Debbie Schlussel: He/She/It/Illegal: San Fran's New Gender-less ID Cards
Well, if you're Jamie Lee Curtis, you won't have any problems filling out an application for San Francisco's new ID card, starting next year.
That's because transgender activists complained that a city-issued ID (the kind usually obtained by illegal aliens when they can't get driver's licenses) would cause them problems if they had to spend time legally changing a name and "gender designation". This way, they won't be outed as a former man or woman.
And, FYI, they also did this to help illegal aliens. Open closet, open borders. Ah, now I get it:
Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who introduced the measure, says illegal immigrants will benefit most. They will be able to open bank accounts and use the card for city services such as checking out library books.
No kidding.
And if police or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities seek an illegal alien named Chris or Pat or some other gender-ambiguous name, this new genderless card will help the illegal alien elude them even more. They won't know if they seek a he or a she . . . or an it. This is San Francisco, after all.
