   The US Department of State, acting on orders of very questionable legality, destroyed my new, already printed, waiting to be picked up passport for only one reason: it listed my sex as "X".

   Please help replace my passport.

   Fill this out. Monday is the last day.

     Even before I transitioned, people regularly got confused about my gender...

     Now my appearance is so androgynous that I have had multiple doctors be genuinely unsure of my sex assigned at birth when examining me in person, and my birth certificate has been ret-conned to state I was born this way.

     @Articwolf It's not biologically correct.

     Although biologically correct, Trump is taking America to the dark age and legitimise his far right goons to completely divide a fragile nation

     @Articwolf it's basically the biology version of teaching kids they can't take the square root of a negative number, then later they tell them "lol, actually we lied about that..."

     There are documented cases of women with XY chromosomes conceiving and giving birth naturally.

     @Articwolf It's petty cruelty for the sake of "vice signaling" and scapegoating. Echos of what happened with same-sex marriage.

     Meanwhile, the UK claims my birth certificate isn't valid and over £400k in legal bills have accumulated in my efforts to sue for legal recognition of my gender here, and Kemi Badenoch took retaliatory legislative action to spite me.

     Sorry, I was thinking by the way I was taught, but I totally disagree with the 2 sexes law, first the world is not black and white, second is denying a person to be who they want to be, America has always been called the land of the free, but really is it?
