure like that just to get a license that they can use safely and go about their daily life," Arkles said.of transgender and gender-nonconforming people reported having undergone some form of transition-related surgery, according to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey.

"Any time a trans person shows an ID with the wrong gender marker on it, that outs us, which also puts people at real, real risk of experiencing discrimination and violence," he said. "The alternative to surgery is to bear a driver license with a sex designation that does not match the plaintiffs' identity or appearance," the court wrote."That too comes with pain and risk. ... For these plaintiffs, being reminded that they were once identified as a different sex is so painful that they redacted their prior names from exhibits they filed with the court."

Corbitt celebrated that"finally the state of Alabama will be required to respect me and provide an accurate driver's license."

NBCOUT It’s plain and simple. If you say you are or aren’t something or are who you say you are , then you should have to provide proof to prevent fraud of any sort.

NBCOUT You know it is a joke that they are trying to get sex change when the birth certificate states boy or girl. They can Mutilate yourself all over, however they are still what they were born with. Besides you can just look at the people and recognize who they are.

NBCOUT GOOD, WE CANT HAVE 'TRANS WOMEN' (MEN) GOING INTO THE LADIES ROOM (PROBABLY TO MOLEST A CHILD)

NBCOUT How about you just go by what your birth certificate says👍🏻 BelieveScience

NBCOUT Alabama being all Alabama-ey.

NBCOUT Same state that kept pedophile Woody as a senator and then went on to elect someone so stupid, his campaign strategy was to avoid saying anything. These are people that shouldn’t be allowed to judge others.

NBCOUT I’m not trans. But I can see conservative bias and persecution when it’s codified into law. What on the conservatives dna drives them to single out group after group for harassment and persecution throughout history. Or is it just that they are deplorable 🤷🏼‍♂️

NBCOUT A new level of low. Interesting to see who’s pocket this initiative would be filling.

NBCOUT It is the same law in KY...

NBCOUT It is a good idea to place notifications of transgenderism to any particular ID, so as to not cause confusion, when you have a man's name with a woman's face on the ID, something to think about!

NBCOUT So what will they have instead?

NBCOUT AllNightGrandVigil Those walking on the wide road will lack wisdom and understanding. For the wicked, The Great White Throne Judgement is waiting.

NBCOUT A man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man. It's not possible. Follow the science.

NBCOUT Well, I mean. Women don't have a penis.

NBCOUT As an LGBTQI person I think gender confirmation certification by a hospital is a wonderful idea then the person can have their identity validated by the state. Those who chose not to have surgery can have an intermediate identity X for example or Identity human.

NBCOUT School teachers are not telling who has covid due to hepa laws but your going to get that personal in a private life that doesn’t infect anyone

NBCOUT How hard is it to add an option on the driver's license for Trans? Far easier than access to surgery, which not everyone has or want, as the article noted. The updated picture, name, license numbers' history of driving ability, & locating address seems enough to me.

NBCOUT When wills gheee d as iutgrrnbdrates outgrow their racist, bigoted, Jim Crow past
