@erininthemorning.com I am moving to Europe and need to change the marker and name on my BC from Ohio. I know it's basically flipping a coin to see if the judge will do it, but I'm worried about whether it is SAFE. How likely is it that Trumpists will find out and then cancel my passport?

Trump is working to restrict trans rights. Thatโ€™s not what Americans want. A new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll shows a disconnect between Trumpโ€™s aggressive anti-trans policies and what Americans want from their politicians.

A new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll shows that the number of people who donโ€™t want politicians to focus on trans issues has grown, fueled by both Republicans and Democrats.

Pritzker: Itโ€™s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who donโ€™t know how to organize a group chat. Itโ€™s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of childrenโ€™s cancer researchโ€ฆ Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society donโ€™t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members donโ€™t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they canโ€™t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

It should be easy for progressives to dominate the right on trans issues In 2016, a trans woman by the name of Tara Hudson was sent to a menโ€™s prison in the UK. This resulted in a large backlash by the publicโ€ฆ

I thought I should probably make a post if I want anyone else to do so. My FB account was hacked and disabled and Meta sure does not make it easy to put it back together. So I'm here for now, until I can create a new one.
