There are already attempts to make it so your name has to match your birth certificate in order to vote.
Targets both trans rights and women's rights, simultaneously.
Oh, great. So it's also another regressive push towards recreating the mysognist shithole decades where married women were treated as the property of their husbands. What's next, giving married men in heterosexual relationships two votes?
That, and then probably back to not allowing women to own bank accounts.
I'm not american but how exactly is making your name match birth certificate denying women's rights?
It's common for women to undergo a name change when marrying
In the US it is common for women to legally change their their last name to their Husband's last name when they get married. Having eligibility to vote tied to your name matching your name at birth would make these women unable to vote.
Normally when you get married the woman changes her last name to match her husband. So this rule would make married women unable to vote.
Oohh ohh ohh i see
Nope, women are safe It's the homosexuals & Transgenders they're after
The Conservatives made it abundantly clear
