How did you get them to use a photo of Tim Minchin on your license (sic)?
You rebel scum.
Ah, but in Pennsylvania they obviously care nothing about the Bible, which says, âNo makeup for boys, for it is an abomination unto the LORD.â (Neuteronomy 14:2)
That was pretty conservative as makeup goes. How would they react to a girl who showed up in heavy eye makeup that hid her facial features?
Reminds me of the guy who waited for hours to get his license. When he saw the picture he complained. âI waited around all morning for this, and now I look all grumpy in the picture.â Said the DMV staff âI wouldnât worry about that, sir. When you get pulled over, thatâs what youâre going to look like.â
When Culpepper removed his makeup, wasnât that âmisrepresent[ing] his or her identityâ?
My like was for âThis is supposed to be the one branch of government properly trained in not giving a fuck.â Here in Ontario, their objection would have been to the smile. I was told to adopt a neutral expression. I think I did pretty good, but if I ever take up method acting, Iâm not sure Iâd be able to draw on that experience to act âneutralâ.
Parks said that the staff at the DMV acted in accordance to policy. She said that Culpepper will not be allowed to take his photo with makeup because he needs to look like a male, as indicated on his legal identification.
When did the DMV develop a set of guidelines for gender expression? I know several women who cut their hair very short. I guess if they want to get a South Carolina driverâs license theyâll need to put on a wig.
If thatâs what heâll look like if he gets pulled over, thatâs what he should look like on the licence. Minus the smile, possibly.
Also: Rob, youâll always be Class: A in my book.
That is one brave young person. I am reminded how easy have I have it compared to so many others.
Happy early birthday, because I wonât remember in 2 weeks.
Do they demand that women wear make-up so that they âlook the way a girl shouldâ?
I wanna know how you managed to convince them to let you rock the slit-pupil contact lenses on your DL mugshot.
Iâm pretty sure there are laws or at the very least guidelines about obscuring your features. I know Iâve been asked to take off my hat for the photo. If you showed up in some 80s glam-rock Boy George/Ziggy Stardust, your awesome license could probably not be taken regardless of gender.
If the included photo is Culpepper with makeup, I dare suggest he wouldnât look much different without. Thatâs some might fine ânaturalâ make-up work, there. Better than this female can do for certain.
That and include part of the shirt but cut off the top of the head.
Nice try at concern trolling, but the individual denied their license photo was not presenting glam-rock, and, in fact folks recognized as female by DMV staff are permitted to wear even more extreme make-up.
A few months from now, thereâll be a news item about this person getting hassled by cops â or a judge â for wearing make-up, and theyâll claim it was because it made the person look so different from the photo on their license.
Apparently âRobâ believes that his real first name name is private, and Pittsburgh is a shameful place to live
Lol I just couldnât be bothered to do fancy angled redactions
It says Robin, doesnât it?
