Yeah that makes sense. That seems like a totally logical thing to decide.

    GOP wants to oppress everyone.

    Close, the GOP and evangelical Christianity want to control reality. So that nothing can potentially threaten their precious and absurd world view

    If there’s one thing we know about reality, it’s that absolutely nothing ever changes and there’s absolutely no way rigid rules ever end up doing great unintended harm even beyond the intentional harm /S

    Thus making gender markers useless as they no longer reflect reality, like if you were stuck with the address assigned at birth. Might as well get rid of the concept altogether.

    You're telling me they're making the best solution the only legally viable fix? This is terrific.

    Less than 1% of people living there would even consider changing their marker on their documents. There are probably more clerical errors that happen than Trans folk who need their marker change.

    Is Oklahoma fucking stupid?

    Yes. They're ranked amongst the lowest in public education throughout the entirety of the US.

    which is really saying something, because education is incredibly terrible throughout the entirety of the US.

    It might not be a stretch to say they are among the lowest in Western countries, perhaps even the world.

    Now I'm curious who the lowest is. You'd have to define what "Western" is, quantify some ratings, and other static statistical definitions. I bet it's Canada.

    Oh wait, no, we have the south. Shit.

    Yeah, it might be the US. I guess it depends on how the rankings work, when, and what countries are included.

    Might be important to make a wealth:edu ratio. We're DEFINITELY lowest in that regard. I'd put money on that. Probably lowest or very close to lowest in anything wealth:outcome.

    IT work is clerical work (this is why we call them tech priests, because they're clerics)

    A hacked server that changes every gender in Oklahoma to "CookedAF" is a problem caused by bad clerics, (the aforementioned tech priests), making it a clerical error.

    Checkmate "supreme" court.

    Have whatever opinion on the whole trans issue, making clerical errors permanent is ridiculous.

    I moved to the shithole that is Missouri from Oklahoma and it’s still just levels better than living in OK. What a fucking mess that’s going to create. How about they do something about grda pumping out cancer to their citizens

    Assigned Misspelled At Birth

    I have an incorrect birth certificate and a later-issued corrected birth certificate. By their logic, they want my biological sex and assigned gender to be opposite of each other, I guess? 🤷

    Yes. They want to be able to question the authenticity of your documents… for voting, licensing, healthcare, etc. The more people they can prevent from participating in society - the easier it’ll be for them to cannibalize it.

    They’re (in the US, Republicans) trying to do similar to married women - who have changed their names - to disenfranchise them, also.
