They could in theory apply this precedent to prosecute someone who files their taxes, applies for Medicaid, or seeks any government service or benefit with a different gender marker as engaging in material fraud and criminally charge them.

Sports is just the fucking Trojan horse for all this. They say it's about sports but then shoehorn in other policies meant to eradicate trans people from society. It's never been about fucking sports.
This is massive and serious but I am saying as one who cares take time for self care. Our best way to organize and fight is together with the best state we can be in <3
China reading this idiocy laughing at the vulnerability and market gains to be made. Operating a mom and pop shop vs a legitimately voted POTUS administration out of the White House. Ketamine and money is fun, I guess.
The logical conclusion of this policy is that all international travelers to the United States must apply in person so that they can be strip searched and have their genitalia inspected.
Rather than being oblique about chromosomes and gender markers, let’s say it aloud: penises and labias.
The question on the form should be exactly that: “When an armed agent of the United States Government forces you to take off all of your clothes, will they see a penis or a labia?”
That is very true. I guess my understanding is that in the “bathroom battles” those who ignore that trans people exist are ultimately focused on external anatomy. I wasn’t being mindful of AMAB/AFAB who’ve transitioned and are facing demagoguery starting with sports participation. Please pardon me
And banning gender affirming care for children. VCU Medical Center, state run hospital in Richmond, extended the care ban to recipients from birth to age 19. Slipped that in there to catch adults.
The 19 years old cutoff is ominous. They are moving the bar toward banning gender affirming care for adults. 18-year-olds can legally sign contracts and are legally considered adults. Banning 19-year-olds IS banning adults from GAC.
I can't believe I fought for this shit. Afghanistan tore me apart. 20 years of severe depression and suicidality for what? For this fascist bullshit and betrayal of our allies?
Banning children from receiving puberty blockers is ominous, but yes, the age range was selected to harm all trans and gnc people of any age.
Dehumanization of our most vulnerable populations will be the wedge to dehumanize other marginalized groups. It’s why cis people MUST fight for trans people
And of course, it's not about children's health since CIS kids still have access to those meds. Straight up targeting trans kids.
I'm sure Moms of Liberty will come in to protect trans kids and their parents since they insist that parents know best. What? They're not coming? Really? Huh
I was surprised how people who never cared about women’s sports suddenly made this their issue… until it became clear they still don’t care about women’s sports.
I think that is where they are going with this. Back to those antiquated cross-dressing laws, where a trans person could be arrested for living the gender they identify with.
CIS women and the LGB people need to wake up. Trans people are the canary in the coal mine of what they can get away with
It's another step in making being trans illegal. They're working on stopping all new government documentation reflecting that, and after that they'll go after the folks who had previously updated their docs. Won't be long until they're using that as a reason for ICE to round us up.

This is the way with fascism, to keep inventing new out-groups to hate until the everything goes up in flames.

There's really no one question to sum up gender or sex neatly like this.
I think the government should just stop tracking sex entirely. You can ID without that.

Trans rights are human rights.
When they dgaf about either grp. #1 cause of death of children? Gun violence.
#1 killer of women? Straight white men.
#1 cause of maternal mortality? Homicide by father
