In another extreme act of targeting transgender individuals, a new bill was has been introduced in Florida to end all legal recognition of transgender people and mandate mass biological sex affidavits for both transgender and cisgender Floridians. These affidavits would be necessary at the DMV for license renewals, enabling the state to gather records of the biological sex of all individuals in Florida who apply for driver’s licenses. The affidavits could allow the state to compile lists of transgender people with Florida driver’s licenses. They could then be used to enforce other anti-trans laws in the state. Additionally, the bill would impact every law in Florida that references sex. LGBTQ+ activists say this is the most regressive anti-trans legislation in American history.
