And are you aware of what they are doing to the soil?

No surprise. Those DMV folks hate it when you switch lanes radically.

DNRTFT, and thus am hoping these have been covered already:

(1) Why in the fark was he allowed to resign instead of being fired? Along, of course, with his boss, his boss's boss and his boss's's boss's boss. An example needs to be set here.

(2) Prison is too good for him. An example needs to be set here.

(3) Hope the DMV gets sued into the ground. An example needs to be set here.

I can't imagine dealing with something like that. I am repulsed by the thought that an organization entrusted with personal data demanded by law wasn't more extreme in response to that trust being so horribly abused. We all should be.

silverblues: Phaid: pvrhye: When they say transgendered woman I wish I knew the syntax. Is it a man, surgically mangled into female shape, or a woman surgically mangled into male shape? I have sympathies as to why they do it, but 100 years from now we're gonna look at this process like bloodletting or leeches or something.

It makes about as much sense as giving weight-loss pills to anorexics. These people don't need "reassignment surgery", they need psychological help.

Many people who have gender reassignment were born with intersexed or with ambiguous genitals and their parents chose wrong.


Yeah, there's some grey area out there. I remember hearing about a german pop singer a while back that was on hormone treatments before puberty hit, so physically speaking, we now have a person with male primary sexual development and female secondary sexual development. Confusing as hell. I wouldn't say he changed gender so much as forfeited it.

sendtodave: Most mammals have one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

Genital formation is heavily influenced by the in utero hormonal environment. All fetuses start out at the same place but diverge to form different genetalia. Incomplete divergence isn't a function of the sex chromosomes but hormones.

But thanks for the high school biology lesson.

I swear I've seen some Farker's profile pic that looks just like this person. Anyone know who I'm talking about? It's a dude that dresses up like a girl.....the pic I'm thinking of has him(her) in long pig tails and a black/white top.

Also, is it just me or does that person look like a cross between the red headed Weasley kid on Harry Potter and Ray Manzereck of the Doors fame?

We're coming for you. Smile and nod, biatches.

There's a difference between being generally offended, and having a DMV worker send you a letter condemning you to hell and calling you Immoral. Christians across the country abuse people like that all the time, be they homosexuals, atheists, what have you. They act as if it give them the right to be total dickfaces. I'm happy to see at least one case of it coming back to bite them.

log_jammin: bobbette: It doesn't look like she's had visible surgery yet to me (facial or boobs.)

time for my ignorant question of the day...

Is facial surgery "standard" in these cases or just a matter of preference? I always just assumed they tinkered with the plumbing and stuff and usually left it at that.


They don't always change the sex organs, but sometimes they do. But in many cases that I've seen ( different story for a different time) usually, they take hormones and that sort of shapes their features to be more masculine/feminine.

I knew someone going through the transition from female to male. They started taking testosterone, and had to go through a second puberty, pretty much. Acne, voice cracking, the whole nine yards. I'm not so sure if getting a sex change is worth going through puberty again.

Honestly I don't think either of them are unattractive overmuch. If you try to evaluate them by gender-specific standards of one type or another, sure, there are some notable issues. But in general terms - symmetry, good health, skin, hair, etc? Not doing too shabby.

Yeah, but I doubt he'd have won any damages. I'm pretty sure that kind of behavior is a totally legitimate fireable offense in a job where you are supposed to work with the public.

1. I think that this issue is that you can't not allow someone to resign. If they resign then that is it, and the DMVs investigation probably wasn't done. Also, resignation is a big part of the reason why he won't receive benefits, which is a big part of why companies ask disgraced executives to resign, so they don't have to pay their severance or unemployment.

2. Really? Capital punishment for a guy who set a pamphlet? At most this will be a fine.

3. The DMV shouldn't get in trouble here. The guy clearly did this of his own accord and did it against DMV policy.

Why do people think that one's employer has complete control over their employee's actions and thus full responsibility? Unless this persons boss, his boss's boss and/or his boss's boss's boss was aware of his action and failed to stop it how would you propose it be monitored and/or controlled? It sounds like this was the work of a single individual unsanctioned by the employer. What will firing the chain of command accomplish? How should ALL employers react if this is meant to send a message?

Prison is too good for him. Isn't this an issue of freedom of speech? Nothing says you have to approve of, agree with or find the content non-offensive. The individual still has the right to utter it. The misuse of personally identifiable information may be a crime but the content of the message may not be.

The DMV needs to be sued for this? If that is the case then shouldn't the courts also outline what the expectations are? This is merely a case of looking for the deep pocket. If the existing procedures and controls are deemed adequate why should the DMV be held liable for abhorrent actions of the individual?

What would you propose all employers do going forward to minimize the risk of this type of thing reoccurring? How Orwellian do we need to get?
