Should changing gender be easy?

The Context

If you live in Nevada and want to change your gender, you’re in luck—it’s easy!

Applicants for a Nevada driver’s license are free to select M (male), F (female), or X (nonbinary) on the driver’s license application form, regardless of how their gender is listed on any other legal documents.

So, even if your birth certificate says you’re a male, there’s nothing stopping you from listing female on your Nevada driver’s license.

[…] if you can change legal gender super easily, and as many times as you want, what does that mean for women’s and men’s bathrooms?

And if you change your mind? No problem. You can change your gender on a Nevada driver’s license as many times as you want.

What if you want your birth certificate to reflect your gender identity, too?

For just $40, Nevada Vital Records will issue a new birth certificate with your chosen gender of male, female, or nonbinary (“X”) upon the receipt of two affidavits affirming your gender identity:

Affidavit #1 – from the individual, their parent or guardian, or legal representative, stating the gender that should be on the birth certificate and why.

Affidavit #2 – from anyone who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s gender identity and the gender the applicant intends to maintain.

The Campaign

We can’t help but wonder…should changing your legal gender really be that easy?

Think about it: if you can change legal gender super easily, and as many times as you want, what does that mean for women’s and men’s bathrooms? Or locker rooms at the gym? Or sports?

With other U.S. states considering similar bureaucratic processes for gender change, Halcyon wants to know what YOU think about the question of gender identity.

Our hope is that the results of this survey provide insight into what real people think about gender and help to inform a thoughtful, continued dialogue about gender in the U.S.

Here at The Halcyon Movement, we believe humanity already has the recipe for building a moral and virtuous society, but that prolific messaging rooted in harmful ideologies and ignorance often gets in the way.

So, we asked ourselves, how can we combat this harmful messaging? How can we spread a message of truth, morality, and virtue and how can we make this message stand out?

The answer turned out to be simple enough: t-shirts.

Put a message on a t-shirt (or a hat, or a hoodie…) and everyone you meet will encounter that message.

Holy Monday was created to witness the righteous anger exemplified by Jesus Christ on Holy Monday.

And so, The Halcyon Movement’s new apparel brand, Holy Monday, was born.

About Holy Monday

Holy Monday was created to witness the righteous anger exemplified by Jesus Christ on Holy Monday, the day on which he courageously cleansed the Temple of corruption:

In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.”
– John 2:14-16

As men and women seeking a brighter future for humanity, we must be willing to renounce and expel evil as Christ did on Holy Monday.

Our apparel is designed to embolden you and the people you meet to do so.
