        According to the article, he asked to see her ID. Which is more than fucked up enough already.

        The problem is in the demand itself

            This was informative, and unexpectedly candid. I guess I understand downvotes as an expression of disapproval of the act of making fake IDs but if it was legal at the time to make them, then only the ethical argument remains and that’s moot if it’s illegal now.

            I feel smartened

                Because the state is the source of morality and so anything that undermines the state’s purity and control is necessarily immoral. Of course we don’t believe this consciously, but on an emotional level, nearly all of us have some of this bias.

          I think someone at a hotel is more likely to be carrying fake genitalia.

          You’d be surprise many fake ids get carried at hotels.

          But not usually for proving one’s gender.
