Cis folks, just so you're aware of how bad things are for trans folks: I went in for a doctor's appointment at a trans-friendly clinic, and the doctor asked me if I had my passport corrected with the right gender. My doctor is concerned about the safety of her patients.

I replied that it was unchanged, because U.S. passports don't have a non-binary gender marker. I'd rather fly under the radar until they have a better option. The picture shows me with short hair, so at least that's matching.

I also told her it was an awful week for the mandatory mood survey. She glanced at it, and gently said, "It's better than I expected." Apparently being down half of the days in two weeks is better than the average trans person right now.
