Have you seen some of those butch lesbians? If any city needed gender on their ID cards, it would be them.
it makes sense if there's a photo.
How does it make no sense, exactly? It's no secret that SF is a haven for TG folks.
The whole point of this decision was because of the gender "confusion" in SF.

M or F - Is it that freaking hard Morrissey?
Read article again. See where it helps "illegals" to get services rendered, just having such an ID card to begin with.
Then to point their finger at, well, any shape or form of a conservative value. Remove the concept of M/F all together.
We are "?" hear us roar.
it would never be important to have gender on an ID card. what, a transgender is going to be stopped from going in a bathroom because people aren't sure so they have to show their card?it makes sense if there's a photo.You are missing the whole point of this. Sometimes a picture only confuses the issue more (see transgenders - the main reason this was done).
Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, a conservative advocacy group, says he's concerned that use of the cards will encourage the idea that gender identity is flexible.
"It gives support to the philosophy that says gender is a social construct," Sprigg says. "I think that philosophy is harmful to society at large."
Basically, a stupid christian thinks that doing this supports the philosophy that gender is a social construct--a philosophy and worldview that DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST.

Stupid Christian? Oh I get it, conservative has a different opinion = Stupid.
The is no greater hypocrite than a bleeding heart liberal on a message board. Act as I say, not as I do!
on the other hand, taking advice from a message board ninthing who doesn't appear to know what he's doing 99% of the time is equally a bad idea
In conclusion, California is juvenile in its need for approval.

I dunno, I think California's desire to be progressive is a positive trait, although such a trait is doomed to misfire a good percentage of the time. That said, I don't live in CA, so I really can't fairly judge the trait.
who's approval etiolate? I honestly don't see what gender being on the identity card would help. maybe at hospitals for newborn babies it would make sense but it's not like it's going to be important for anybody once you're an adult.
I would kiss you FoC, but not without a gander at your gender card.
