Wait, so they will let people put fake names on credit cards? If the person wants "Princess Fairy Sparkles" as their name, they COULD get it legally changed. I remember UCLA was going to allow students to put whatever non-legal name on their ID they wanted, and one young man in a wheelchair for life wanted "Lightning McQueen" (I didn't see Toy Story, I think this is a character from there? Or "Cars" or some children's movie) because he said he has four wheels and is fast or such. The young man is confined to a wheelchair for life. If ID cards can have your "preferred" name on them, he should be able to have his, right? No. He was called a bigot and all else and they said he was trying to misuse the ID self-naming that was intended for the genderspecial only.

HOW does a multijillion dollar (I mean they have so much money and debt fake-money that it only exists on a computer, not in the real world) corporation get pushed around by the trans lobby?

Just as signatures on credit card transactions have been gradually phased out over the last decade, today's embedded chip technology seems to be making the name on the card less and less important. What's key is the account number and the information contained in the chip and conveyed electronically from it.

I remember my first job as a teen and back then we had to ask for ID with a credit card or check. Every day there is something new for the genderspecial to make demands about isn't there. And they keep getting their way.

Lightning McQueen is from Cars. It's not a great movie, but that sounds pretty hilarious to me and a great nickname to adopt. I don't understand how they can accuse him of bigotry when for all they know this was his way of accepting his condition. One that brings a hell of a lot more challenges than being "trans." Quite hypocritical and unfair policy.

I found an article on it. What kind of narcissist are transgender activists to think a young man in a wheelchair coping with his condition is an attack on them?

Wow, all those students telling that guy he's not allowed to make use of a rule that wasn't set up for him. Bet those very same students never think twice about using toilets for the disabled. Or parking in handicapped spots. Or skateboarding on wheelchair ramps and handrails set up for people with mobility and balance problems. Or riding their bikes or scooters on sidewalks and pathways meant for pedestrians, strollers/prams and people who use wheelchairs and walkers. Selfish cretins, the lot of 'em.

Seriously. This had no effect on them, they just didn't like that his joke was making them less the center of attention.
