    Oh please. You know what you’re doing right now and you know what the purpose of this law is.

    The use of the word “sex” on identification cards predates our more recent understanding of the words “sex” and “gender.”

    The acceptance of trans folks never hinged on the definitions of those words. It’s a useful framework to begin understanding the difference between the social aspects of your sex (gender) versus the biological aspects of your sex.

    It’s a common mistake of the left to fall into the trap of debating this point like it actually matters to conservatives. There isn’t a conservative on the planet who gives a shit about the difference or who will change their feelings toward trans people depending on how those words are used.

    Don’t play coy. You know why this law exists. It has nothing to do with Webster’s dictionary.
