BREAKING NEWS: DPS enacts policy refusing court-ordered gender marker changes, will create database of marker change requests - Dallas Voice

Stay safe, Texans. They are creating lists of "offenders". Spread the news, this is out of the fascist playbook.

Gipson then directs employees to scan into the record all “court order sex change documentation that cannot be processed” and email the requesting person’s name and driver’s license or state ID number to “DLCourtorders@dps.texas.gov,” noting on the email subject line “Sex Change Court Order.”

Uh oh, now that the email is public they're gonna have to burn that inbox after the Internet gets done sending all of their "sex change court orders" to it.

I did my part, I sent in a request to change Gregg Abbott's sex

Ooh nice. I'm going to send one in for Ken Paxton

Depending on the contents of the documentation, wouldn’t this be sending protected information over an unencrypted medium?

Maybe they have a standard best practice to encrypt all information like that, but I doubt it. Even if they did, I bet the password is something like "IHeArTkEnPaXt0n"

Come on, give them some credit. They'd pick something clever like Hunter2.

That email address looks like it needs some goatse sent to it at the terabyte scale

It would surely be a shame if the inbox got flooded with fictional characters

Wow, so like a passive-aggresive threat to enact some sort of retribution later? Fuck Texas. I hope the full weight of the courts comes down on any of the fuckers involved in this.

Paxton is super slippery. He avoids consequences for his shitty actions better than anybody I've ever seen.

Paxton is super slippery.

He's not slippery. He's just well defended by phalanxes of the worst Texas conservatives you know.

Next step might be a pink triangle on the DL or records.

E X T A S

Amazed the state hasn't just started chipping babies by now.

Texas politicians: "We care about babies' genitals"
