I grew up in Canada as a landed immigrant from the US. I never bothered to do anything about my citizenship, because it was never a problem being a US citizen before. I had thoughts when tRUMP was first elected, but when I saw he was running again, I finalized my Canadian citizenship.
Sadly, the black community has taken the beatings,arrests and abuse for EVERYONE else. We turn around…AND NO ONE IS THERE EXCEPT US. Our ancestors have given ENOUGH for this country only to be left to defend THEMSELVES. WE refuse to make those mistakes currently. We know where we stand SADLY.
I’m sorry. There has never been a time that I have ignored what has happened. I’m sure I failed every group on some level. But I can promise you this: I have never cast my vote for a person that I believed would make things worse for my brothers & sisters of color. For people in the LGBTQ community
I’m more concerned about my 4 grandchildren. Hubby and I will be gone. They will be left with the shitshow that MAGA has forced upon us. Yet being black children, they will suffer the EXACT SAME FATE as my great grandmother fought against. I’m just exhausted. Votes are STILL being taken away. 🤦🏽♀️
I’ve watched my friends trying to teach their children, especially their black sons, how to deal with a police stop so that they can hopefully walk away from it. It breaks my heart that anyone has to fear that. This country could be so great. But it won’t be with people like we have in charge now.
I understand that part. I’m old. Most of this won’t affect me for long. But I have a teenage daughter. I cannot believe she will enter adulthood as a woman with fewer rights than I had. How is that possible?
I don’t blame everyone. Im just sick and tired of EVERY OTHER GROUP getting MORE POSITIVE acknowledgement than my own. I realize that we are only 3/5 humans to the white community. But damn we can’t get any help when WE NEED IT. So we aren’t feeling overjoyed to help anyone else anymore.
I don’t blame you for feeling that way. Black women have been saving our asses for a long time in this F’d mess. I am so grateful for them, but it’s not fair to expect them to shoulder that burden.
I have protested and called senators and reps. I have written letters. And I have never failed to vote. It makes me so sad that we have made as little progress as we have. I want a better world for your children & mine. I know it’s no consolation, but I do see you.
Makes life so much harder for people who just want to be left alone to live their lives as they choose. It means they're likely have to start showing their genitals to airport authorities around the world and to anyone else who questions their gender. It's not right.
I think the 'Right wing' hate on trans community because they aren't comfortable with themselves or sexuality.
This person is perfect example. I think she's pretty. I'm a straight man. I have no issue thinking she is pretty in finding she may have been born a man.
Their attacks started when they realized that trans women could have no distinguishing characteristics of their genetics if treatment started in puberty. This woman and another one who stared on Supergirl and many like them have no male tells. Causes MAGAt cowards to melt down.
Ugh, that makes more sense why they fearmonger so much about puberty blockers for minors. Not because they are danger but because they can actually work :(
This is targeting by Trump and his minions from Project 2025. Musk has a daughter who's trans. Has he had a meltdown about that and that is why he supports this? Reminds me so very much of the Jews in Germany.
Sadly, I hear many are so afraid that they are de-transitioning. Can you imagine finally having the life that recognizes and syncs with your soul just to have to give it up because of one mean jackass?
#IQ47 et al are playing zero sum games with the happiness, well-being, & lives of the rest of us in the most callous & cynical ways possible. Anyone thinking they are safe from this are fooling themselves. I am so sorry this happened. #ally
Doesn’t look like a Hunter James or a man to me. So much for verifying an identity. Isn’t that the basic purpose of the passport…you can show a state issued driver’s license or a passport? I’m sorry this hateful stuff is happening, along with everything else.
This is abhorrent. What is wrong with people? My parents always taught me to be polite and refer to someone by the name they want you to call them. Why is it any different with pronouns or gender? They’ll call an Anthony Tony, but won’t call her Toni???
It’s the "outing myself" that has me most worried for Trans folks. Law enforcement and border agents looking to cause harm will be waiting for the opportunity 😕
I just don't get it. My personal experience, I met one transgender woman, probably 15 years ago. We sat next to each other & talked for quite a while. She was beautiful. I had no idea she was transgender. I was told much later. Didn't change a single thing I thought of her!
I hope she has to renew during this administration. Then she’ll see her privilege doesn’t matter and the leopards will eat her face. They don’t care until it happens to them.

You bet. ALL passport offices have been instructed to get rid of those forms (DS-11 and DS-82) that have ANY reference to gender markers or a neutral sex designation. And when the new forms come out in April or May, you are either "M" or "F". End of story (for now).
Despicable!! I am truly fortunate that my passport was renewed in 2024. But this regime puts every transperson in much more danger than we even were before.
