Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

i think you should be fans of your friends. unashamedly. i think you should boost and uplift your friends every chance you get. i think it’s important to let them know that not only do you love them, but you’re also rooting for them. most of the time people need to hear it.
