University of California, Los Angeles research institute has issued a report suggesting that voter ID laws discriminate against transgender voters.
The report released by the Williams Institute—a research institute at the UCLA School of Law that focuses largely on the LGBT community and “the impact of law and policy on their health and well-being”—identifies eight states with “strict voter ID laws” that could potentially disenfranchise people whose government-issued identification does not accurately reflect their chosen gender.
The institute asserts that voter ID laws could prevent at least 78,000 transgender individuals from voting in the 2018 elections because “transgender people who have transitioned often face substantial challenges to obtaining accurate identification” that “accurately reflects their gender.”
The authors of the report contend that the process of obtaining an accurate ID after gender transition “can be difficult and expensive,” and therefore “strict” voter ID laws—or “laws that require voters provide a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, U.S. passport or military ID, in order to vote at the polls”—cause transgender individuals to “face barriers to voting and possible disenfranchisement.”
The report calls out eight specific states with “strict” photo ID requirements: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Seven of these states offer free IDs to residents for voting purposes, but Virginia residents must purchase an identification card for between $10 and $16 in order to cast a ballot.

Well of course it does. The only way the LGBT agenda is advanced is through the declaration of oppression. That way, when they persecute their “oppressors” they are able to claim that they are protecting the rights of vulnerable persons. Its a way of cloaking aggression in a type of moral nobility. And its bullet proof because opposing them, by definition, one is labeled an oppressor and everyone falls all over themselves to signal their superior virtue by out doing everyone else in endorsing ever more perverted ideas and behaviors. The greater the perversion tolerated, the more virtuous the tolerator. Its why pedophilia will be as accepted in my kids lifetime as homosexuality is right now.
Your last sentence is key. You got it: the endgame in all this is the lowering of the age of consent so that adults can legally have relations with children. Especially homosexual relations. Pedophilia will be considered a sexual orientation, naturally occurring, non-pathological, protected by law, part of human dignity, part of God’s design, and then predatory adults will be unleashed on children. Look at what the Pennsylvania report said about how priests told children that their relations were a special form of love and that God wanted it that way… can people not see the writing on the wall? Do people not understand how these people think and act and manipulate kids and society?
The LGBT “rainbow” (six colors) has been used to fool children into thinking that God’s rainbow (seven colors) represent the same things when in reality they represent opposing views. Let your children know the difference.
Michael O’Brien (studiObrien website), a Catholic author and artist wrote a good book on how children’s stories have been changed to make bad symbols and characters appear good and vice versa. The book is “A Landscape with Dragons.” I highly recommend it and the articles on his website.
Just another example of what happens when people refuse to accept the gender God gave them. Asking for ID is not discrimination. Those who cannot provide it for whatever reason are properly denied a variety of goods and services. Yes, there are rules, even for those with gender dysphoria.
By the way, regrettably, California does not have Voter ID and fraud can and does happen.
The delusion of choosing your gender is insanity. Enacting laws to pander to mental illness is insane!
Universities have gone crazy. The left is looney. Biological sex is fixed and unalterable. No such thing as a transgender person.
Short, perfect and to the point.
Does the study present evidence of transgender persons who have attempted to obtain revised identification and state authorities refused to issue that identification? As I read the article, it presents only hypotheticals. It does not say ‘we studied X transgender individuals and P percent were refused revised identification.”
There is a great article written by FRC writers called “The Killer Side Effects of Trans Treatment.” In a study of 5000 people, men who were trying to become women were 80 to 90 per cent more likely to have a stroke or heart attack and a higher risk of blood clots from the estrogen they are given. The article says that one of the doctors, Dr. Darios Getahun, was on NBC News, and that Kaiser Health warns that pumping your body full of hormones is just devastating physically.
God created only two genders male and female. End of story. Brothers and sisters in Christ turn to a God of love and mercy before it is too late. Can you not see the signs of the times all around us? Jesus Christ King of Kings Lord of Lords True God and True Man is coming back soon like a thief in the night. Repent and convert! Pray America Pray. Pray Pray Pray!
Well Duh – Given that the entire Tranny Fetish Freak Show is a Fraud, it doesn’t take more than an outraged demi-krat politico (no shortage there) to announce this the next wave of un-civil rights – and all who align themselves with reality have ‘Ism-Obia’
Author Theodore Dalrymple observed: ‘the purpose of political correctness is not to educate or enlighten, but to Humiliate – and thus the less it corresponds to reality the better’ – For the GILBERT Gaystapo Thought Police that is
