This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

I think this is cousin to the fear of racial replacement, in a sense - some subconscious awareness of "we treat 'them' poorly" and projection of "so 'they' would treat us poorly if the situation were reversed".
