    I haven’t been safe to go to Florida for a while, but now I am officially unsafe. My license has X for my gender marker, so I don’t think they would like that

      I live in Florida and these opinions are very rare among any major city’s population. In fact, I just took a group of kids to an art event at the capital and they drew (in chalk) a trans themed square on the ground just outside of one of the legislative chambers.

      Please understand that the south is full of the most brutally progressive people. Everything we do is intentional and FOUGHT for. That is why our politicians try so deeply to oppress us. It’s bothering them so much that it’s not working.

            Right, but if it is against the law for me to have an X on my license, the cops have a reason to use violence. Not playing around with that. I have a couple reasons to go to Florida, but none of them are worth that potential

      My license has X

      Then you’re likely halfway there! Florida is asking not for gender, but for your “innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics”… which can only be understood as your chromosomal sex. Just need to add one or two letters, for XX, XY, XXX, XXY, or XYY, and you’re done! 🤡

      (unless you’re a chimera or a transplant patient, then you might need to list all the chromosomal sexes of each of your components… I guess)
