I have obtained TSA pre-check with my correct gender marker on my passport!
The Clear employee who helped me was very nice, I got some queer / trans / non-binary vibes from them.
I got my passport before the anti-trans U.S. executive order. I knew the guidance from TSA is that my passport is valid until it expires, but I wasn't sure whether they would allow me to get TSA pre-check with it.
I hope this helps other trans folks. Please boost!
Does this person named Sarah McBride look like someone you would introduce as “Mister McBride”?
That is what Republicans are now doing on the US House floor to demonstrate their contempt for humans who are transgender.
A big compliment to Sarah for not taking the bait, and instead just delivering the punches she came to deliver.

Today's Seattle Children's Hospital protest in support of gender affirming care for trans youth was 
awesome
- There were at least 900 people there! 
- So many cars honking and waving!
- Exactly *one* car flipping us off! 😘

Today I blocked a newly-created bot account on Instagram who commented on a reel: “You’re brave to post this so soon after you transitioned.”
What this tells me is that transgender people are absolutely being singled out and targeted. I already know this has been happening, but I mention it here bc bots are designed to goad people into engaging.
Engagement = visibility
Visibility = tracking
Tracking = erasure/extermination
This timeline sucks. Megalomania is deadly.
Please spread and add information. People are building a wiki with escape routes for trans persons from the #USA:

Don't panic, get organized! My latest article for @deceleration is out, about the attacks on #LGBTQIA+ rights at the #Texas Legislature and what you can do about it (and what others are doing too).

I just migrated here from SecondUniverse@neurodifferent.me, so as a quick introduction... I am a trans woman. I transitioned back in the nineties before the world declared war on us. I was diagnosed with autism in my fifties, and more recently I have self diagnosed myself as having CPTSD. I post about astronomy, game development, trans issues, mental health, autism, and writing. #trans #actuallyAutistic #writing #mentalHealth #gameDev

As an aging #genX person let me be clear: if you’re my age and don’t support #trans rights, you’ve missed the fucking point. We’re the generation that created #cyberpunk as a genre. There is *nothing* more cyberpunk than self selecting your gender identity. 🏳️⚧️
