      So.. sometime in the last two days, the US government page on changing gender designation on a passport was alterted, replacing all language referring to "Gender Designation" with "Sex Designation" & adding text explicitly specifying "sex change to male or female" across the page pic.twitter.com/o7pVHFqeyd

      Would any of you mind explaining the intended outcome of these changes? I have some assumptions, given our current political climate but my assumptions are still limited to my perspectives. Gender Designation vs Sex Designation? And the detailed physician requirements?

      Ultimately, many believe this to be part of a plan implemented by Family Research Council to deny trans people rights. This policy change mirrors point 1:https://www.huffingtonpost.com/brynn-tannehill/and-then-they-came-for-tr_b_9258678.html …

          Ultimately, this language co-opts the clumsy distinctions many, including many trans activists, have made over the years between sex and gender. These distinctions are erroneous and harmful, and this is one way that the well-intentioned effort has been leveraged for harm.

          Sex and gender are both social constructs, and the *impact* of differentiating sex and gender has been to use one concept (sex) to codify policies against transgender people.

          The language of the policy change makes that clear. “Oh, we’re not judging your *gender*, we’re just judging your sex, so it’s fine, ignore all the very real social and legal implications that this ‘sex marker’ has on how you move through the world.”

          The detailed medical requirements are a form of hate keeping. Not all trans folks have access to this kind of medical care. And not all physicians are willing to sign papers containing this kind of language, for fear of reprisal or liability.

          Furthermore, not all trans people can or want to medically transition. That is not sufficient reason to deny them access to accurate identification necessary for them to exist in public.

          Finally, the new requirements cast a lot of uncertainty on people who have already gone through all of these processes. Not every state allows easy name/gender marker changes. Some places are very expensive. Some states require you to publish your name change, which can be unsafe

          Thx for taking the time to help me and others better understand the challenges, to your very humanity, that the trans community faces As a Black woman, the trans community is the one group that is as vulnerable as we are and I'm committed to finding ways to amplify your voices

          Can we officially declare the Family Research Council a Christian terrorist organization?
