The court declared that Oklahoma law has never allowed changes to gender markers for any reason, expanding the state’s anti-trans restrictions to cis people in a humorous twist.

    Thus making gender markers useless as they no longer reflect reality, like if you were stuck with the address assigned at birth. Might as well get rid of the concept altogether.

      You’re telling me they’re making the best solution the only legally viable fix? This is terrific.

          I’m mainly playing it for laughs, but I don’t hate that characterization

    So you can have men competing in women’s sports … as long as it’s due to a clerical error shortly after their birth.

      Yes. They’re ranked amongst the lowest in public education throughout the entirety of the US.

        which is really saying something, because education is incredibly terrible throughout the entirety of the US.

        It might not be a stretch to say they are among the lowest in Western countries, perhaps even the world.

          Now I’m curious who the lowest is. You’d have to define what “Western” is, quantify some ratings, and other static statistical definitions. I bet it’s Canada.

          Oh wait, no, we have the south. Shit.

          Yeah, it might be the US. I guess it depends on how the rankings work, when, and what countries are included.

          Might be important to make a wealth:edu ratio. We’re DEFINITELY lowest in that regard. I’d put money on that. Probably lowest or very close to lowest in anything wealth:outcome.

    “Are you trans?”

    “Yes, but only because of a clerical error.”

    Less than 1% of people living there would even consider changing their marker on their documents. There are probably more clerical errors that happen than Trans folk who need their marker change.

      Research shows that when societies kick trans people out of sports and bathrooms harassment towards cis women increases.

    Have whatever opinion on the whole trans issue, making clerical errors permanent is ridiculous.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
