Just because someone is born into a Caucasian body does not mean they are not an African-American. Who is the state to say what your race is?

He makes a cute girl.
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.
Yeah, you have to be a big fan of conformity in order to be so beholden to the GOP the way you are.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.
If you want to behave far outside the norms of society you should fully expect to draw attention. If you don't like that attention or if you're upset that you're drawing it, seeking professional help should be a consideration. It couldn't be any simpler. As far as your statement about "potentially verbally or even physically harassed", that's a red flag. If you have fears because of the way you choose to present yourself to society, some soul searching is in order.

Well that's what happens when you have a dead beat dad. TH recognizes his mistakes and now he wants everyone else to pay for it by doing things his way. Most people don't tend to listen to those that suck at life though. That's why they are always trying to give advice, hoping that one day someone will listen to them, as if they were looking for redemption.
And remember its the "man" who constantly whines about the fact that he had to pay child support.
Typical bullshit from our resident lefties. Complain about someone being judgmental, while being judgmental. The left's hypocrisy knows no bounds.
The kid is going through a phase, in 2-5 years, he will realize he is a douchebag and dress like a normal male.
That is why the state is concerned, because the photo will not help them in-case they are looking for him at a later date.
I can honestly see both sides of the issue here, so I'm kind of torn.
Cry me a river, the OP whines all the time about having to be a responsible parent and brought the subject up himself.
Is that your professional opinion?
After reviewing the thread, it's nice to see the liberals getting schooled because even you know that you would draw the line at someone coming in with their skin painted black.
I've been asked to remove my glasses by the DMV and TSA (TWIC) when taking photos to prevent glare.
Sue the pants off 'em.

Yes, yes it is. After careful analysis of liberal dick-ishness. Followed by tossing in a little douche-bagerry.

Part of the claim is the teen is entitled to freedom of expression. I am not sure cross dressing for an official government document is freedom of expression.
So, this you think it might be okay for the state government to enforce a dress code?
Getting rid of gender politics right for now, why is the government allowed to enforce how I dress? Could they require me to wear a tie? Or women to wear dresses, because isn't wearing pants cross-dressing a little?
And who decides what clothes are acceptable for what gender?
If there is no manner of dress that is unacceptable for a given gender how could one be gender non-conforming?:sneaky:
What about the nudists? Why make them wear clothes at all?
