Going through old photos and found this bus ad. Surreal how I'm seeing what I must have seen then and having such a completely different way of seeing this now.

My Passport Gender Request Was Denied. It Could Have Been Much Worse.
After a grueling and expensive bureaucratic process, I became one of the first people to have a passport correction request denied by the new Trump administration.

i managed to update my license with my correct gender marker back in july, but i now i definitely cannot get a passport and prob not a real ID. this is a travel ban.
I wrote about the ~$800 and months-long process of not getting a passport. This administration is effectively instituting a trans travel ban.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.
