A 16 year old in South Carolina is suing the Department of Motor Vehicles (with the backing of a Gay Activist group, natch) because they wouldn’t take his driver’s license photo in full drag.
Chase Culpepper, who was born male, regularly wears makeup and either androgynous or women’s clothing. The teen does not identify with gender-specific pronouns. Culpepper told reporters Tuesday that being ordered by officials to remove what they called a disguise was humiliating.
The lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday says the DMV violated the teen’s rights.
“I was asked to act normal It hurt my feelings. I’m suing.”
waaaaaaaaa! crybaby.
And this is why transgendered rights make no sense.
You let this teen get away with it, then you make it that much easier for someone to create a fake identity.
In addition, the ONLY way they would ask that, is if the kid was doing it WRONG!! If you think you’re female, fine, go all the way, and work on your voice and everything else. If not, don’t go around in public halfway and expect everyone else to ignore the other half. That’s just plain selfish.
They are called “rules” for a reason. Sheesh!
Apparently some Neanderthal gay activists still think there is a biological difference between genders.

Sounds like this teen won’t be a survivor.
It’s a sign of the times when other people’s neuroses become everyone’s problem.
More and more, I understand why many straight people are hostile to gays and lesbians (and the other ??? genders): it’s not sufficient to live and let live – to give eccentric minorities the freedom to live as they want – it’s become mandatory to accept and embrace; to reconstruct society for every permutation of human existence (which is, of course, an impossibility).
For some reason I never get invited to these parties where people put their preferred gender on a nametag, I so want to put bivectron

They make you take your glasses off as well. How discriminatory!
According to the cited story, the organization helping the cupcake is bringing action because the rule is “vague and arbitrary”. So let it go through the process so that the replaced rule is no longer vague and arbitrary. Boom! Problem solved. (At least until the next personal appearance issue arises.)
