Topless Transsexual Served 23 Days in Jail

It really caused me great consternation when I heard the story of Andrea Jones on WATE channel 6 last night. Jones had visited her local Tennessee driver's license office to attempt to have the gender marker on her driver's license changed from "M" to "F".

Of course, she was refused.

The rules regarding change of gender marker are dictated by the Tennessee Department of Safety. They will change the sex on a license "if an applicant presents a doctor's statement indicating that a full sex change has occurred and the procedure is complete."

This overlooks the fact that many transsexuals do not have sex reassignment surgery (SRS).

If the state considers her a man, she should be able to walk around bare-chested unless the state has laws against it.  Guys don't have to wear shirts in my state, and I've seen guys with moobs walking around and nobody complains.

I fail to see why she was arrested.
