Explained more simply: When Chaz Bono and Laverne Cox next go to renew their passports, Chaz will receive one that says F, and Laverne will receive one that says M.

Passports specifically ask for sex, not gender. Nobody can change their sex. Gender, I agree, is something different. But that's not what's being asked.

Are we really going to go around the whole reality of people of indeterminate sex existing again? With the post above yours hanging out there? No, we are not.

The fraud angle has been a lurking danger. Now it’s here. So much for this only being about kids (which was bad enough as it was).

If you're talking about genetically intersex people, that's a completely different matter.

Different poster here. They mentioned them on the EO and erased them as well. Same EO attacking trans people.

It’s clear this administration wants to harm as many trans people as possible. It’s spreading to Texas where they have a bill that makes being transgender a felony. Can we call it genocide yet?

No bc no one has been killed or denied care.

And the TX bill won’t pass. It is performative.

I get that it is a scary time but let’s also not whip ourselves into such a state of fear that we encourage suicide.

You clearly did not understand what the previous pp was saying. No doubt with using the biological males and biological women terms you really shouldn't be posting here. I prefer to call transgender people trans women and trans men. Also, you used males and women instead of males and females or men and women. Genius.

No transgender person is eligible for the draft because transgender people have been banned from the military. Genius.

This is the government's language:

"The Military Selective Service Act, as it is written, only authorizes the registration of “male persons”. In order for the Selective Service to be authorized to register women, Congress would have to pass legislation amending the current law."

He wants to make the law say that there are only two genders, but I fail to see how this would affect real life. He also wants to ban transgender women from sports, but there are barely any transgender women in professional sports anyway. I'm not sure what to think about this, and if I should be afraid or not. How much do you all think he will follow through with his promises?

Make a list of the reasons and goals for your transition.

Consider how each item affects how you interact with other people in private, public, and government / law enforcement.

For many of these, you will be treated as your sex assigned at birth. Are you OK with that? Bathrooms, jails and prisons, paperwork, sports, scholarships, social clubs, etc.

No one can control the inside of your own mind without your consent, though they will try to influence it.

DOGE is coming for our gender now?

They’ll try to ban HRT for transgender people and put transgender people into conversion therapy prison camps.
