The passport page about changing your gender marker is now down.
I'm expecting trans people's passports to be a major battleground of this administration.

(FYI, that wasn't the case as of two weeks ago...interesting)
In trying to “codify” personhood at conception it defines a person’s sex as being that at conception!
EVERY human zygote is female at conception!
Trump just made all Americans females or trans males officially in the sight of the US Government!
Moron!
Many LGBT+ organizations have help and workshops helping folks change their gender marker….I’ve heard that it’s advised to not choose Gender X!
Lol, lmao even

I just applied for the earliest passport appointment or whatever I can near me, send it's early February. Hope to god it goes smoothly, but I'm not hopeful anymore.
Bruce Jenner changed HIS gender, but he's safe because s/he sucks up to trump.
The recipe for a thousand other conservative victories and idiots keep falling for it.
We need Acceptance and Love, 🚫HATE!
Diversity is a Strength, not a weakness.
Tape an “X”, “M”, “F”, on top of your gender marker.
This is all part of Trump’s diabolical plan to suppress minorities like us!
im fucked

You can say you lost your documents and order replacements. They can’t prove you didn’t.
So even if they reissue a new one and stamp the old one you still have a dupe that’s good for years.
The time to get dupes is today.
This would ensure that all transwomen who fly get fondled by the TSA.
1. State secretaries of state certify compliance
2. It says it needs to list "gender" (so the Real ID Act doesn't allow a driver's license with "Sex" and would need "Gender")
But hey law vs EO vs court vs what the jerk at your gate says 🤷

If you can get an enhanced drivers license because you live in NY, MN, MI, WA, VT, absolutely get one. It's also a passport card.
The X marker came from a lawsuit. I don't know how an executive order affects that.
We're all in limbo.
I think I remember something from history class about what can happen when large numbers of people don't like the few people in charge.
I should look that up. I remember it was interesting.
No government that's reached 10% of citizens in peaceful protest has ever survived.
It's definitely possible.
Cis people have little interest in sticking their necks out for us.
If you get a baddie, try again for a goodie, maybe.

It's a bit complicated and was a communally decided term to replace a slur, but it's really reductionist and erases the differences between tribes/nations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-spirit is a worthwhile read.
in germany you can get one with a binary marker but the law says it applies only to intersex people so you eed a doc note or like swear (lest you do a perjury) but idk that law should be changed asap to allow it for anyone bc its pretty likely that discrimination is intended
Geht hier ums Passgesetz(& indir Personenstandsgesetz) die vom SBGG verändert wurden, leider eine Verschlechterung

And the fact they no longer advertise it, doesn't mean they won't allow it.
But, I'm not a lawyer.
Now… I don’t know what to do.
Even if you can't get gender changed on federal ID/passports, nothing in this EO would seem to stop you from getting a name change order *in state court* normally
It is my first one so might be easier. My SS number is already changed over and drivers license both say I am a woman.
Really as long as I am not denied I will be fine with it
we'll figure out what to do from there
Get that done asap
I wish I could, I don’t have the money
Chose to try and get my passport gender changed

Might be better off making an appointment in person.
- Schedule an in-person appointment at a federal passport center.
- Book an international hotel room for within three days of your appointment.
- Bring it as evidence and they will process the passport same day.
YMMV
This is harming our community.
Look at the replies to a post like this — it makes people think that they can’t correct their passports right now
if you’re renew it by mail you should you should expedite it.
Here’s a video I made of a renewal by mail checklist https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD1HehYRfm3/?igsh=NGFmMWkwaTFjdmRq
Which happens via box 3 of the passport application forms.
This has been shared a lot, and people are giving up on passport corrections because of stuff like this
It’s so sad that our own community is just reposting Trump officials propaganda
This is harm
I feel like I need a vacation already.
An Internal team will scour passport records for trans people and create a list.
Letters will go out that state passports have been cancelled under 8 U.S.C. 1504 mirroring the Florida "fraud" rule📌
We've previously had issues with transphobic border police near Vancouver but they never made it to a major press story as that would kill any hope of appealing their entry denial.
Was so bad and affected so many people, a civillian employee of the VPD mentioned it to me. Eventually they were ordered to cut it out.
International airlines, bus services, cruises, etc will stop boarding US trans people to or from the USA.
Within the 100 mile "freedom free" zone, we will get law enforcement visits demanding surrender of passports, along with the threatening criminal charges or actual arrests if we refuse to surrender them.
There will be an increase in the usual nonjudicial punishment for being subhuman such as detainment and cavity searches at borders
The information is still good and useful.
It might just be experiencing a lot of traffic right now.
Sigh fingers crossed
I'm expecting Oklahoma to prevent name changes for trans people. Something in my gut says it'll happen and then I'm stuck with the dead name till I can escape.
I hope everything can get approved for you 🖤
Shouldn’t the rules of the time/form I send it supersede
Fingers crossed

From the EO:
“Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs shall present to the President proposed bill text to codify the definitions in this order.”
MAGA Congress & MAGA SCOTUS will rubber stamp it all.
How deep are they gonna dig on people? And if they’ll do it to me, won’t they have to do it to everyone, including cis people? Feels like a looming red tape morass.
This is part of a strategy to make it difficult to live as a trans person. They are telling us "We will out you. We will subject you to abuse and violence if you transition."
Until I can renounce my American citizenship.
Sending off m’birth certificate had me on edge for weeks.
Heh.
