The kid should be able to obtain an ID that can accurately be used to identify him.

If I can get my State ID with an occasional pornstache and afro, then this kid should be able to get his picture wearing Edith Bunkers "Thursday outfit"
I tend to agree with the state, but that's an excellent point. Sounds like the policy may actually be defeating the point of having the policy.What's the point of the photograph on an ID? Shouldn't it be a representation of how the person looks when the ID is needed by an authority figure, such as a police officer making a stop, TSA agent verifying a ticket or clerk selling alcohol or cigarettes? If he's always wearing makeup, shouldn't the photo reflect how he's going to look when his ID is needed to verify identity? Do they make women wipe off all their makeup? Seems silly to me.
I'd suggest that problem is self-correcting. If for some inscrutable reason this otherwise normal kid decides to get his ID in drag, then every time he needs ID it's going to cause him problems. If this kid is normally in drag and is forced to forced to have his ID picture in normal male attire sans makeup, then every time he needs ID it's going to cause him problems. Only if he is conspiring to commit a crime and/or make an escape in normal male attire sans makeup is this going to be a problem for government, and one could make an argument that straight boys could even more easily commit crimes and/or make escapes in drag with normal ID photos. Certainly an otherwise normal young man would be a less likely suspect in an apparently female-committed crime than is a young man in drag in an apparently male-committed crime. Hell, they're probably looking for something with which to charge him anyway.This makes complete sense.
The problem becomes how does the DMV verify that is actually the case?
I think everyone should be forced to have their DMV pic taken after being blasted by a fire hose, because that's what you're going to look like when the cops are going to need an accurate ID to fill out their paperwork.I'd suggest that problem is self-correcting.

Just because the knee jerks does not mean the knee is necessarily correct.
Good point.I think everyone should be forced to have their DMV pic taken after being blasted by a fire hose, because that's what you're going to look like when the cops are going to need an accurate ID to fill out their paperwork.
He makes a cute girl.
Personally, if a girl is actually a guy I want that to be apparent up front - so to speak. That is NOT the kind of surprise I want sprung on me.Not bad, but he needs to grow the hair out more and either get breast implants or up the dosage on the female hormones. Right now I'd say he's more a CD than a TS.
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.She needs to do her eyebrows some in my opinion. Also, posting in an idiotic TH thread. I'm transgender TH, and I had a father my entire childhood and still do. I occasionally go to support groups/have a lot of friends who are trans just because of how I live my life and I almost certainly know more trans people than you and their father not being their has never really come up with any of them. If anything a lot of them lived the first several decades of their life spiraling into a deep depression/homeless/in mental wards/attached to a family they'd later destroy/ or just simply dead because of their parents.
I hope she wins her suit; they need a nosebleed over this. When I got my military retiree's ID they didn't bat an eye at me having make up on or a wig even (before I was able to grow out my hair). That was how I looked all the time that's how the picture was taken.
LOL Alphabet people. I like that.All must bend to the will of the alphabet people.

Great reading comprehension, spanky.Yeah, life was so much easier when they had to bow to your will.
Now it's just all too icky.
My daughter was arrested, still waiting for the outcome.
I'd give some real serious thought to the choices I was making. If it was important to me to have a beard, dress in flamboyant drag and wear makeup in public, I'd be adult about it and bear the burden. I'd also realize that my lifestyle is representative of a minute percentage of the population and asking everybody else to change to make me happier was unrealistic.Is it really that bad to see someone balk at being denied living like a human being?
Imagine you went to the DMV with a beard and they told you they didn't allow beards. Imagine the person ahead of you had a beard and got their license just fine. Now, imagine every time you have to show your ID, you're going to be barraged with questions about the difference in looks and potentially verbally or even physically harassed.
Forget all the other shit in the thread. How would the above scenario make you feel?
The line will be drawn when the first white dude shows up in blackface. When that occurs, we'll see the intolerance of the 'tolerant' on full display.Also, a line need be drawn somewhere.
Man with daughter in the slammer judges other people's parenting.
