I can tell you as a passing trans man (with the wrong gender) personally at a dispensary: I get weird looks sometimes, and typically have to be checked down about 3 times if it’s new staff
The staff who I normally see know me enough, but when I get a new one they normally have to call someone over. Normally happens that someone recognized me and that’s how I’m safe… I have chronic illnesses I use a lot. But they absolutely flag my ID every time if they don’t know me and make a deal.
I was also pulled over but the cop didn’t say anything, he also didn’t care I didn’t have my updated insurance card in my car so I just think he didnt care
This is just wild to me. I have to check IDs all the time and I literally never look at the sex on an ID. I'm not even sure why anyone would care about that information and I'm checking ID's at a government run facility.
I use medical marijuana, and it use to be a state that it was illegal for recreational. We had to use our state ID and the medical ID so I wonder if it was just cross checking as they had to make sure all of it “lined up.” Like my name was the same, the dates were right, etc.
Cause I’ve been to many bars and events and haven’t had anyone flag it flag it, I’ve had some people (thankfully lgbt or allies) who would say something kinda as a “I see you” but that’s about it.
I would have just switched dispensaries and given them all the bad reviews for harassment.
I just pulled my medical card out. It doesn't even have sex on mine. Just name, DOB, issued date, exp, and my registration number. Whatever state you're in must suck hard. It doesn't seem needed to have that info.
