What to Know About Changing Your Name or Gender Marker on Your Government IDs | KQED As some trans people in the Bay Area accelerate their plans to legally change their names and gender markers, here's what to know about the legal aspects of updating your documentation — and the diffe...

I was so proud to work with one of the Bay Area’s best media outlets, @kqednews.kqed.org, on this thorough guide to name and gender changes.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc.

Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

This one is my all-time favorite.

I thought I woke up to another earthquake this morning, but the USGS says there wasn’t one in the Bay Area. So, it must have been a “Moosequake,” which is a geological phenomenon involving Pumpkin, our 90-pound dog/moose, moving enough while I’m sleeping that she shakes the whole bed.

It benefits them by quashing potential opposition through fear if people believe that people are already getting detained on buses or passports are getting revoked. Do not believe these types of posts unless the information is verifiable, and don’t repost things solely for signal boost purposes.

“I heard that…” or “my friend has a friend who…” or “I saw on social media…”.

There is a ton of right-wing misinformation flying around right now and a lot of it will intentionally be spread in leftist online spaces. Some of it is lies or fabrications, but a lot of it is spread by well-intentioned people not verifying information.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten what it was like from 2016-2020. DO NOT POST UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:

"No, make me."

They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

Hi Rob!

But! As expected, the form-filling software still permits gender marker self-selection. And will for quite some time.

Monday morning we are entering a new chapter in this country's history and we are entering it together, with our friends and principles held close and our eyes wide open.

Did I miss anything? This is a blatant manipulation of the Separation of Powers Doctrine and everyone should be extremely concerned. But, of course, most people will skip over all of this.

Then, someone who isn’t even President yet says that he’s going to issue an Executive Order, somehow superseding both a law and the Supreme Court decision, clearly overstepping executive power, and TikTok resumes operations.

Let me get this straight. A Republican-controlled Congress passed a law banning TikTok, an addictive but beloved app owned by a company likely selling all their user data to the highest bidder. The law went into effect and TikTok shut down, supported by a unanimous Supreme Court decision.

Yeah, I was pretty perplexed when I saw this this morning.

Why would this surprise anyone? They’re run by SF’s worst husband-wife team.

Back at you Ed! The world feels smaller than ever and I’ve been itching to go back to the UK.
