[…] The Lemkin Institute will not be surprised if the Trump Administration follows Kansas’s lead and invalidates passports where the gender marker does not correspond with one’s assigned sex at birth.
In 2025, President Trump issued an executive order requiring new passports to correspond with sex assigned at birth, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in November of 2025.
Any trans people who obtain new passports while this executive order is in effect will be forced to out themselves if they attempt to leave or re-enter the country, putting them at risk of harassment or violence. […]

If this is not the very definition of early stage #TransGenocide as taught in German Schools' History Classes, [and codified in law] then what?

• A mandatory Pink Triangle??
• A T-Stamp in Passports (if Misgendering isn't that already!)??
• #Trans* #Inter* and #nonbinary people being denied #Passports and #ID documents that match their actual identity?
  • Cuz I can already cite at least one person that would have no problem testifying under oath what happened to them!

Seriously, given the 'Historical Responsibility' that #Germany constantly iterates, it seems not just justified but warranted and expected that @bamf and @AuswaertigesAmt are morally obligated to offer protection, immigration, residency- and work permits for those fleeing the prosecution of the #Trump regime.

• Because not doing so would go against *The core tennants of the very constitution @Bundesregierung and it's entire cabinet members swore allegiance to as they entered office.

Google will require government ID from all Android developers by Sept 2026, even for non-Play Store apps like F-Droid. 🧩

Brave, EFF, and Tor say this "developer registry" risks privacy for volunteers and kills Android's openness. 🛡️

Ministers will be able to impose digital ID checks, curfews and VPN restrictions without Parliamentary scrutiny.

This can be used on websites, social media, apps and games with no need to show there's any harm to children.

RE: https://journa.host/@theintercept/116201953810622433

I have a question for those #governments which push for this:
-Do I need an #ID when I am visiting a gallery, or marketplace, or grocery, or movie theater, or....

So why I need to ID myself when I am visiting a website?
Don't use a #childrensafety card, because it is nothing to do with children safety. Istead of pushing laws against citizens you regulate the websites to create a safe environment for all.
