      This is the third such story. It's becoming clear they're targeting trans activists.https://twitter.com/NatSecGeek/status/1023004226266587136 …

      Last week, the state department destroyed my paperwork, so now I have no passport, can't prove citizenship, and am going to lose benefits like my health insurance. Why? Because I'm trans.

      At this point, if you are trans I recommend the following: - retain a lawyer specializing in immigration matters - obtain multiple certified copies of any/all paperwork that you have to send - send everything by certified mail, require a signature and get a tracking #

      - cc your lawyer on all application materials by sending them a copy of everything in precisely the same manner. Make sure you the shipment to both the state department and your lawyer are on the same receipt.

      - If your name was changed by court order, include a certified copy of this order with a raised stamp. The State Department MUST honor this else they are in contempt of court.

      - the gender marker change is trickier but current guidelines say they must honor a medical professional's medical opinion. Get this, signed and notarized, by a doctor who has you in their care

      Yes, this is gonna run you a few hundred extra dollars. So cis people you better start shelling out since this is something we have to go through that you don't.

          - and finally: consider waiting this out. Gender marker changes on passports only recently became accessible. We've survived before and can survive again. Sending any gender change materials to the fascist federal government is a massive flag saying HI IM TRANS

          So far, all of these stories involve someone engaging with the system for a renewal, change, or similar. It does not appear that the State Department is going through a database and fucking with people. Yet.

          Your advice here is strong but I do not understand this, "So cis people you better start shelling out since this is something we have to go through that you don't." Can you explain?

          Yes, this is very easy: cis people don't have to ever get doctors' notes, certified copies of birth certificates, in order to do something that all people are legally entitled to. Trans people do. Trans people unjustly have an extra burden in both time and cost. Share the cost.

          But you are not asking allies you are saying cis must. Do you not see the issue here because there is not only one group burdened by oppression

          Yeah I don't see the issue here with cis people being expected to shoulder some of the burden that are being foisted upon trans people by cis authoritarians on a narrowly-defined issue.
