Flippanarchy
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

The license already has a picture. Neither sex nor gender provide any value in identification, and have lead to misidentification of cis people too.
I think its less a data point they want for checking id (although I did know a dude who got busted trying to use his sister's ID while underage. She had short hair and a gender neutral name, but he had a mustache. Otherwise he looked plausibly like the photo, but there was that pesky F on the liscence.)
I think its more a matter of having it as a search criteria for narrowing database searches. Which logically should make it more useful as a 'gender presentation': M/F/other.
Got surveilance tape of a clearly masculine perp? 5'8, caucasian, blond hair, dark beard? You dont want your search clogged up with all the AMAB, who dont match the photo because they've transitioned, and missing all the AFABs whove started HRT and now have/ could have a beard.
I know plenty of girls with full beards. And plenty of guys who can't grow them. It's not common, sure, but a female perp could just get a fake beard if we go by the gender presentation on a license.
I stand by my statement.
