It's Good To See That San Fransisco Liberals Still Have Their Priorities Straight

A lot of you are probably libertarians, and you might object to the idea of a national ID on any number of grounds. I'd disagree with you, but I imagine you could make some plausible arguments.

But in the Bay area around SF, they have what must be the most important argument of all against a National ID... that an ID containing a "sex" descriptor would make life more difficult for transgendered citizens, or people who wish to change their sex at a later date.

Thanks to Secure Liberty, who also examines the tension between libertarians and conservatives within the Republican Party. A new iteration of the old debate which began, serendipidously enough, at CPAC.
