Please comment against the abusive policy of making Trans ppl carry passports with the wrong gender. Good language in this statement by Jamie Raskin et al: http://equality.house.gov/takano-raskin-connolly-opm-letter-14168
Here's the link to the proposed regulation & the comment form: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/14/2025-02648/30-day-notice-of-proposed-information-collection-application-for-a-us-passport

'“In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,” reads the directive from the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.'

This has strong vibes of some middle eastern countries arresting transiting trans people for impersonating the opposite sex.

That’s fine, while I may not be an athlete, i wouldn’t visit the USA anyway. For the same reason I don’t visit Saudi Arabia or Iran or the UK. It’s not because I would be arrested or something, it’s because I don’t support theocracies and apartheid states.

Seems like it's actually going farther than the headlines are suggesting, like it's saying not just athletes, but *any* trans person at all

Just a couple steps away from locking all trans people up under the notion that we’ve all committed fraud. I knew this was coming.
