Just Stumbled In...

Well what can we do to get that started? I know that the cost would be pretty easy to cover if you start off the same way student cards start out. They'd make profit selling for 5$ each.
We don't have to hire a graphics designer. I mean really just come up with some colors and ideas. Put all the pictures on a website and start off with people sending individual email requests for them.

Of course they would hold no water as legal ID. But that's not the point! The point is having something to present with/before giving other ID and having it catch the attention of authorities so that they would see how popular it is and sign into the distribution and control.

I think I'll check out the cost of making them, if anyone wants to send me a design for it then by all means.

I think an annual card would be the best idea. A new card every year, like a student card. With a picture and a big 2007 on it, new color every year or new theme. Have the option of profits going to a charity, and have the charity on the card like having the background as a huge ribbon of the color of your charity or their logo, or have a regular theme picked out that year.
On the card it would have your chosen name (if you go by a name other than your legal name) and maybe no gender marker. If someone likes they can put Ms. Diana Black or just Joe Smith. If the chosen name is different than the real name put a * next to that so that financial institutions aren't fraud by a "fake" name and know to research the name on the file.
The file would display the "facts" according to the government, only to be brought up by those who have "access" and that would be done only by professionals with legal confidentiality obligations such as doctors and financial institutions. Of course, this when it starts to hold water.

Oh so many ideas but I have a two year old telling me she's hungry and it is lunch time!

Oh about the chromosomes thing, It's not perfect. but it IS a step in the right direction. At least their government is acknowledging the need for change even if they are not satisfying it correctly. It's progress. Let's fight for more.
