I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.

There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.
VERY urgent update regarding trans/nonbinary people safety & security:

A state senator in Indiana has introduced a bill to revert all updated birth certificates and drivers licenses to undo the change for transgender people.

We can't let this make it through.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Anyone who doesn't not instantly call Elon's nazi salute a nazi salute and tries to downplay it is the enemy. They are complicit.

My bottom surgery was denied by insurance. I can't afford the $150,000+ out of pocket cost.

And people wonder why we look at Luigi Mangioni like a hero.

I hate our insurance system. It needs to burn down to the ground.

Just got back from vacation and I'm going to miss this being my morning routine. Eggs Benedict, bacon, hot tea, a mimosa, and some smut overlooking the ocean truly was the life!

Made my first visit to NYC today. Had to visit where it all started.

More thoughts on today’s action coming. But our people are out and safe. We will keep fighting.

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

Sure I may have been "assigned male" at birth or whatever, but in school I was often "assigned homework" and I was bad at that too.

This reporting reveals two things:

1) The NYT is, as always, transphobic as hell.

but also...

2) Seth Moulton envisions a "grand bargain" of trading away sports for healthcare rights.

The big fear will be, Dems trade away sports now and continue to run on an equality act that never passes.

We need to as a group refuse to follow trans bathroom bans and have civil rights era sit ins and refuse to leave. We need to have a trans version of Rosa Parks.

Reflecting today on Transgender Day of Rememberance. Remembering all those who have come before me and through no fault of their own raised awareness on the struggles we face every day. They all deserved better. Hopefully some day we can have a world where that violence is gone. 🏳️‍⚧️
