Sorry… they say gender identity is not immutable… as in… it is mutable…… as in it can change… but you can be arrested if it does change? Fucking… what?
Imagine Henry Ford saying, “You can have any color you want as long as you want black.” and then adding, “And if you paint the car red we will shoot you!”
He would likely also add, “if you’re a Jew, please step into the traincar which will provide you safe passage to the summer camp where warm showers we have provided await.”
Generally yes, they tell people not to repaint them and if they do there’s a sternly worded letter to change it back. If you do not they won’t sell you another Ferrari. You could find someone to sell you one, but anyone who third party sells a Ferrari is also blacklisted. (Since all sales technically involve you selling it back to Ferrari, then THEY sell it to the person)
You also agree to these terms (painting, not debadging, etc) when you bought the car. There have been some examples where Ferrari even sued over “use of vehicle for malicious intent”
There’s a host of rules to agree to, some of them are pretty silly, and are in place to keep the brand “pure”. “You don’t choose a Ferrari, Ferrari chooses you”
You have to prove you can afford a Ferrari by buying 2 other cars, “Honda Accord or better”. (This guarantees you have other cars to drive if the car is damaged, and proves status via taking care of 3 cars)
They do have an approved list of colors, just that red is iconic, and they want to do the paint themselves.
You can’t sell it in the first year. And if you own a Lamborghini you will be turned down. You can’t debadge it/alter the prancing pony because they “sold it to you perfect!”
Visit the factory/attend Ferrari events. Be part of the Family. And family is modest. Don’t be a shitty influencer constantly flashing your car.
Sex is the physical sexual characteristics of your body. Such as breasts, penis or vagina. This can be altered by surgery or way more commonly, hormones which greatly alter the makeup of sex organs. It is also why people born with a mix of sexual characteristics are called intersex.
Gender is the social construct performance that we all do to interact with the world. Gender roles have changed a lot over time and culture, most easily seen by cooking being womens work and having a job being men’s. Gender can and does change a lotRedneck, goth, jock are all genders because it tells you something about how that person interacts with the world socially. There is no wrong way to be a human, you can have multiple genders and every gender is inherently valid.
Identity is who you see yourself as in the mirror. It’s sort of immposible to describe who that is, so many express it via gender, but not exclusively. Many people are happy in their gender role, but see themselves differently. This is something that can change over time, but not willingly be changed.
The state assumes everyones sex determines their gender and identity so documents use the three interchangeably and it drives me up the wall.

I’ve heard those showers are to die for.
Ferrari don’t like when you paint their cars so you’re not far from reality
If I bought it, fuck em. They (hypothetically) already have my money

Oh no, they won’t sell me another Ferrari?! What will I ever do??
That’s honestly pretty fucking wild

Gotta admit, by the end, it starts to sound like Ferrari is a cult.
Ferrari disagrees. Expensive sports cars are kind of a different story than driver’s licenses, though.
Definitely.
You’re correct to point this out.
Identity =/= Gender =/= Sex