It's so difficult to explain science, medical science, because narcissistic people are not able to have empathy, laughter, fun and joy. These people truly have brain damage. I've seen it myself in my anatomy classes, dissecting brains. They are missing or damaged in the frontal lobe area.
Never ceases to amaze me the depth to which republicans want to dig into people’s private lives. What does it matter to them? Grasping at straws solely for political gain. Trans, Bi, Gay or straight we are all human beings with hopes and dreams for ourselves, our loved ones and our country.
How else are they gonna make sure they target or oppress people? I mean, why go to all the trouble of looking for them when they can just make life as difficult as possible, then make them suffer more.
This is classic scapegoating. Find a relatively powerless group and hate on them. I could possibly understand why some people are confused about sex reassignment when kids are under 18, not that I oppose that, but why the obsession with transgender adults? Why not just mind your own damn business!
I renewed mine in '24. My marker's "F," per every passport I've had. Am I safe? NO! Ther've been transwomen who've had passports confiscated. I'm awaiting Canada to reclassify trans status to "unsafe" in the US before crossing. Hostile officials may confiscate my papers any time. This is terrifying.
I worry for the scrutiny at the discretion of the border or TSA agents to make this very uncomfortable and even use it as cause to detain people. Yes, the cruelty is the point.
Soulless garbage people. Everyone should look up the ten stages of genocide and pick the group you’ve been designated into and where it’s at. Not to fear, but to plan. FUCKING DEFEND YOURSELVES.
Used to be an election worker (no longer, too dangerous) and a young man came to the table with id. It was confusing, because the DL stated female, with his dead name. We had a bit of a quiet conversation, and he went off with his ballot. I learned a lot that day.
I imagine your son didn't get beaten up or have to fight for his right to exist as a man in the first place, so yeah, it probably doesn't matter as much to him.
Your son has been beaten up specifically for being a boy? For not being/dressing/acting like a girl like he was supposed to? Because that's the reality for trans kids. Sometimes they get bullied to death. That's why it matters so much to them.
People’s gender has no effect on any maga whatsoever and they only use the hatred and evil to energize their sick, twisted cult. 95% of the sick people that get caught sexually abusing victims are maga. Their repression causes more evil!
this is very dangerous and i’m terrified, i was already scared living in the deep south-the bible belt- now i’m scared i wont be able to escape to anywhere safe
This is why I do not stand for people comparing race to sexual preference or gender. We can never change our skin color.. ever. We are targeted and we cannot escape it even if we wanted to.
She will get detained. Folks should make a network of protection for her. It might be time to hire a lawyer, and to make plans not to travel alone so she doesn’t get disappeared.
I hope we can wrench our country loose from this deadly strangling grip of the Trump/Putin INC. (To me Musk is the go-between so Putin can get his agenda done. Trump must drive even Putin crazy.)
This obsession Trump has with trans people is tragic. I’m sorry you and others have to suffer.
Government cruelty, its f***ing disgusting to see there is absolutely no reason to do this other than to humiliate, traumatise and inflict state sanctioned cruelty.
America is stained, perhaps forever by the decision to allow Trump a second term. If you can leave. Then get out.
This is so incredibly demeaning and stupid. Doesn’t look at all male. Wtf. In Quebec Trans people who had reassignment surgery get a new birth certificate, which I thought was odd but now I 100% get why it’s important. Many of us may not understand trans people but wtf it has zero impact on us.
It is okay to not understand trans people. We don't know what it is like to feel like you are trapped in the wrong body. I am thankful I don't have that burden.
What's more is this is supposed to be a legal ID - it should reflect what who person is and what they look like. If authorities were looking for her as a male - would they be able to ID her?
That's the point. They don't want us to be able to use them safely. That plus the SAVE act means we will be unable to vote. Also, they're setting the stage for denying certain state's IDs credibility as legal identification, which will be used as a premise to arrest trans people.
Only 5 dems voted for the #SAVEact last time, like @gluesenkampperez.house.gov I'm a constituent who voted for her. This is her response, after she claimed she had no ability to address the lack of enforcement of stalking and harassment laws in her district to protect healthcare providers, like me.
All this time drumming up hate and calling it "protecting women athletes"... The NCAA is made up of 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states with 530k+ student-athletes. Mr Baker told a Senate committee in December that there were "less than 10" transgender athletes in the NCAA. Feb 7, 2025
So are they going to train airport TSA, Immigration, & Customs agents how to handle the obvious discrepancy when they look at a transperson's passport, not matching what they see in front of their own eyes? Oh wait, that training would not be allowed either. Not just insanity, sheer ignorance.
White, heterosexual, male, Christian [group] priority over every other group in America (and even abroad) is, as it has been, THE goal; to return societies to the existence of when racial minorities and the female gender didn't have rights to end the aforementioned group's TOP status.
