Because it very clearly does affect trans women? So either you’re not paying attention or you’re denying trans women their womanhood. Either way, downvote.
The order… directs the State Department… to “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately,” one of the officials said.
That’s fucking terrible and possibly detrimental for the mental health of trans people.
If you have a passport or drivers license that says “M” and you are in a dress and full face of makeup, are you physically safe?
I have a drivers license that says “M” and have a beard. This EO (and state law) say that it should have an “F.” When I was a broke college student, and it did say “F” but I had a beard, I could barely find work scrubbing shit off bleachers with face tattooed ex cons. I had to do sex work. If I get to that point again I will just kill myself. And I did just lose my job lol.
Background checks still occasionally fuck me - I had a job let me work there for a week and then they tried not to pay me because the background check revealed I was trans. I spent months fighting for money, because I was ducking desperate, because I was going through a divorce where I was getting fucked for being a crazy tranny there too.
Documentation fucking matters. This is how they are trying to kill us.

How? Trans women are women.
If you missed it in the article:

I’m confused. Does a passport list your sex or your gender?

The article quote I linked says sex. If a person is pre-op or not choosing surgery, they will forced to have the wrong gender on their docs.
I’m in Canada, your docs say what you identify as under “sex”.
