there is actually nothing better than writing a first draft of a story, looking at it, and going “wait but I’m kind of cooking here”

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.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
