Making this it's own comment because some of the info is useful.

Seriously. If your trans, go talk to your gun owning friends, Get prepared for brown shirts to come knocking. Figure out where along your regular routes are safe spaces. Talk to your neighbors displaying the right kind of actual real patriotism.

It's American is fuck to defend your community to the death.

It's okay. they're just home invaders. Fire away.

Also, start looking into alternative sources for your drugs.

DIY hormone therapy is 100% possible and with the proper precautions no one can stop you.

Seems to me it's American as fuck to - bury your head in the sand, never stand up for your human rights and particularly not those of others, cower behind your door with a gun you're too afraid to use, then wonder how all this came about smh

If my gender doesn’t exist, doesn’t that mean that I don’t exist? And if I don’t exist, then I can’t get a passport or hold office? That sucks, but that also means I also don’t have to pay taxes and can’t be charged with a crime. Heck, you can’t even chase me! What’re you gonna do, tell the police to go after the “~~man~~ wait no, ~~woman~~, wait no 🤯”?

These motherfuckers just Polyphemus'd themselves, and I’m “Nobody.”

Seriously, though, denying passports to intersex people is some science-denying bullshit.

I believe this is legally supposed to take 60 days before it’s effective but read that some transphobes are already enforcing it.

You're completely correct about you no longer existing, but the problem is you think this in some way can benefit you.

What this is really is is another way to make you an unperson, so that they can do whatever they'd like to you, and then answer "I don't know who you're talking about" if anyone comes asking, since, of course, the sack of meat was no longer that person.
