Hi all, does anyone have current guidance on getting US passports with corrected gender markers and names for #trans folks? I know there was a lot of concern that original documents would be withheld - do we have confirmation of that?

If corrected passports are not available, does anyone know if it’s possible to get passports that still have deadnames and incorrect gender markers?

PSA about trans mascs: the fact that some folks actually WANT to be dudes makes me so happy. They bring such a wholesome energy to masculinity, and it provides such a contrast with my own experience of masculinity.

Once I finally figured out I am a woman, it was trans mascs who taught me that it isn’t testosterone that makes people toxic, it is buying into patriarchy.

Just wanna say thank you to the trans masculine people in my life for showing me the difference. Ya’ll are awesome.

@tokensane You say, “Trans women are women.”

Dudes of the world: I have a challenge for you. This one’s real simple, but like most simple-but-important things, actually DOING it is shockingly hard.

Ready? Okay, here we go.

When women tell you a situation isn’t safe for them, just believe them. Take it at face value. No questions, no negotiating.

That’s it! Off you go. And #boost this on your way.

#Trans USians: The state department is processing passport requests submitted with expedited processing in like two weeks. Just in case that’s a thing that is relevant to your interests.

Please boost! #TransFemme folk, what should I be asking in my bottom surgery consult tomorrow? Stress has blanked my mind and I need help thinking of things I’ll wish I asked!

My first experience in the world was be non-consentually gendered. Before my umbilical cord was cut, medical professionals had decided how they would gender me. Everyone else followed. I was not given a chance to consent to that gendering and the role that came with it. I was not given a chance to say no.

That act of violence came with further coercion. I was conscripted to follow the rules of the gender that was forced on me, and those rules included gaslighting myself about who I was; any deviation from the role I was assigned was to be shamed at a minimum.

@jepyang @lennby I HAVE BEEN WONDERING THIS SAME THING.

@brooke @rooster I feel like everything about time zones is cursed knowledge.

@Terra @WrenArcher That’s some strong Wren energy, there.

@WrenArcher @Terra I mean, I just think they are really cute denim action, and that reads really you! 😊
