This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.
In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

I got another rejection. Let me wallow and whine for a moment. OK moving on. I never thought I’d be working on more than 1 book at a time. I didn’t think my brain could manage it, but as I’ve learned by wiser people than me, I can be querying one and drafting 3 others. What?? Yeah. 🙌🏻 #amwriting

Wassup! I’m just here to say that so many times I’ve wanted to give up because I get so close and then a rejection and a rejection and a rejection.
