We need countries, #Canada #UK #France #Spain #TheNetherlands #Germany #Belgium #EU to say that if you have paperwork to show you transitioned, we will accept that you even if the gender on your passport is different. Misgendering passports in the #US is the modern-day equivalent of a yellow ⭐️.

From incel forums to women-hating ‘influencers’ like Andrew Tate, platforms are enabling extreme misogyny online. This dangerous ideology can radicalize young men & put women's lives at risk. Stand against the toxic manosphere, add your name👇
