Many of you know that the administration is trying a lot of fuckery with US Passports and gender markers right now. They violated the Administrative Procedure Act by doing this without a comment period.

Right now, they are trying to cure the APA violation by having an after-the-fact comment period...

... you can go there RIGHT NOW and make your voice heard. The comments currently are overwhelmingly negative, opposing the administration's bigoted and harmful rule changes.

If you can, please go add your voice. You may think it will make no difference, but the courts can and will look at all of this. Your comment RIGHT NOW opposing passport sex marker nonsense can make you a part of yet another inevitable Trump loss in the court systems soon.

That was easy. I tend to get wordy, but here's what I wrote: Free for anyone to use and modify if they find any part of it useful.

@cjpaloma @deviantollam You are obviously correct, and I will be using this when I encounter alt-fact people. Thanks.

As an old guy, I recall when "masquerade" laws were common. Supposedly to prevent criminals from hiding their faces, the reality was that the laws were used against non-cis people. Cops would travel to LGBTQ-friendly place (like Hollywood Blvd.) and round up anyone in the "wrong" clothing.

We have made progress, but now we see how fragile that really is. Fight! Pass laws!
