The scene in LA today of masked secret police arresting law abiding humans at work and firing “non-lethal” rounds and tear gas into citizens trying to protect them is like something out of a dystopian nightmare.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
