Trans, intersex, and nonbinary people applying for passports will no longer be able to select an “X” marker for gender.

    That’s going to be really confusing when a fully passing trans person goes up to customs or TSA and it’s clearly wrong. Although then again my ex had her old picture still and the looks she got were pretty funny (that was decades ago, though, when this wasn’t being used as a scapegoat).

      The policy on egg prices is “go fuck yourself”.

      We need some stickers with trump on them saying “I did that” on the overpriced egg signs

      Still $9 “low price” at Ralph’s in the Los Angeles area…

        I’ve been paying $8-9 for fancy organic farmer’s market eggs for years. It’s wild to me that the basic Kroger brand egg now cost that much but my fancy eggs haven’t gone up in price.

        Yes but that’s Ralph’s. I’ve continued getting $4 eggs from Sprouts which is just their going rate. (Although their $9 pasture eggs are lit).

        Costco was about the same per dozen (business costco had 15 doz for ~$137) and they’re supposed to be cheaper because of membership fees and buying in bulk. But, hey, at least those damned trans folk are miserable! That’s all any of us ever really wanted, right?

        Oh look, another brick wall on which to bang my head until I do enough brain damage to understand the reichright.

        Does this actually sell? I personally buy it from Costco for $3.95 and I’ve lowered my eggs consumerism consumption(fuck Gboard for wanting to speak for me) from 5 - 7 eggs in the morning to only 3 now. And if this shit keeps going up, I’m stopping it completely.

    The Publix by my house is completely out of eggs what are these fucking morons doing. Every cabinet member needs to be tending to a hen farm.

    How will this actually be enforced though? Some states allow changes to birth certificates. I doubt they are going to start doing genital exams or asking people for doctors forms. Seems the only viable option would be to add it to the affirmation you do when getting a passport, “Do you swear you were born with a penis?” Which means someone who might lie could have punishment.

    GOP doing what they do best, attacking the marginalized because they are scared and can’t fathom that their box doesn’t fit everyone.

      The confusion is part of the strategy. It’s much easier to attack a disorganized enemy, in this case, the American people.

      Do you genuinely think the government doesn’t have any trace of whether or not you have changed your gender marker?

      Bureaucracy is kind of their whole thing.

      Maybe it’s just because I’m in a red state, but I know for a fact my state keeps track of that. I’m probably going to a camp very quickly.

        Depends on how the state does it. California amends birth certificate in most cases by leaving the previous version of the document as an addendum to the current… except in cases of gender change. If any person or agency queries the document they see a single page that reflect the updated gender, no history.

        (They also do this if your name has a slur in it that you want removed, which is nice)

        I changed my marker during Biden. My state made it very easy. It’s a liberal bastion in the NE, and I have an X for NB.

        But, yeah, I don’t feel exactly safe. If they made me change my marker, I wouldn’t have much concern psychologically (I’m more gender abolitionist), but I feel like they wouldn’t do much asking and would just rather “remove me” from society or whatever.

        It’s not great, but I know some of my trans homies have it much worse. Going through years of HRT, therapy, etc., transitioning, and then finally getting to a marker and identity that aligns with you…only for this group to push you to change it back (or again, potentially worse outcomes).

        It may be a time of setbacks and shitty outcomes, but Pandora’s box is largely open. While the trans population is small, a lot of people know a trans person now. Hell, Elon is bitterly related to one.

        Even if they killed all LGBTQ people, you can’t eliminate this population like genocide: it’s an idea or identity.(“And ideas are bulletproof” jk) You can’t kill these feelings out of existence forever. Queer people will always exist.

    why aren’t they just doing nothing and embracing their very obvious trans acceptance and kink 💜
