Just a reminder that our trans industry colleagues are literally running out the clock. Life and death. If you are wondering if you should offer them a gig even at a low rate outside America, for the love of Pete, do it now. There very well might not be a later for them, even to get a passport to leave. If this is imposter syndrome about their followers, credentials, or reputation, just offer the damn job. SOC analyst. Trainer. Anything.

If you think I’m being extreme, read this saga of a trans person currently even trying to get a passport. They were lucky to have an old ID still, and to meet an understanding bureaucrat, https://www.reddit.com/r/Passports/s/JCrTkHeBco
It’s month one.
Alley Stoughton@hacks4pancakes I just used the ACLU of Massachusetts contact from to say that if they need more plaintiffs for lawsuits about this, I’m willing to be one.
Edit: my change from M -> F was at a time when we needed a surgeon's letter attesting to irreversible genital surgery. It's outrageous that the Trump administration is trying to revoke this change for me and many others, and I have hope the courts will agree it's out of order.
@fullyabstract ACLU is fighting and currently buying time.
@hacks4pancakes I know, saw the NYT article last night.
