I assume that this is a case of “Submitted comments may not be available to be read until the agency has approved them.” Perhaps weaponized.

Yeah, I noticed that too? They’re supposed to publish these comments, but what if they are sitting on them instead? Not like they’re fans of the law, after all.
Likely.

Publish the TERF ones, shitcan the rest. That would be on par for these asshats. We already know they cannot stand disagreement.

NEW: Retailers like Walmart and Target that have rolled back their DEI efforts have seen a big drop in foot traffic, while Costco, a company that continues to invest in DEI, has seen more foot traffic. While correlation doesn’t equal causation, still intriguing.

In other news, the global increase of left-handedness also continues. It’s almost like people have a lot more variety in their existence when they aren’t beaten (or worse) for being who they are and are simply allowed to exist.

Here is how I edited this…Gonna post this!
As an American citizen (who is cisgendered), I strongly oppose these changes to replace “gender” with “sex” and to define sex as a binary rather than a spectrum. EO 14168 is fundamentally flawed and bigoted, as it flies in the face of our shared values of freedom, individualism, and a love of human rights for all. It also flies in the face of the scientific consensus on gender. Therefore, creating policy based on it is at odds with our values and with science itself.
Trans men and women, non-binary people, and intersex people deserve the right live out their lives free from discrimination and harassment, especially from the government. Limiting their right to have only one of two gender markers and forcing them to use the wrong gender marker is a form of oppression. We should always seek to make our country more welcoming and less oppressive for all.
Any right thinking, freedom loving Americans should oppose this attempted erasure of an entire group of people. If any of us are vulnerable to this kind of state-based discrimination, than all of us are vulnerable to it. Traveling abroad with the full protection of one’s government is and should be a human right. This change is fraught with a deep prejudice against the trans and non-binary community and intersex Americans. As such, as a patriotic American, I fully oppose these changes to our system of issuing passports.
