Default Re: Queensland Removes Gender from Drivers Licences.

Funny that I just checked my licence and there is no reference to sex or gender on it at all. Didn't even know that till now

Pretty irrelevant when there is a ****ing photo, a name, DOB and address, all of which is enough to identify someone

The governments have used ploys to dup us with, the new definition of Marriage is only the tip of the ice berg and all such spiel is just a great con job.
Anyone who speaks up about such things is come down on by nazi type thugs and you become an enemy of the State if you do not conform.

This kind of garbage of the Marxist left SJW’s only works if you comply. Give them the middle finger and say “#$%^ them!”

Compliance only works if you follow the narrative.

Yeah man. This is so crap.
I used to wake up every morning and check my licence.

'M', it proudly proclaimed.
Yes.
YES. I AM MAN! I AM MIGHTY!

These gays and lefties have taken that away from me.
How about we organise some lynch mobs? They're not even human. Humans are male or female. Not something else.


Anyhow, a bit off topic, but how sad Dolly suicided after online bullying.
That should never happen.

It doesn’t surprise me at all, that those looking to push the cause of transgender etc, would use this example of a 14 year old girl committing suicide to do so. They just can’t help themselves.

The only similarity between the two is that selfish, petualant, mentally challenged members of the lbgt community and some/a lot of their supporters have the mental capacity of a young teenager, and that is being generous.

If you want to see bullying, look at the treatment those with big enough balls receive when challenging transgender ideology in public.

If you wanted to draw comparisons of online buying I guess you could have also referenced the treatment Trump has received in the past two years by leftist media outlets, irrelevant bloggers and their supporters? Won’t hold my breath but.

Damned straight. It's all about attention for clicks, views, likes and article interaction so they can provide good numbers to their advertisers.

You get good clicks by getting people in a mentally aroused and committed state. Three big ways to do that:

1. Stimulate interest with genuinely interesting and worthwhile news.
2. Stimulate positive emotions (good news!)
3. Stimulate negative emotions (make people outraged at something someone else has done)

3 is the quick cheap and dirty option.

I was hoping the perpetually offended SJWs would be left in 2017. Guess not.

Maybe for the next number plate slogan can say
QUEENSLAND: The Offended State.

On the topic plate slogans, picked up a rental today in NSW and the Vic plate says 'The education state"
What does that even mean?
I love NSW new plates. They all say NSW or New South Wales.

We used to have NSW - The Premier State, and also NSW - The First State.

Years ago Vic had "The Garden State" and more recently had "On the Move"

When one of our company cars was transferred from VIC to QLD, the smart-asses up there did a little note at the end, so it read: Victoria - On The Move - to Queensland

But trump IS quite offensive, openly sexist and homophobic as well as openly racist. Surely you could use a better example of someone being called out?

Lol thread about licenses has bought out the nazi and trump posts.

Some people seem to need a reminder of what sex they are.

Who freaking cares?

We all know it’s just a trivial stunt by the government to score a few points with part of the electorate. Gender hasn’t been listed on licences in other states for years. A police officer can look up all of your details with the licence number in seconds. The reaction is from supporters of the other side of politics. Both sides do it. Read the comments section at the bottom of any news article about something the government has done and there will be criticisms of the government. It’s just par for the course and they enjoy getting stuck into the government.

Can you provide proof of these claims?
Liberal hysteria where statements taken out of context doesn’t count.
Any white male who speaks truth and common sense against flawed liberal ideology will be branded with all of those over used ineffective labels in attempt to silence.

No doubt some or a lot of normal folk find the way pro trans activists try to silence free speech, intimidate, invoke violence against any who simply disagrees with their insistence of what they want to be is normal as opposed to what it actually is (mental illness), is offensive too.
So if a person finds someone offensive they are open to slander, bullying etc?
I guess everyone will be fair game eventually.

The reference to Trump was to point liberal hypocrisy, the only consistent trait they have.

We all know it’s a one way street with them.
