I’m so fucking scared. They’ve inhibited our movement by fucking with passports, they’ve defined us as dishonest and dishonorable in the EO kick us out of the military, they’ve codified the notion that our gender identity constitutes sexual deviance and poses a threat to children, they’ve attacked proven life-saving care, with a focus on children and an impact on adults.
and now they’re trying to book-burn us out of existence.
this is systematic dehumanization, the track record of which is grim.
There’s just straight up not enough of us to do this on our own.
If people don’t start standing up for us, we’re fucked.
They are stealing the documents of trans people who go to get new documents including passports, leaving them without identifying paperwork (and identified by the authorities by the paperwork they lost) in a time where that is very convenient for the people in power, and threatening them with arrest if they ask for them back. In addition to what has been said already
There have been multiple people in local groups that have reported this happening to them this week. Going to get documentation updated, sent home without anything - not even documentation with natal sex. Local queer org put out an advisory - reached out to all shrinks that work with queer people.

Wait, how did they mess with passports?

non-binary people had been getting “X“ instead of M or F on their passport. The Trump administration will no longer allow those passports to be issued
There was a story about how they wouldn’t renew some transgender persons passport the other day.
The entire passport office is shut down right now .
They are not issuing new passports.
For anyone trans or NB, starting with applications received from 1/16. Others are not impacted yet AFAIK.
Unless you mean because it’s 3 am on a Sunday, this is blatent misinformation.

Wait, for real? For everyone?
For anyone with an x or that is trans. Renewals for them is awaiting on a policy update.
