A good reminder for folks to get their passports and birth records corrected post haste. Don’t be afraid to seek assistance and/or mutual aid for the cost.

IANAL but legal documents should retain validity under Article I (ex post facto) so long as you pre-empt legislation barring gender amendment.

If you want to be extra proactive, make sure your medical records reflect the correct gender and your providers use the male/female hypogonadism diagnosis.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Cybrpwca,

I keep trying to vote Cruz out, but no matter how many times I smash the button it only counts one vote.

Have you tried committing election and voter fraud like the Republicans?

    ah, yes. because respecting someone’s identity and being willfully evil by refusing to are exactly the same things, yup. Brilliant deduction there, sir Watson!

    Freedom of speech my ass. You just want to be an asshole without facing the consequences.

    Kyre,

    I was confused because the original post now says "deleted_by_moderator" and I thought this was in response to that comment. Ha.

    rgb3x3,

    Are you a man? Would you enjoy someone calling you ma’am?

    Are you a woman? Would you enjoy someone calling you sir?

    How about even after you’ve corrected them repeatedly?

    How about even when you know they’re doing it specifically because they don’t respect that you’re a man/woman because they hate men/women?

    if this is your take on misgendering, i don’t think you’re going to last very long here and this may not be the community for you.

    It won't pass, but it's a reminder of what they will do when in power.

    Please vote.

    I work in the public sector myself (though in a different country). I constantly find myself wondering if this is in my future too.

    KyuubiNoKitsune,

    If you’re in Europe, then with the way things are going in a lot of countries here, I wonder the same.

    jarfil,

    Here in Spain we just got a progressive left leaning coalition government… that right the other day split into a “trans-inclusive feminist march” and a “trans-exclusive feminist march”, with the populist right-wing addon march of “the country is breaking apart”.

    It’s critical that people understand that the campaign to grow fascism does not recognize borders, it is a global effort and right-wing groups copy eachothers homework.

    When you see some right-wing bullshit succeed in one country you can be sure that the extremists wherever you live are bound to try and emulate it in one fashion or another.

    I’m well aware. I know the effort will be made, but whether it happens depends on political outcomes here.

    I’m not just saying this flippantly, as I can garner enough info from our past interactions to give specific-enough advice. You should join the public sector union. I know past and present members closely. I have a trans friend who got their help getting a manager who wouldn’t use her correct pronouns reprimanded by HR. My mum was also a member for over a decade.

    I completely agree with where you’re at, and I’m really sorry that you’re living with this fear. I do believe though that a strong public sector union, with queer members in its ranks, would be capable of fighting the government on it. The construction union where I’m at showed up in force to protect trans folks from the alt-right at a TDOV rally.

    My experience with my union hasn’t been great. I was a member, and when I needed their assistance (not about anything trans related), they were completely non helpful. They brushed me off, asked for my employers version of events (airing my grievance with my employer without my consent), and then closed the issue down as soon as my employer gave a reply.

    Ugh, I’m really sorry, that’s the worst.

    Lmao, what losers, like they could do anything to build support among their voters and they’re out here trying to gin up support by stoking transphobia.

    They are the party if fear of anyone different, so if they started being accepting then they wouldn't be able to demonize the Dems.
