        I’ve been paying $8-9 for fancy organic farmer’s market eggs for years. It’s wild to me that the basic Kroger brand egg now cost that much but my fancy eggs haven’t gone up in price.

          8-9$? Holy shit, that is expensive. Here in Germany a 10 pack organic eggs is somewhere around 3€.

        Costco was about the same per dozen (business costco had 15 doz for ~$137) and they’re supposed to be cheaper because of membership fees and buying in bulk. But, hey, at least those damned trans folk are miserable! That’s all any of us ever really wanted, right?

        Oh look, another brick wall on which to bang my head until I do enough brain damage to understand the reichright.

        Yes but that’s Ralph’s. I’ve continued getting $4 eggs from Sprouts which is just their going rate. (Although their $9 pasture eggs are lit).

    That’s going to be really confusing when a fully passing trans person goes up to customs or TSA and it’s clearly wrong. Although then again my ex had her old picture still and the looks she got were pretty funny (that was decades ago, though, when this wasn’t being used as a scapegoat).

      This is going to be a problem for trans people exiting the country too. When I got to Britain a few days ago, my passport was scanned by a machine and matched with video of my face inside the booth with the machine. I have a feeling that the machines will have issues if the passport photo shows them presenting as a different gender.

        Glad you made it, squid! I can tell you there’s nothing to fear with those eGates, as they check the photo, not your gender.

        Regardless, it seems like you got out at the right time.

          I get that they check the photo, I’m saying that if they’re not going to allow you to express your real gender in a passport, they’re almost certainly not going to allow you to express it in your passport photo.

            The scanners check around ~100 data points like

            Distance between the eyes

            Width of the nose

            Depth of the eye sockets

            Shape of the cheekbones

            Length of the jaw line

            presumably with a bunch of failsafes and a tolerance threshold for acceptability. Something like facial hair, makeup, glasses, haircut won’t even blip it.

    The Publix by my house is completely out of eggs what are these fucking morons doing. Every cabinet member needs to be tending to a hen farm.

      I’m just picturing them all standing around trying to encourage the chickens to lay more eggs.

    How will this actually be enforced though? Some states allow changes to birth certificates. I doubt they are going to start doing genital exams or asking people for doctors forms. Seems the only viable option would be to add it to the affirmation you do when getting a passport, “Do you swear you were born with a penis?” Which means someone who might lie could have punishment.

    GOP doing what they do best, attacking the marginalized because they are scared and can’t fathom that their box doesn’t fit everyone.

    Is this not just full on discrimination? Trans people pay taxes too. They fund these dirt bags checks.
