Currently, Drivers License matches genital configuration. Scott wants to change that, so guys with dicks have to use female rest rooms if they're trans. Because er.. um.. er… say what?

Not everyone sees a person's driver's license so the general public would not be privy to this information.

Wrong Justine. Drivers licenses are defacto ID cards. You show them to verify age when purchasing alcohol or liquor. You show them when you're clearing TSA security at airports, cashing checks, et cetera.

And every time you show an ID with a gender marker that doesn't match your name or presentation, you are being opened up to potential discrimination.

TF or TM as you suggested isn't a viable solution either. it still leaves the transperson open to discrimination.

so what's so threatening to conservatives about putting an M or F to match the persons presentation irregardless of genital configuration, or none at all?

I can see why police would want to know the gender of a citizen for ID purposes. So what's the matter with TF for transgender female or TM for transgender male? Not everyone sees a person's driver's license so the general public would not be privy to this information.
