Texas Voter ID bill will force transgender people to out themselves at polls
From Dallas Voice:
The Republican-backed voter ID bill passed the Texas House of Representatives on Wednesday night.
During the floor debate on the bill, Laredo Democrat Richard Raymond asked, “Anytime you deal with a law as comprehensive and as big as this you have to take into account people’s voting rights. You would agree with that, right?â€
Plano Republican Van Taylor said, “I think it is important to remember that this bill is about making sure that the right people show up on election day and vote.â€
“That the right people show up on election day?†Raymond asked. “Who are the right people?â€

1. The wave of GOP regression continues...what state will it not effect?
Amazing...we are watching class/race/sexual warfare heating up in all corners. It is as if they have all lost their ****ing minds after watching Tatter Nuts get elected on the Insane Party(tm) platform.
Insane...we are dealing with irrational people that pretend to believe in democracy and freedom!
You know what -- If you change your name, sex, or have some other serious alteration in appearance, get a new ID. Its as simple as that.
Hell cashing a check, going on a cruise, getting pulled over, getting into bars and even ordering a drink at Applebees can out transsexuals as well.
I have a patient that I must ID to give her his meds...
The dad drives the confused young man around. He has legally changed his name, but his gender is still "M" on his ID.
I feel sorry for the father that is placed in this situation. But I am also glad his father remains close to him as some parents walk away from their kids if they do not think exactly as they do. (Think: DUmmies)
The dad is a nice guy and it started slowly but over the years he looks more and more like a chick. I pray for the family. In Las Vegas he might blend in, but this town of 30,000 people outside of Las Vegas is a pretty small town, you run into the same people all the time.

Maybe it is a California law, but I've always heard that if your weight changes by more than 50 pounds, you are supposed to get new photo ID as your picture may not be recognizable. You would think that gender reassignment would have the same requirements.
Well guys, what is the difference between the people in mental hospitals that believe they are Napoleon or Teddy Roosevelt and normal men that think they are a woman.??????
Let's say that Fred has decided to make "the change". If he goes in and tells them his name is Freida he won't be on the list. So when he explains his situation he will be outed. If he goes in and tells them his name is Fred the fact that he now has a set of boobs will probably out him. So what's the difference?
With or without the ID the poll workers are probably going to be able to figure out that Fred is freaky.
So, Primitives - explain WHY do you hate this so much?
E ) Helps insure fair voting.

Okay, I’m confused. Say you are out for a night of clubbing and the bouncer at the door asks for ID, you know like age and stuff. But your ID says Gene and you have a beard but tonight you’re Jean in a little black party dress and heels and a clutch.
What’s the proper protocol?
Life used to be so simple.

That photo brings up another question. Based on my understanding if you're a lesbian it's because you are to be attracted to women. If so, why would you be with a woman who looks like a man? Since I'm attracted to women I suppose I could be considered a lesbian trapped in a man's body and I know I prefer women that look like women.

Freaky characters like Rachel and really swishy men are evidence of that.
Speaking as a transgender person, I have NO clue what the hubub is about.
If you're trans and live in Texas, you're just a flipping moron, to begin with.
You don't get to scream that you have to show ID at the polls. Sorry- it's a completely reasonable expectation.
I show my military ID when I vote [and for everything else].
No gender marker at all on it. :D

Unless your name is one of those that goes either male or female then you should have a gender marker. If your name is George or Jake or Kevin or Michael or ... Then folks know.

Unless your parents hated you. I seriously cannot begin to comprehend the awful names some people give their kids. Hollywood is a primo example-the Willis' girls names of Rumer and Scout are sucky. Tallulah is just old fashioned, but at least it's recognizable as a woman's name. Gwenyth Paltrow named her daughter Apple. FFS. :banghead:

It's not just celebrities. Spend five minutes around a group of under-30 black girls and you will hear some of the most off-the-wall ridiculousness passed off as names. I'd love to know when this trend got started, because it's absolutely ridiculous.
A black woman that used to work with my wife said that she thinks they just throw letters up in the air and how ever they land on the ground is used for the name.Anyone with an apostrophe or more than one capital letter in their given name will almost surely spend their life on the dole.

Roots. Which I hve never seen BTW.
OMG! My driver's license says white male! I'm going to be outted as caucasian! :censored:
Yeah cuz if I were running for office the first thing I'd think about would be "But what about the transgender vote?"

Every photo in this thread looks like a freak to me.:lmao: :lmao:
Heh, very true. :-)
In California, yes. In Texas, not so much.
