    The PS1 startup sound, but as a lesbian‏Verified account @zenalbatross 25 Jul 2018

    Wow. The U.S. passport office just called and told me that due to an “error,” the government has *retroactively invalidated* the change of gender marker it authorized on my passport last year. They won’t renew my passport w/ correct name & gender until i submit a new doctors note

        I’ve been hearing horror stories about the gov’t refusing to renew trans people’s passports and demanding they “re-verify” their gender, so i included a copy of my doctors letter just in case. Apparently that wasn’t enough. They now want me to redraft w/ diff language. 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Essentially the govt is claiming the doctors letter — which uses the same language as hundreds of other letters my clinic gives out to trans patients — doesn’t meet requirements for a passport gender change I have a feeling we are about to see more of this gatekeeping very soon.

        Reminder: You are who you say you are. Any person or government which claims authority over your identity is illegitimate (read: all governments) Here is another, worse case from a month ago where a trans woman was forced to “prove” her gender change - https://twitter.com/danniaskini/status/1012835342183874560?s=21 …

      5. The PS1 startup sound, but as a lesbian‏Verified account @zenalbatross 25 Jul 2018

        To be clear - the government *already authorized my passport gender marker change last year* — even if the requirements didn’t change, my trans status triggered a review that resulted in my *entirely unrelated* passport name change application being delayed. This is gatekeeping.

        i do appreciate the intent of folks saying “call your senator” etc, but asking a trans person to have any faith in this political system is kind of a fucking joke. this isn’t about one administration; it’s about decades of anti-trans animus manifesting as administrative violence

        the worst part is i know that everyone who had my clinic write letters for them is about to get the same bullshit, because this language has worked for years

        thanks 🖤 i always tell cis people to just help validate our anger and point out that this is discriminatory gatekeeping that cis folks don’t need to deal with
