Hate influencer Chaya Raichik raged at the trans TikToker for finding a loophole in Ron DeSantis' ban on accurate licenses for trans people.
Daniel Villarreal at LGBTQ Nation:
Florida invalidated the driver’s license of a nonbinary transgender TikTok user who claimed that they changed the gender marker on the document even though the state has laws forbidding it. James Rose, who goes by @jamesissmiling on TikTok and uses she/they pronouns, posted a now-deleted video on the platform in which she claimed that she obtained a driving license that listed her gender as female even though she’s assigned male at birth. “My God, [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis would be screaming right now if he knew this,” Rose said in the video, according to Newsweek. “You’re not even supposed to be able to do this in this state. Here’s the loophole: listen up if you’re replacing your driver’s license, not renewing it… because you [sarcastic finger quotes] ‘lost it,’ they have to take all of your information from what they consider a primary document. A passport is considered a primary document and you can self-identify on your passport.” Rose also advised viewers to change the gender on her driver’s licenses before President-elect Donald Trump becomes president. Trump has promised to roll back trans civil rights nationwide. The anti-LGBTQ+ social media account Libs of TikTok X account, which is run by Chaya Raichik, reposted Rose’s video alongside a January 6 letter addressed to Rose from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FHSMV).
The FHSMV said the gender on the license had been “improperly changed from male to female” and, citing state law, wrote, “The term ‘sex’ in section 322.17, Florida Statutes, does not refer to a person’s internal sense of his or her gender role or identity but is determined by innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics.” The FLHSMV said it included “a valid replacement license with the proper sex identifier of male” with the letter and added that it was investigating whether Rose “knowingly made a false statement about whether you truly lost your original license” which could result in the “cancellation, suspension or revocation” of their license.
Trans TikToker James Rose, who uses she/they pronouns, found a way to exploit a glitch in Florida’s gender marker law that bans changes to a person’s gender marker. Anti LGBTQ+ extremist Chaya Raichik raised foul, and the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles ruled the change impermissible.

Drew a little fan comic for @portentous-offerings of her OCs. This has absolutely nothing to do with the actual story and was a random fantasy shoujo enemies-to-lovers AU that we talked about before. I based it off of this mini-comic: https://portentous-offerings.tumblr.com/post/180707222038/kisses-the-wip-prompt-thing
