      I looked it up, my understanding is US passports are currently issued with your “assigned sex at birth”, i.e. not your gender or biological sex.

      Basically, the passport isn’t showing your gender.

        No, it’s showing what’s in my pants. Or was in my pants at birth if I’ve had an operation. And if my gender presentation doesn’t match someone’s expectations, it means I will potentially get detained or harassed. Or possibly even arrested depending on the country.

        So the intent is to hurt the trans community. And being all, ‘well actually’ about it being sex assigned at birth feels like a bad faith take.

        Which is why you’re getting downvoted.

        You know what I mean and it’s meant to out and punish transgender Americans for daring to live their lives without being persecuted. At best, it’s going to cause a massive headache for those whose looks no longer match their AGAB.

          Gender is sociology. Essentially caste and class roles.

          Sex is biology.

          Folks that like to conflate the two want gender roles to be immutable.

          I don’t think so. I think if someone wants to change their gender that’s their business. It’s not something I’d want to do but calling it weird seems kind of judgy.
