Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

A digital illustration: A giant purple woman with cloud shaped white hair is smiling down at a tiny girl in a boat. The boat is flowing down a waterfall that is coming out from the giant woman's chest. There are clouds passing by so we know we are high up in the air.

An illustration: A plus size black woman is floating in the sky in an elegant way, she has pink cloud-shaped hair and is holding a glowing star in her hand. She wears a black glittery dress, and her hair is decorated in stars.

An illustration of a hippo flying in the sky with their goddess friend. The hippo is decorated with golden jewellery. The goddess who is black, is wearing a soft green dress with a pink shawl, she's barefooted and wears golden jewellery. Her hair is silver and has been done up in loads of buns, decorated in a golden thread. She's holding a golden spear and it looks like their are both off to battle. The background is a vibrant blue with soft pink clouds passing them by. You can see several detailed stars dotted around the background.

Can you tell I'm a sucker for dreamy vibes ☁️✨
