Three trans individuals have sued Alabama state officials for requesting a letter from their physician as evidence of their “gender reassignment” before changing the sex described on their driver’s license. They have not provided the medical documentation as none of them have had such procedures, they rather feel like the opposite sex so they’re arguing the state must recognize them as such. 

The problem these trans trio have is, they already have the freedom to identify themselves as whatever they wish, they can call themselves any name or pronoun they can think of and do whatever the hell they want, but they cannot make everybody else play along.

The government simply cannot force its citizens to identify people by a sex that conflicts with reality and it cannot force them to endorse the view that sex is a random guess at birth and that sex is mutable. Citizens have their own individual rights to refuse an ideology which forces them to say something that is untrue. 

Arguing a person’s feelings determines their sex and how the person must be recognized for all social and legal purposes, and then either suing or firing anyone who holds onto reality and doesn’t play along is precisely why it isn’t Trump responsible for the rising mistrust and opposition against trans activism – it’s themselves. 

If our sex can be swapped around on a whim depending on how we feel, then what’s stopping us from changing our height, weight, age, ethnicity or nationality based on what we feel and what we want it to be? If changing any of these seem completely absurd, then why are we being forced to willingly accept it when it comes to sex? 

“The right to exist” sounds impossible to argue against, until you realize the only rights under attack are the ones which protects the truth.

Policy Order 63 and Defendants’ practices violate the First Amendment rights of Ms. Clark and Mr. Doe to refrain from speaking by forcing them to disclose to each person who sees their license private information about their transgender status and their medical condition, and by forcing them to identify themselves to each person who sees their license by a gender that conflicts with their core identity.

Policy Order 63 and Defendants’ practices further violate the First Amendment rights of Ms. Clark and Mr. Doe to refrain from speaking by forcing them to endorse the government’s position on their own gender, as well as on the meaning of gender generally, through the license they must carry daily and show to others. The gender marker listed on Ms. Clark’s and Mr. Doe’s license conveys the state’s ideological message that gender is determined solely by the appearance of external genitals at the time of birth unless modified through certain surgical procedures, a message with which Ms. Clark and Mr. Doe vehemently disagree.

Policy Order 63 and Defendants’ practices violate Ms. Corbitt’s First Amendment rights to refrain from speaking by denying her access to an Alabama driver license unless she signs a form stating something is true that she knows to be false, and then carries a license that forces her to make unwanted personal disclosures, identify herself in a way that conflicts with who she knows herself to be, and endorse a government message about her own gender and gender in general with which she strongly disagrees.

This is absolutely, completely, fucking insane.
