    Imagine being trans, trying to get your passport changed. That's $170. It gets denied because the clerk who received your forms is a bigot.

        You just have to keep spending $170 hoping you get someone who's not.

        Imagine being trans. You live in rural Virginia. You file a name change request. The Clerk of Court refuses to sign it. You have to move.

        Imagine being gay and trying to leave an opposite-sex marriage. The bigoted judge denies your claims. You're left with nothing.

        All of these things have happened, by the way. This isn't fearmongering. This is recent progress at risk of being undone.

        $540 for the green card. Then wait for months without any updates while all this stuff is getting signed. I'm in a great place emotionally.

        Shit... I'm rather convinced the clerk I got "forgot" to include my doctor's letter with my app; government said they never got first one.

        Being trans in this country was already difficult. Progress was made, and in just over 100 days it's all gone. A reason to be depressed af 😢
