But now, after nearly 20 months of secrecy, the State Department has finally declassified its full guidelines for ‘adjudicating’ sex markers on passports, and unfortunately, it’s even worse than was previously believed. The policy in question, which is codified as Section 403.3 of Volume 8 of the Foreign Affairs Manual and is simply titled ‘Sex Markers,’ is divided into four subsections: Summary, Procedures, Eligibility for a Fully Valid Passport or Passport Card, and Indicators of a Prior Change to Sex Marker.
It’s really kind of baffling just how bonkers the right wing has gone over transgender issues. I mean, not really baffling - you pick a random scapegoat and hammer away, that’s how authoritarianism works. But why transgender? So weird. I guess it’s a bit easier because of how humans often get excessively wound up about sexuality, just look at basically every religion ever.
the fash trash are traditionalists. they stay true to the classics.

Probably because homosexuality isn’t the minority it used to be and trans people are another secret minority that makes them spookier.
I love having a government run by a bunch of weirdo pederast, so much fun.
I think that “pedarast” is the word you’re looking for.

Ah, thanks
so much time, money, and energy is devoted to upholding traditional hierarchies like gender essentialism.
i’m proud to be trans. fuck these rigid ideologies. they will inevitably crack, break, and crumble.

Shit like this is why I got mine renewed before his second term (and why I initially got my passport before his first term). If you want it you’ll have to take it from me when I flee the country.
Doing the important work and all that…
