What these garbage politicians keep forgetting is that the government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people." Our Founding Fathers encouraged violent overthrow of governments not representing the people. What both the government and the masses have continued to forget is that the power is in the hands of the people who in turn grant the government permission to govern them. Instead, they believe it is the other way around where everything a person does in his or her private individual life has to be granted permission by the government. For instance, you don't need to ask for a permit to have a peaceful demonstration on a city sidewalk that is not blocking traffic that everyone pays taxes for. That is a right.
Changing sex is also a right as well. While most of us agree that transsexuals should think clearly before making permanent changes, what a person does to their body is ultimately their decision to make. Nobody should be asking government for permission to make changes to their body. When such changes are made, they should also not be asking permission for the government to treat them as the new gender by changing it on their ID. Rights are demanded and do not require explanation or requests for permission. If the government likes to play such games, then the people should play their own games and in such case, if they don't want to change the ID, then fine. Take a dark pen and write "F" over the "M" or visa versa and move on. If the cops or someone else doesn't accept it, then file suit. People need to start understanding they are citizens, not subjects. If you pay your taxes and are a citizen of the country, you get to decide how you live your life--not the government.
