Law California becomes first state to allow nonbinary on IDs, Birth Certificates

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/california-state-legally-institute-gender-article-1.3571798

California has taken a step in recognizing all genders.

The Gender Recognition Act, which was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, will allow transgender, intersex and non-binary individuals to choose a third gender option on their state IDs, birth certificates and driver's licenses starting in 2019.

“With Governor Brown’s signature on this bill, transgender and non-binary people will now be able to identify themselves as they are, not as who society tells them they should be,” state Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) said in a statement.

Oregon began allowing a third option, “X,” on driver’s licenses in the state earlier this year, but it was not signed into law. Washington, D.C., also has a third gender option on IDs, but neither state allows changes to birth certificates. Australia, Canada, Germany and India all recognize a third gender.

 

[Burgers in the ass]

Oh, Cali, you silly rascal.

 

[GabeRegan]

So does this allow crazies to change their children's birth certificates? Because I can't imagine this causing any issues twenty years down the line. Also, lol at the article thinking Washington DC is a state.

 

[CWCchange]

Wait, they didn't already?

 

[DonaldJTrump]

This only makes Trump look better and better by 2020, who knows maybe California will be seceded by then.

 

[Bassomatic]

That's good because I forget sometimes if my sex is a lobster, or that's my gender. The other is an attack helicopter.

RESPECT ME

also gib mo free shit

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

good.

What if I don't identify as X either?
They have to up their inclusiveness.

Our roads are so shit I feel like I'm driving through Somalia, we have the most oppressively high tax rates in the country, our Universities are overrun by the Red Guard 2.0, we're on the fast track to a cataclysmic earthquake our infrastructure can't support, we have a nightmarish teacher shortage because our schools are filled with the children of gangbangers, the homeless turned Hollywood Boulevard into a designated shitting street, we're a trillion dollars in debt, and half the state is on fire.

But this is what's really important. Even though the only reason Governor Moonbeam passed this is because he wants good press to distract us from the fact he's spending all our money on his stupid goddamn fucking train.

Damn do I hate Scott Wiener. Why the fuck is Brown listening to this brainless SJW fuck?

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

Brown is literally insane at this point. Anyone with a (D) next to their name can basically just tell him to do something and he'll do it.

Welcome to the new normal- permanent crisis.

When can I finally get my birb certificate?

 

[Lackadaisy]

When can I finally get my birb certificate?

birb es not gender. birb es life.

 

[Zvantastika]

So we all now can be identified as kiwis like for realsies?

 

[Trober]

I see this speeding up biometric and facial recognition database requirements. What good is an ID if it's based on how you feel?

 

[Collections Agent]

This would be effective if you could only change it once. So that one ass who decides that he's actually a transgender faerie goddess is addressed as such when he's a 70 year old man with grandkids regretting all his choices in life

The San Andreas fault can't snap and sink California into the ocean soon enough.

I dream of Arizona Bay.

But feelings are more important than obvious physical gender markers!

I think it's absurd. It's all based on feelings and not wanting to trigger people. Being labled male or female is normal and natural. There is no such thing as a third gender or nonbinary. What are they supposed to do when there's an accident? Do you take the victim's license out, see that they are nonbinary then mark them down as such even if they are nine months pregnant or are 6'4" with a ZZ Top beard and a male genital injury? What if the victim wakes up during transport or examination and hears their birth gender being used? Through all the blood and pain do they cry in protest that you are misgendering them?

Maybe I'm going a little far with this. But it's absurd as all hell and correct biological gender on an ID is actually pretty important when it comes to such things as emergency medical treatment. Like it or not your biological gender is eventually going to come up as important for something. Whether it be medical or identification related. You cannot run from biology no matter what you chop off or call a girldick.

Our roads are so shit I feel like I'm driving through Somalia, we have the most oppressively high tax rates in the country, our Universities are overrun by the Red Guard 2.0, we're on the fast track to a cataclysmic earthquake our infrastructure can't support, we have a nightmarish teacher shortage because our schools are filled with the children of gangbangers, the homeless turned Hollywood Boulevard into a designated shitting street, we're a trillion dollars in debt, and half the state is on fire.

As if we needed any more confirmation that California is fucked. This is what's important. Letting snowflakes be the gender that they feel. Stupid political virtue signalling.

So does this allow crazies to change their children's birth certificates? Because I can't imagine this causing any issues twenty years down the line. Also, lol at the article thinking Washington DC is a state.

You should not be allowed to change your child's gender on a birth certificate. But I imagine that's coming. So when the son you didn't want is changed into the girl you always wanted because you claim at two years old he was spewing college level insights on his gender identity instead of cramming Lego up his nose and eating the dog's food, you can just switch his gender officially when you decide to start shopping in the little girl's section and buying dolls instead of trucks.

And of course most of those kids are going to have to have it switched back when they get older.

Maynard James Keenan called it years ago - the only way to fix it is to flush it all away
