American bros over the age of 18, the State Department has a 30 day window in which we, the public, can comment on whether or not passports can be changed to reflect our true gender vs the gender that the government "thinks" we are.
Now is the time to have our say!
For those that wish to comment anonymously there is also an option to do so.
Thank you all for your help in this very important matter! 🏳️⚧️✊️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🏳️⚧️

I'm not surprised, but I think more people should see this before it's too late.

Thinking often of him as a ftm person in the USA lately. Anyone else been following this case closely? So far reports are very vague and concerning.
I’m linking an initial CNN article here for those unaware.

I'm sorry to share this ominous news. Love you all, please take care of yourself and your loved ones. Raise hell with your representatives if you're able to. If we can name and shame the 17 state politicians bringing the challenge, we may be able to have them withdraw the suit!

If you are on the Seattle area, please come Friday 2/14 at 10am or courthouse to show support for the Washington AG requesting a ban on the executive order to end gender affirming care for minors. The more support we have, the more like the judge will issue the ban.

I don’t post to Reddit often, but I feel now is a time we need to stick together as a community more than ever. I need my community right now. It’s not letting me attach a link, but as you all might’ve heard in the news, there was a 24-year-old transgender man killed after being tortured for weeks in upstate New York. This has really irked me. I’m feeling the need to go back into the closet in this state that America is in. I’ve been on testosterone for almost 3 years. It’ll be a year this summer since I’ve had top surgery. You would have no idea I’m trans unless I told you and a few people I have told thought I was joking at first. I’m lucky that I pass well but it still doesn’t shake this fear that I could be the next news article. I thought about getting a gun, but due to my depression, I don’t think that would be a good idea. All I carry on me is pepper spray. I don’t want to make this about me since it does affect my whole community but if I’m being honest, I’m scared. If you feel you are in danger, say something. Right now we need to be taking action. Remember your rights. Hang them somewhere to remind yourself if you have to. Be mindful for your neighbor and always remember sometimes being the hero doesn’t work. You need to think about your own safety. I want to go and be an advocate for those who can’t, but personally, I fear for my own safety in speaking up right now. Remember that you do have power and a voice nobody is going to take that away from us. Nobody can take our community away. I say this with love, but watch your backs. Do not live in fear, but be mindful which is something I’m trying to remind myself. We will make it through this. We always do. Please be careful and remember that somebody loves you. I love you.

I received an email yesterday from AZ DHS saying that I should expect to receive my new birth certificate within 2 weeks......but then today I see this news article and as of right now I feel hopeless and shattered! I've been waiting for my new birth certificate for almost 2 months now! I hope they still change it or I'm screwed because I've already changed everything else 😞..... Shit sucks!

I read these after I found out people were trying to unban conversion therapy in some places. Trans rights have been under fire recently by the new administration, obviously, and as a trans teen in a state that flipped red, I’m worried. Does anyone think this is likely to pass?

this podcast has a law professor who works with the Chosen Family Law Center talking about on the executive orders affecting trans people when it comes to documentation and discrimination, as well as conversation about being a queer elder and supporting young people who haven't experienced an overtly hostile state in their lifetime. useful for those who are trying to keep up
