Image transcription: The caption reads “The government after making trans people pay hundreds of dollars to change two lines on a piece of paper:” This caption is followed by a gif of a guy struggling to hold large stacks of cash against his head. End transcription.

Preferential? As long as my ID says female I’m required to use the women’s restroom. Do you know how people react when they see a fully bearded man in the women’s restroom?
It’s not preference, it’s for my own safety.
Why does it literally cost over $100 to change two lines on a piece of paper? Literally, why put such a ridiculously inflated price on a government service?
because any and all barriers are effect means at preventing people from taking or doing something while still remaining legally valid.

Weirdo libertarians like you don’t understand how the world works at all, so I’m not surprised.

Ah yes, the old “I don’t wanna pay taxes for things I don’t use” argument, I guess we should just stop funding medicare/medicade because not everyone uses it, right? While we’re at it we should also get rid of all government assistance programs, since only a small portion of the population uses them, that sounds like a great idea. /s

In the case of legal documents it is for safety, go look up what happens to trans women if they’re arrested and thrown in with the men, which happens a lot. But it’s not just what the other prisoners do that’s horrific, the cops themselves preform heinous acts towards trans women. Also you’ll respond to me but not the other person who already pointed out it’s for safety?

God you’re fuckin’ dense. TRANS PEOPLE ARE TREATED LIKE SHIT BY POLICE AND PRISONERS ALIKE BECAUSE THEY’RE TRANS, not because they committed a crime. Also saying not to commit crimes ignores what the conversation was originally about and it’s the safety of a marginalized group of people, not just in the case of being arrested.

Nobody cares what you want
I guess we should take away healthcare, since that only affects individuals. Sick people should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps!
Damn right get off my taxes and pay for it yourself
What do you even think taxes are for? What services do you think they even provide for you?

Everyone has access to it. You gotta pay the refiling fee like everyone else.
