The day after President Donald Trump returned to office, Lisa Suhay took her 21-year-old daughter, Mellow, to a passport office in Norfolk, Virginia, where they live.
Getting a passport for Mellow, who is transgender, was urgent.
In an executive order Trump signed the night before, the president used a narrow definition of the sexes instead of a broader conception of gender. The order says a person is male or female and it rejects the idea that someone can transition from the sex assigned at birth to another gender. The framing is in line with many conservatives' views but at odds with major medical groups and policies under former President Joe Biden.
Her family wants Mellow to be able to leave the country if things became unbearable for transgender people in the U.S. as the federal government increasingly moves not to recognize them.
“If the worst was to come to worst and things were to threaten my life,” she said, “I would have some way out.”

As always, no mention of a father. Just an attention-mad mother.

They are whining because they are not being affirmed. They feel.they are being treated like creatures.
Well, Here goes, I affirm, your mental state is out of whack.
If you get arrested in another country and they strip search you how can they be sure they ha e the right person if your passport say "x"? Or female and you have junk hanging?
That's FRAUD!!!!!
You want the U.S. to acknowledge your fraud and affirm your being a fraud?

You can’t change the facts of your birth...and such choices shouldn’t be codified by law.

Her HIS family wants Mellow to be able to leave the country if things became unbearable for transgender people in the U.S. as the federal government increasingly moves not to recognize them. No one is stopping him from leaving the country, or from getting a passport. We just won't allow him to lie on his passport application. Nor will we be forced to accept his Delusions of Gender.

“You are asked for your legal name, you give your legal name, you don’t whine that you aren’t allowed to give your childhood nickname.”
But what if my given name really IS, ‘Pookie Abrahamowicz?’ ;)
Just kidding. People sure can wrap themselves around the axle, can’t they?
