Arkansas GOP Gov. Sarah Sanders revealed on Tuesday that her state is now going to ban the use of “X” on driver’s licenses, going on to say that identification cards must also identify the person as being either male or female. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sounds of transgenders all over Arkansas screaming in abject horror at the state not supporting their delusions. Let’s hope other states in the Union are paying attention and follow suit. It’s time to end the madness that is corrupting out culture.
“Sanders’ office announced that the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) would rescind previous administrative procedures that allowed people to use an “X” designation instead of male or female on state-issued IDs. The ID must now align with the gender on the birth certificate of the resident,” the Daily Wire reported.
“This policy is just common sense,” Sanders said during a conversation with The Daily Wire. “Only women give birth, men shouldn’t play women’s sports, and there are only two genders. As long as I’m Governor, Arkansas state government will not endorse nonsense.”
Current Arkansas residents who have “X” on their IDs can continue to use them as they will be valid until they expire, then must be updated with either male or female. The new policy requires the gender marker to be in compliance with a person’s original or amended birth certificate.
The policy allowing the use of X on IDs first rolled out in 2010, was flagged for DFA Secretary Jim Hudson after he began reviewing department policies in August 2023. Hudson said that the new policy was made in conjunction with Arkansas law.
“This change announced today reflects a commonsense approach that ensures a license or ID issued by the State of Arkansas is based on objective, verifiable information,” Hudson explained. “All of our stakeholders in law enforcement, other government agencies, caregivers, schools, and businesses depend on DFA-issued licenses and IDs to keep our communities safe and to prevent fraud. The discontinued policy is not supported by Arkansas law and was never subject to public comment and review by the Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC), as required by the Administrative Procedures Act.”
The DFA is set to turn in an emergency rule to the Arkansas Legislative Council’s executive subcommittee for review on Tuesday.
“We are committed to implementing this new policy in a manner that is respectful towards all of our customers,” Hudson added.
I distinctly remember being called a “science denier” because of not supporting the COVID vaccine, don’t you? Yet we now have men who think they are women and want the rest of us to affirm their delusions and pretend like basic biology just doesn’t exist. They are the ones who are denying basic science. That’s why what Arkansas is doing is so critical. We need to push back on this insanity and stop allowing the woke mob to get away with pushing people into accepting facts about themselves that aren’t true.
We need to return our culture back to normalcy, and that means pushing sexual deviancy back into the underground where it belongs.
