I can already see this bullshit being used to keep Trans folks from using anything, too, or trying to take them to court for “fraud/deception” because IDs can’t be updated everywhere. It’s just bullshit. It was never about protecting kids— just trying to further monitor and police as many as possible.

i could see it being abused like that in so many ways. i hate it. especially after what just happened with that tea app for women.
