Attacking every day law abiding citizens and supporting the release of hundreds of criminals who beat and killed officers protecting them in our Capitol. What a scumbag.
Supposedly the plan is they are to be detained upon re-entry to the US and have their passports revoked, or en lieu of being used for travel, the state department will force them to revert to their original gender markers upon their next renewal.
Just wanted to pipe in and say, according to news sources right now, passports with "X" will be valid until they expire. Renewals and new applications with "X" will not be allowed.
Still terrible of course, but not actively threatening detainment.
I did see that. My now 18 year old renewed about a year ago, so it's valid throughout this administration. Still unlikely to risk much, too much uncertainty.
I appreciate the words of hope as we all try to figure this out.
Unfortunately I've got X on my passport and an international trip planned in the spring. Really hoping they don't start detaining people!
Best of luck to you and your child.
What about “ intersex," which describes individuals born with sex characteristics that do not fit typical binary definitions of male or female. Intersex conditions are rare and involve variations in chromosomes, gonads, or genitals.
If they want to travel internationally, it sounds like they will be forced to change their passport. The intersex case was decided by the courts. Biden just allowed for this since 2022.
My kid is NB, and we updated their passport last year to match their license with X designation.
But they are not allowing updates right now, as far as latest news....yet there's rumors that enby pl could be detained upon re-entry. That is heinous if true.
My husband suspects that folks with an X designation might be grandfathered in. That might be wishful thinking, but it's probably not a huge number? But certainly there is now a risk for international travel.
The sheers that Elon Musk got while doing the Sieg Heil salute make me think that a lot of Americans don’t hate Nazism, and instead knowingly voted them in.
Here's a question: my daughter has her valid state issued ID and her Social Security card as well as her birth certificate that all reflect her gender as female.
Is she safe to receive her passport? How far do they go to determine "birth" gender/ sex assignment?
Well, except they’re apparently not issuing X anymore at all. If that’s someone’s legal gender on their birth certificate and state ID, what’s the passport agency going to do?
Oh, I was responding to your comment that they’re going by birth certificate, not the OP’s situation where yes, they should issue her a F passport. How does “they do what the birth certificate says” work for people with X legal gender if they won’t issue X any longer?
While the F marker will obviously be painfully dysphoric for a lot of people, I’m also laughing regarding some of my friends and family who currently hold X passports walking up to border patrol with jacked arms and a full beard handing over the F passport like “hey this is what 🍊 said to give me.”
That's my question. Assigned male at birth but everything was changed to her gender identity awhile ago in a remarkably smooth process, esp considering we live in the South.
Do they do a historical research on records? Do they squint at the photo for characteristics that "look like" another gender?
How does this help the economy? How does it make anyone in America safer? How does it help anyone?
It doesn’t. It is cruelty for the sake of cruelty. It benefits no one but I guess a brief dopamine hit for bigots? Is that the new standard for government policy? (Sadly, yes)
He has no spine. He’s taken so much crap and experienced utter humiliation to get to this role where …he acts like Trump’s little puppet. @marcorubio.bsky.social how’s it feel to be controlled by that hateful, grifting loser? It’s pretty sad to watch but you are just “following orders” right?
