I'm not sure what source you found the story on but you missed a really key line of the original document "Furthermore, misrepresenting one's gender, understood as sex, on a driver license constitutes fraud under s. 322,212, F.S., and subjects an offender to criminal and civil penalties" which reasonably backs up the claim. Also I am going to claim it IS a bad idea. The Florida law intentionally redefines biological sex to not include any phenotypical traits (i.e. what a biologist would use to determine sex) and instead goes by birth certificate as it was filled out at birth. I'm also just generally a proponent of free speech and free thought and dislike the idea of government defining your identity for you.
