      Oh, in this part of the world, it’s not a picture of the birth certificate but of their genitalia. Ignore the pedophilic over and undertones of requiring children to show their genitals to adults(read: men typically because women shouldn’t be in places of power, obvs) who can confirm that they appear to be the correct set for what is being requested. Fondling might be necessary to make sure they aren’t prosthetics.

      This is serious discussion that my state has been trying to get into law to prevent people from using “the wrong bathroom” or “gaining an advantage in sports”. Fuck I hate this timeline
