So I sat and read through this Chicago newspaper piece...over a local Chicago cop....in court. He is suing the city to change his race (officially) after the city police department announced it had 'found' a way to allow officers to change their gender.
The 'rest' of the story? Well....his name is Mohammad Yusuf. Yeah....although he started off as a cop....listed officially as "Caucasian." He says now....he identifies as Egyptian and African American. The position of the department? You can change gender but not race.
I looked at his picture....looks 99-percent Egyptian to me.
Where this is going? Judge will eventually ask how the police invented the 'change-gender' rule out of thin air, and why they can't invent a change-race rule out of thin air.
It is a stupid argument but if you allow this guy to change....I would imagine several hundred folks will appear in the next year and go from white to black....just to test the system.
The next issue? Age changes....where someone says they feel 16, and want to re-enter high-school.