HOW the targeted groups 'react to' the White/Heterosexual/Male/Christian (WHMC) group's efforts to reign supreme and unopposed atop the totem pole is of little significance to its number. Even if such groups applauded oppression, WHMC group establishing its priority over them remains THE point/goal.
Imo, the common denominator in all of this is the 'weak man' desire and NEED to be special; to feel important; to feel relevant. It's why most(?) insecure individuals (bullies, misogynists, racists, etc.) gravitate to oppressive/hateful groups: to obtain priority to force others to not dismiss them.
1933 the first targets of the Nazis were the people of the trans community, just like today. Please wake up and remove the Neohitler before it is to late!
The parallels with Nazi history are very clear. The MAGA regime is working fast to destroy every aspect of US governance and democracy and cause direct & significant harm to millions, in the US and worldwide. Trans people & immigrants are just the first scapegoats.
Tomorrow we in Germany vote for the chancellor of German Republic, maybe we falling the same brow pit again as you just do. I am deeply worried about what is ahead of us all.
Good luck to you. We’ll be watching with great concern. I hope Germany will maintain its sanity, and that the decent, pro-democracy, anti-fascist voters will turn out in great numbers.
I'm afraid to say that this is just the beginning of the misery that the orange goblin has in store for the USA. Your constitution will be shredded by Putins puppet, weakening NATO and the respect that the USA has around the globe 😔
I live in Africa. Maybe the US is respected a lot more by the people they're usually protecting and enabling but I don't know many people who have ever had a lot of respect for the US. The US is kinda getting what it usually dishes out. I only feel for the decent Americans who legit don't deserve it

So they were forced to vote for a bill with a completely irrelevant rider attached by the moronic Rs, and it's therefore their fault? Do you know how stupid that opinion is?
Try reading more than one word at a time, and you might get somewhere. The irrelevant bit was the bullshit rider on a "must pass" bill. LGBTQ+ rights are always relevant. My objection was to blaming Democrats for allowing a bill to pass, which is pure "whataboutism".
Yes. Cuz ya gotta read the bill first and if there’s anything in there that is a “no” then it needs to be denied and reworked, but instead libs like to throw the trans community under the bus. It denotes of pattern.
And the trans community is not irrelevant just because this bill states they are….and that’s the issue here. If you wanna fight against chauvinism, sexism, queerphobia and fascism start with defending the trans community. That’s a front line. It’s not “irrelevant.”
I fully agree with your sentiment, but the "yeah but they did this" noise doesn't help anyone.
For the record, the rider on the bill had no relevance to the bill. All LGBTQ+ rights are very relevant.
As for the “yeah but” they need to use their votes for power and stop with the excuses. Gotta make the bills work. It’s important. Will less bills get signed? Probly. But there’s less room for error.
Reworked with zero time on the clock? I'm in the UK, but still know how the Rs screwed the system with this. At least over here we don't allow irrelevant rider terms like this case. The US houses need to stop that bullshit, and start working for the people.
The problem is the bullshit riders that get attached to "must pass" bills. Fix that moronic practice, and half the power is stripped from these Nazi "representatives".
I don't have any loyalty to a party, especially the Democrats. I was commenting on the "whataboutism" of referencing that bill to demonstrate the claim that the D and R parties are as bad as each other.
Is reading comprehension a lost art these days?
Maine Governor Janet Mills decided that women's sports was the hill she wanted to die on. She refused to comply with Trumps EO and told him she would see him in court.
Several hours later, the Office of Civil Rights announced they were investigating Maine for Title IX violations.
There is no LGB without the T. Now more than ever we need to stand with the trans community. In 1969 if Marsha P Johnson a trans woman hadn’t had the balls to standup and fight back against the NYC police department there would be no Stonewall and no pride celebrations.
Cruelty is the point… his daddy Vladimir will be proud.
Since start of “Special Operation”, I keep a bottle of special wine which I was going to drink when Putin kick the bucket… but if we got lucky and Trump will be first to meet the maker… I will consider to drink it on that occasion.
Fascism has to be defeated. This is pure hate, a big government invasion of privacy that will backfire and lead to more acceptance and support for trans.
It's been happening since the Melon Felon signed that 'Executive Order' last month. Basically, if your gender marker was ever different, you were screwed when it came to passport renewal.
The real problem is how each agent is going to deal with this travesty. A few good ones will be OK with this, but it only takes one bad apple, and another trans person is destroyed.
In my state, you can change the gender on your birth certificate. I wonder if the State Department just ignores that, or what? Anybody know? Family member is trans so will have to face this soon.
I've seen other stories like this one so I'm just trying to understand where State Dept gets its gender info and whether the people this is happening to had changed it on their birth certificate. Yes, cruelty is the only reason for it. So utterly Christian of them.
