Remember, erasure of visibly Trans people and of Trans existence under the law are both critical components to the current active genocide of Trans, gender expansive, and intersex Americans. This is not a drill. We are being eradicated visibly, socially, legally, medically, epistemologically, and psychologically, RIGHT NOW. This is not a cautionary tale.
THIS IS WHAT GENOCIDE LOOKS LIKE WHILE IT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
So are there going to be any consequences for the administration for their having done this? Can this be litigated? It seems they will do whatever they can get away with.
AFAIK it has been litigated and these are the consequences. Since these were official acts by the Administration, it's up to Congress to add further consequences, and the only real consequence they could impose would be impeachment, which, I regret to say, I don't think is likely to happen.
Thank you Erin, for keeping me updated on the shitstorm of hate that this administration keeps creating. Every word that comes out of his orange mouth makes me want to vomit. But you are one of the few ethical journalists out there that covers all of the ways that His Nastiness tries to erase and eradicate. I am grateful for you.
Interesting that they did not put this disgusting warning on the DOS site regarding "sex markers on passports." (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/passport-help/sex-marker.html) I was amazed, last week, to see that they had actually reinstated information regarding gender markers on passports. After the initial EO on 1/20 "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," they wiped all mention of X markers—as well as mention of all changed gender markers—on passports from the DOS site. We were told by the press secretary and Rubio that X markers—as well as markers not in line with assigned-at-birth sex—would continue to be valid on passports that already had them until those passports expired. But until sometime last week, there was NOTHING on the DOS web page to verify that information. Apparently there are still some good people at DOS, who are risking their jobs to include pertinent legal information for trans people on the DOS site. I'm sure they will be fired any minute.
I suppose having a government website clearly emblazoned with a Trump temper tantrum might increase the credibility of the information on it to anyone who isn't part of his gender cult.
This has all the energy of a petulant spoiled brat breaking a toy because they didn't want to share it, even though they weren't playing with it before the other kid picked it up.
"Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female,"
I literally see the prices of eggs going down. lol
Welp. (rolls up sleeves) That gives me the energy to work twice as hard to piss off as many fascists as I can. Did I say I was stubborn and a bitch to deal with? Oh, that's right y'all know me too well already. LOL. I may be cis, but I will never, ever stop being as big a PITA to Discount Fuhrer and his cronies as long as I live!
The anti-trans header is basically a tantrum that they can’t just be anti-trans fascists without getting punished. Womp womp
They still left off the T
… I still haven’t figured out how politicians have say in medical procedures, it just boggles my mind.
Which means that they are in violation of the court order.
nobody is enforcing laws against that asshole, everyone that could is obviously complicit.
Politicians or insurance companies. If my doctor says I need it that should be it.
When did legislators decide to take away my parental rights, medical rights and physician rights. Like you it is so boggling.
"Perhaps Trump's day one EO had some truth to it after all. "Gender ideology," it declared, "is internally inconsistent.""
Solid deep cut.
What a bunch of petty , cruel children.
Insult upon injury. Injury upon insult, I wish it would just end.
Agreed. I'm so exhausted by the ignorance and hate. 😔

That reminds me of the way a 5 year old reacts when forced to apologize for something. "I'm sorry, but..."
Total lack of maturity.

Totally agree 💯

Thanks for sharing that page! Like you said, it's really great to have confirmation of the policy in writing on an official page.
It's literally impossible to roll my eyes hard enough to express how dumb and petty those headers are. 🙄

Oh the petty! Such a large man to be so small.
