Oregon becomes first state to allow gender-neutral licenses

Enfuego · Jul 5, 2017

SALEM, Ore. – Oregon has become the first state in the U.S. to allow residents who don't identify as male or female to mark their gender as "not specified" when they apply for a driver's license, learner's permit or identity card.

The rule went into effect Monday. It comes after the mayor of Washington, D.C., said the district was the first jurisdiction to offer the option late last month.

Oregon's Driver and Motor Vehicle Services said the new rule emerged after a judge last year allowed a Portland resident to legally change to "non-binary" gender.

The DMV said it studied state laws, updated computer systems, worked with law enforcement and the courts, and changed administrative rules to comply with the court order.

California lawmakers also are considering adding a third gender option on state IDs.

How do you not identify with a gender? You either have a schlong or you don't right?

that's my theory, and liberals like to say conservatives hate science (of course, they say we hate everything, but that's nothing but their need for simpleton bullshit and that's another story)

If you happen to be an androgynous it can be tricky.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter to living a happy, productive life

Count me as one who couldn't care less how you wish to describe yourself. It's frankly none of my business.

But wouldnt it be your business when they force you do identify a man as a woman or vice-versa... or forcing private businesses to either cater to their "Identity" or go out of business... instead of finding another business to cater to them.

Well, yes and no. It becomes our business when things in government agencies have to change to accommodate these people thus costing the taxpayer money.

A person is biologically born as a male or female. If they decide to identify as a kangaroo that is their issue. The rest of society should identify them by their biological birth. Period. Why is there even any discussion here?

Respectfully, I am unable to decipher your question

If that is a concern for you then yes, make it your business to impede such policy moves anywhere you feel it important.

But I am betting you have 100+ more important areas in your life more worthy of your attention

Don't let the Little Things unduly distract you from what you personally perceive as Bigger Things

Well it would appear the citizens of Oregon - via their elected officials - have deemed it worthy of discussion in their state. I am about as far away, both geographically and socially from Oregon as one can get within the USA, so for me personally it's kinda just another entry in the daily Weird News flow

M = Male
F = Female
N = Neutral
K = Kangaroo

I don't care what one considers himself to be, I don't care what their sexual preferences are either

But I do have a problem with penises hanging in girls' locker rooms, and that's what the real fucking idiots espouse for us all under the guise of not making some fractional minority uncomfortable

Yet the don't give a fuck about the vast majority, you just can't make this shit up

Any time our government wastes money, it's worthy of all our attention.
