Trans women saying that the Department of State is retroactively revoking passports for “failing to disclose” gender reassignment surgery (which was never a requirement to reveal), sometimes from decades ago.

More of the New Conservative Cruelty, same as the old conservative cruelty.

Today I was denied a renewal of my US Passport and told I would need to get a judge to unseal child welfare records from Foster care in order to “prove” my US Citizenship. Despite having had all “Female” ID since 1999, they are now demanding “Proof of Transition” for the 1st time

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
