From the article: "SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Hunter Schafer says “it’s important to just keep track of where things are in our country,” a day after the “Euphoria” star posted a video in which she revealed her new passport had been issued with a male gender marker.
"Speaking to The Associated Press on the red carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, the 26-year-old actor, who is trans, said she felt “it was a good, necessary point” to share. Schafer, also a presenter at the award show, was nominated for best lead performance for “Cuckoo. ”

[edit 2] State IDs (e.g. driver license) are *probably* okay to update. Federal IDs (e.g. passport) may not be. See https://mstdn.games/@Melezioh/113879385765317014
[edit 1] Rule of Law, Due Process, and 60 Day Waiting Periods are only protections against people willing to follow them. GOP has shown that it is does only what serves its purposes. Do not expect Trump voters to obey the law.
Original post follows.
—————
It was requested pol messages go behind a CW, hence not boosting.
TL;DR - Docs submitted for gender marker changes may be confiscated indefinitely pending legislation; updated documents may not be issued.
FYI this occurred in Minnesota.

#RepublicanParty #mailer attacked #TedCruz’s opponent #ColinAllred for allowing a #trans #girl to compete in #girls #sports. As usual, their #hateful #falseclaims were based on #lies.
#Trans #Boy #MackBeggs fought to #compete with #boys but was forced to wrestle #girls due to the #gendermarker on his #birthcertificate, enforced by transphobic officials from the #TexasUniversityInterscholasticLeague, which oversees #publicschool #sports in the state.
