So sad that your editor had to use the word 'tweak' in the headline. It isn't just a tweak; its a stumbling block in a transgender person's whole life. Every time they write a check, provide ID to a police officer, visit a physician or ER, sign a form, the gender marker raises a question - especially if as a result of a police check.

It may be a small administrative change, but to a transgender person it is so much more.

It won't allow for something other than M or F? Making those who are third gender or gender queer or otherwise not binary only means picking another non-fit. No gain for us.

I'm sure there are plenty of white supremacists who are plenty upset that the state of Oregon observes Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but no rational person, and especially, I hope, no rational state employee is going to lend much credence to their words. The exact same level of skepticism should be applied when it comes to Gender Identity Watch and trans issues. The Southern Poverty Law Center has said they would list them as a hate group if only they were more of a group.
Frankly I think the article would have been better served if it quoted what some random half-wit from 4chan thought about the issue instead.

I think it's interesting that David House is a "spokesman" while Melissa Navas is a "spokesperson."

Quibbling over a label that should be considered moot if it's reduced to the societal construct proponents of the ambiguous business of gender identification use to leverage their arguments? When it comes to identifying documentation, shouldn't it accurately reflect one's biology and not however one may feel about oneself? This strikes me as little more than throwing a tantrum because one wasn't called up to the podium by nickname to make a valedictorian speech.
