There’s a part of my brain that says “Is this your first time on a government watch list?” Right now it’s just removing the provision that says homeland security can’t creep on people just due to their orientation or gender identity, but it’s still like going down a checklist, isn’t it?

Got my passport card. It does indeed say “Sex: M.” Not surprising, but disappointing.

Since they insist on listing sex rather than gender, this is technically not incorrect. I haven’t done any medical transitioning.

Card goes in protective sleeve, sleeve goes back in envelope, envelope goes into a drawer, middle finger goes up, additional donation goes to ACLU.

Here, too. Though likely anywhere here in Oregon is a relatively safe zone as we have trans rights written into our state constitution and law.

An update on the ‘biological’ sex bathrooms at University of Cincinnati. They’ve come down after massive student protests. Protests work, don’t stop pushing back!

Yep… Yep… It’s not acceptable to treat our trans brothers and sisters this way. We got to show that this is unacceptable, and let people in power know. The more people come out, the more they’ll back off on stuff like this.

Gay state official called out his GOP governor’s “cruel” joke. Now he could lose his job.

His governor made a transphobic joke, but he might be the one to lose his job for speaking out about it.

I’ve gone into the woman’s washroom. It was even easier than he thinks – I didn’t have to say anything to anyone. After all, it’s not like they have guards. I just was distracted, accidentally used the wrong door, and then blushed at realizing my mistake on the way out. Living the dream.

Meanwhile I don’t believe for a moment this misogynist asshole is secure enough to actually use the pronoun “they” or use a door that doesn’t reaffirm his manliness to all the other misogynist assholes out there.

Ah, the classic ‘I may have said something absolutely horrible about a whole group of people, but you used a bad word so you get punished’ tone-policing bullshit bigots love. :roll_eyes:
