Ok? Preferential changes cost money. What's the issue?

Preferential? As long as my ID says female I'm required to use the women's restroom. Do you know how people react when they see a fully bearded man in the women's restroom?

It's not preference, it's for my own safety.

Why does it literally cost over $100 to change two lines on a piece of paper? Literally, why put such a ridiculously inflated price on a government service?
