TN Couldn’t Decide Whether Andrea Jones Is Male Or Female, So They Arrested Her

A Facebook friend posted a link to this news story from queerty.com and I had to share it. This is so ridiculous. She had a gender reassignment surgery, so she is a female. End of story. If the social security office recognizes it, why wouldn't the DMV or police? Oh, right, because people let their own opinions get in the way of their jobs... or just being decent human beings.

TN Couldn’t Decide Whether Andrea Jones Is Male Or Female, So They Arrested Her

After Andrea Jones had gender reassignment surgery and was recognized as female by the Social Security office, she went into a Tennessee DMV office to change the gender on her driver’s license—but they denied her request.
So she walked out into the parking lot, removed her shirt and the police arrested her for indecent exposure, though it’s completely legal for men to go around shirtless.
Even the police report refers to Jones as a man, something she has responded to thusly: “If I was a male, I had the right to, when I stepped out the door, take off my shirt. It’s not right for the state to ask me to be both male and female. A choice needs to be made. They cannot hold me to both standards.”
She’s right. In the meanwhile she’s a female to the Social Security Administration, a male to the Department of Motor Vehicles and somewhere in between to the police.
