Arkansas To Ban Use Of ‘X’ On Drivers Licenses, Says Gender Must Match Birth Certificate
Daily Wire ^ | March 12, 2024 | Leif Le Mahieu

Posted on 03/13/2024 11:24:59 PM PDT by deks

Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Sanders said on Tuesday that the state would ban the use of “X” on driver’s licenses and that state IDs must identify the individual as either male or female, according to an announcement first shared with The Daily Wire.

“This policy is just common sense,” Sanders told The Daily Wire. “Only women give birth, men shouldn’t play women’s sports, and there are only two genders. As long as I’m Governor, Arkansas state government will not endorse nonsense.”

“This change announced today reflects a commonsense approach that ensures a license or ID issued by the State of Arkansas is based on objective, verifiable information,” Hudson said. “All of our stakeholders in law enforcement, other government agencies, caregivers, schools, and businesses depend on DFA-issued licenses and IDs to keep our communities safe and to prevent fraud.

The discontinued policy is not supported by Arkansas law and was never subject to public comment and review by the Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC), as required by the Administrative Procedures Act.”

I think some states allow you to retroactively change the sex on your birth certificate.

Found this in an AP article...

“At least 22 states and the District of Columbia allow “X” as an option on licenses and IDs.”

Delusion now dominantes society. How did we get to the point that reality is revolutionary?

That's stupid. Who would ever claim to be Elon Musk's social media platform?

I know, that can be confusing :)

I’ve been wondering lately what would be the best disambiguation when writing X for social media?

X-twit

X Corp

the X formerly known as twitter

Arkansas needs Sarah Sanders as Gov. America also needs her in the White House in some capacity. That can wait, if she should even want this for herself.

Lack of clear Bible teaching and a population that often rejects it if it is taught.

Good to see.....a state with some actual common sense that is not willing to go along with Leftist fads.

“Only women give birth, men shouldn’t play women’s sports, and there are only two genders.”

Here is where I disagree. There are only two sexes and what goes on all your paperwork should be your biological sex, not your gender. Let’s be honest here. Gender, while once also know as sex has been coopted by the left as a means of confusing the citizenry.

There is a way however to get around it which will piss the left off big time. As far as I am concerned, there can be 500 genders, but why not 1000? Anyone can claim what gender they are. As an example, I am a biological male, but identify as a female golden retriever named Pickles. My spouse is a biological female, but identifies as a wheel of cheese. My pronouns are “Sit and stay” My wife’s pronouns are “Brie and Gouda.”

Both my wife and I were friends with a couple who claimed Binary and He/Him genders. When we told them ours, they got angry and told us it wasn’t funny. We told them we support them in whatever they choose as their pronouns. They said that was ridiculous and my wife’s response was classic. She said, and I quote, “Thank you for making my point. It is ridiculous and the fact you bought into this nonsensical characterization that the left victimized you with is extremely worrisome. Maybe a psychiatrist can help.”

They haven’t spoken to us since.

License and registration please.



Now step out of the vehicle, drop your drawers, and give me your birth certificate - please.
