This is purely the result of religious fanaticism. It is none of their business who wants to be trans or not.
Let people keep their damn driver's licenses. This is petty harrassment, but clearly these jerks don't want trans people to even exist.

Wendy Faith and Alesi Diana Denise were caught kissing in public.
They could face life in prison.
The "Reverend" Scott Lively, of the U.S., is indirectly responsible for this. He traveled to Uganda and preached so much homophobia that they passed laws which make homosexuality an arrestable crime. Some individuals may even face the death penalty. That's not the case this time, but still, an arrest followed by a possible life sentence is an incredible offense against human rights.
