Does this mean trans Canadians actually can’t visit Florida?
How long until an employer gets sued for housing an event in Florida and it being ruled discriminatory?
This is how tourism and trade dies.
Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 33•1 year agoI 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
jarfil ( @jarfil@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agoMy 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)
janabuggs ( @janabuggs@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoI 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.
Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 15•1 year agoI for sure know there are progressive people. The cops are the ones I don’t trust, though
janabuggs ( @janabuggs@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoThat’s why you film everything and pull over with your marginalized peers :)
Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 11•1 year agoRight, 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

Blake (he/him) ( @bl4kers@beehaw.org ) English9•1 year agoIs Georgia that much better? Serious question
bermuda ( @bermuda@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year agoStatistically it used to be like Arkansas but it’s improved a lot these past few years. Still a long way to go though, I don’t think I’d ever move there as it stands

Welcome to this place, I’ll show you everything
millie ( @millie@beehaw.org ) English17•1 year agoThe travel safety guide they posted seems to have a much rosier picture of Arizona than I’d attribute to a state that locks trans women up with men.
MangoKangaroo ( @MangoKangaroo@beehaw.org ) 16•1 year agoFlorida continuing to ensure that I’ll never be giving them either my business nor my professional skills. Not that I’d want to anyways, on account of the weather and bugs wanting me just as dead as the politicians.

MangoKangaroo ( @MangoKangaroo@beehaw.org ) 6•1 year agoSadly I’d probably melt into a puddle in California’s weather.

megopie ( @megopie@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoMore unenforceable poorly written laws that only exist to pander to weirdos online.
Unenforceable? I’m pretty sure cops will enforce it if they want to lol
Safeguard ( @Safeguard@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoI have a gay son and a trans nephew. I can tell you right now: This family will not be visiting
CaliforniaFlorida anytime soon.The fun part is, while looking for vacations abroad,
CaliforniaFlorida and a lot of the USA is now in the same corner as Iran, China, a lot of Africa, etc, etc. places that are not open minded about such things.When will
CaliforniaFlorida show it’s true colors again? Or is this it?What? California has protections for trans people. This article is about Florida
Safeguard ( @Safeguard@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agoYeah I made a mistake… Thanks!
NattyNatty2x4 ( @NattyNatty2x4@beehaw.org ) 26•1 year agoYou misspelled Florida a lot there lol