Not to mention that it makes trans people obvious targets to homeland security agents or other government officials who feel like denying them visas, denying them a driver's license, making them wait in lines longer, mocking them in government offices, arresting them for minor offences, etc.
Apathy. So much apathy. People caught up in spectacle. Now we have to grab it back the hard way. I pray people don't get physically hurt to do it. Anyone thinking that DJT et al are just coming for the marginalized - He'll be bullying & threatening the states & local govt next.
This is not about whether it's a bit harder at border control. It's about the fact that Trump's regime DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, and WILL FORCE THEIR WILL ON YOU.
It starts with "M" in your passport, continues with wearing a yellow star of David, then it gets much much worse.
Yeppp that's the one...
Really should be taught better in history class that the holocaust encompassed even more than 'only' Jewish people. A systemic extermination of all undesirables.
I seriously wonder how Caitlyn Jenner, the poster child of coming out publicly as a transgender adult and also a high profile Republican, views these happenings. Hasn’t she been a frequent guest at Mar a Lago. I seriously welcome her public commentary on the subject.
A lot of people are going to be shocked by the number of transgender folks affected. I know for a fact that a lot of transgender students waited until they were away at college to express themselves as trans out of fear of their parents. It’s all too real, and too not the government’s business.
I have a friend who was recently stranded in France (which - could be worse) because she hadn't changed her last name on her passport after a divorce. I imagine this is going to have much the same impact for a lot of people who didn't plan on various borders becoming an issue.
Well, Ms Celebritypants, I don't know about you, but I feel so much safer now that I know I won't accidentally find out about this while me and you is making out in my pickup out back of the liquor store.
That could get real ugly.
It is not your white, celebrity privilege that concerns many, as much as their white, celebrity, male privilege does. They flaunt it and attack anyone who isn’t like them. He even contributed to imprisoning 5 innocent black kids and extended that hate.
And to think people on the left actually stayed home and couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala.
Notice those folks have NOTHING to say about foreign policy now.
Why do our government IDs need to have our sex listed AT ALL? Why is it anyone’s business? Think of everywhere we show these IDs. There’s no need to convey that information.
First, so much love to her.
Secondly, what pisses me off most is that we were FINALLY at a place where trans individuals were relatively safe. It felt like a good portion of our country & its systems were accepting people & helping them become their true selves.
Only for it now to be weaponized.
If your legislators spend all their time trying to “eliminate” DEI and LGBTQ rights, you may want to ask them… Whatever happened to lowering inflation, reducing the deficit, making food, housing and healthcare more affordable and ensuring good jobs with a living wage?
Those issues require actual skills to achieve noticeable results, and they would have to deal with people who know better than them, which their brittle egos can't handle. Easier just to step on a minority and take the bigots' cheer.
Easy - they believe DEI and LGBTQ are to blame for literally every negative thing that occurs in the US, with the same "blame the victim" mentality that has become a hallmark of The MAGA Reich. So naturally that means everything else falls into place when they nuke the country from orbit.
No, they don’t believe that. It’s just a tool to stir up and anger the ignorant. To create enemies to occupy the ignorant while they carry out their agenda. It’s demagogic sleight of hand if you will. Abhorrent as it is at least it’d be honest if they really believed it.
Ah. Guess I see ‘Evil’ as subjective.
VERY few do I see as ‘Truly EVIL’ (Leopold II, Hitler, Reagan… Poss Musk). Dumald? When GOP/Putin are finally DONE with THAT Useful Idiot? He’ll land so fast/hard? Wont even bounce.
Just crater.
I agree, but if we can get them to see that these two are actually the enemy within, maybe they'll start to understand that people without money aren't to be feared, they're to be helped. 🤞🏼
Agreed. They absolutely DO KNOW that someone else's sexuality has NOTHING to do with the current state of affairs. IT'S MUTUAL HATE; hate who I hate so we become allies.
Can you imagine being so pre-occupied with someone else's gender that you waste precious time and resources trying to deny them?
Try to make sure you have a birth certificate that shows your current gender. States like California allow you to fix your gender on your birth certificate with a doctor’s note.

This person is perfect example. I think she's pretty. I'm a straight man. I have no issue thinking she is pretty in finding she may have been born a man.
the right are too weakminded.
America rolling backwards.
If you give your love and energy to any Trump voter YOU are part of the problem.
If you show love or friendship to any Trump voter - you are letting them live a life of consequence-free evil. Validating them. That's on you.

And no one has ever taken notice of it, including police and TSA officers
But there's a fair probability that it is incorrect or unfair in whatever conclusions it draws
....But he has gone through a horrible journey.
