Peak Insanity: Colorado To Allow People To Identify As ‘X’ On Driver’s Licenses

Oh look! Another state caving to “progress.”

According to this, Colorado is going to start allowing people to identify as “X” on their driver’s licenses. ‘Cause you know– sometimes you’re not either of the TWO genders, even though biology says otherwise.

Colorado residents who do not identify as male or female will be allowed to choose X as the symbol to represent their gender on their driver’s licenses when an emergency rule goes into effect this month.

The change comes as state officials continue to grapple with policies that allow people who identify differently than their sex assigned at birth to alter their official documents, which LGBTQ advocates say is crucial for transgender and nonbinary peoples’ daily lives.

The Colorado Department of Revenue, which oversees the Division of Motor Vehicles, decided to make the change, effective Nov. 30, after two court cases in which judges found in favor of Colorado people attempting to change their sex on government identification.

Serious question: Are there really THAT many “nonbinary”/”gender fluid” people in Colorado to make this a necessary thing?

Just so you know, this is also leading the way for Colorado to consider adding a third gender option to birth certificates. ‘Cause sometimes, you just have to wait for your baby to decide what it wants to be, ya know?

CO wants to be twinsies with NYC, I guess.

The Colorado Board of Health will vote on proposals to add a third gender option to birth certificates and dropping the surgery requirement on Dec. 19, Alex Quintana, state registrar and director of vital records, said in an email. The changes would go into effect at the beginning of 2019 if the board votes in their favor and legislative channels approve the change, he said.

In wake of the court cases, the Division of Motor Vehicles needed to make a change to avoid a lawsuit, Hartman said.

“Someone in the community might take that step if we didn’t take proactive steps,” Hartman said.

I just can’t believe how stupid all of this is.
