Arkansas will no longer allow residents to use “X” instead of male or female on state-issued driver’s licenses or identification cards, officials announced under new rules Tuesday that will also make it more difficult for transgender people to change the sex listed on their licenses and IDs.
The changes announced by the Department of Finance and Administration reverse a practice that’s been in place since 2010, and removes the “X” option that had been used by nonbinary and intersex residents. The agency has asked a legislative panel to approve an emergency rule spelling out the new process.
Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who last year signed an executive order banning gender-neutral terms from state documents, called the move “common sense.”
“As long as I’m governor, Arkansas state government will not endorse nonsense,” Sanders said in a news release.
why did all the states decide to suck harder once biden got in?
his conservative catholic ass got in and the US seems more republican and Christian than ever
maybe this “two” party system actually does not work and we might need to start thinking about the possibility that other parties exist besides these two corporate ones
we need more than the steps from a walking dead baby
those first steps happened a long time ago and now is the time to move forward and stop this but we did baby steps bullshit
Because Republicans have no other course of action other than to become more authoritarian and anit democracy as time goes on. It’s mathematically impossible for them to ever win the popular vote and the electoral college is slipping as a possibility as well. So that only leaves political violence and actual violence as an option. It’s not Biden’s fault outside of not being left leaning enough. Conservatism is a death cult, meeting them half way in anything is a fools errand.
Because Mitch McConnell packed the supreme court with appointees by blocking a vote at the end of Obama’s term, and hand picked three justices for Trump to sign off on. Not to mention the extremely high number of other federal appointments that the Senate refused to vote on until they had a pawn in the white house.
Then the Supreme Court overturned decades of protections for the American people, especially when it comes to women, and GSMs.
Then the states were free to discriminate against their population.
It’s fallout from the effects of Republican court packing nearly a decade ago, it just took time to take effect.
