They’d have to shoot me before I will ever deny my own womanhood. Not even with a gun to my head would I call myself a man. I lived in a closet for 18 years and it nearly killed me. It damaged me in ways I have to live with forever. I am a woman. They can say whatever the fuck they want it won’t change that. I will not bow my head. If it comes to it, I’ll die with my back straight, proud of who I am.
Same sister, I’ll happily die a woman if the alternative is living as a man. Gender affirming care is the reason I didn’t have to make that choice, and I may have to decide again…
You and me! I’m also gay and there’s no way they’ll ever step over me like that. We’ve suffered way too much collectively to lie down at their feet. It’s time to fight back–again!
You have a lot of allies who feel similarly about being forced to be cruel to people we love and care about. Let’s live through these terrible times with our humanity intact.
Proud of you, but seriously, be careful? Emigrate to a country where people are treated like humans, perhaps? You might even be able to request asylum.
Just don’t get yourself killed because some psycho said something stupid
Because it very clearly does affect trans women? So either you’re not paying attention or you’re denying trans women their womanhood. Either way, downvote.
The order… directs the State Department… to “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately,” one of the officials said.
That’s fucking terrible and possibly detrimental for the mental health of trans people.
If you have a passport or drivers license that says “M” and you are in a dress and full face of makeup, are you physically safe?
I have a drivers license that says “M” and have a beard. This EO (and state law) say that it should have an “F.” When I was a broke college student, and it did say “F” but I had a beard, I could barely find work scrubbing shit off bleachers with face tattooed ex cons. I had to do sex work. If I get to that point again I will just kill myself. And I did just lose my job lol.
Background checks still occasionally fuck me - I had a job let me work there for a week and then they tried not to pay me because the background check revealed I was trans. I spent months fighting for money, because I was ducking desperate, because I was going through a divorce where I was getting fucked for being a crazy tranny there too.
Documentation fucking matters. This is how they are trying to kill us.

Don’t worry. We got your back.
Thank you. Truly.

Glad you’re here. As a fellow LGBTQ+ card carrying member, we are going to keep fighting even harder. Let this presidency radicalize you.

If you’re a woman then this doesn’t affect you.
I think it only affects nonbinary folks.
Edit: why was I downvoted for this?
I now have to live in fear of the Government randomly declaring me a man.
Why? You’re a woman.
I know I am, but the Government may not see it that way.

How? Trans women are women.
If you missed it in the article:
That’s fucking terrible and possibly detrimental for the mental health of trans people.
I’m confused. Does a passport list your sex or your gender?
If you have a passport or drivers license that says “M” and you are in a dress and full face of makeup, are you physically safe?

The article quote I linked says sex. If a person is pre-op or not choosing surgery, they will forced to have the wrong gender on their docs.
I’m in Canada, your docs say what you identify as under “sex”.
