The US stopped allowing passport gender marker changes. Here are some of the people affected

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.”

Normally I would add a picture of the offended party, but...Yeah. No. 'Mellow' is a boy who thinks he is a girl. And his mother is 'cool' with that. ;)

“If the worst was to come to worst and things were to threaten my life,” she said, “I would have some way out.”

Shut The Heck Up!!

And no, that’s not what I said out loud...but ladies on the board and all.

Our side is Extremely live and let live...just don’t force it down our throats.

BTW, 19 out of 20 people who are not sure what “gender” they feel they are...decide they don’t want to change anything..if they are force to wait until 18 to decide.

But let’s not let facts get in the way.

The solution is quite simple - if you show up in a country and your sex doesn’t match the person presented, send them back because they’re an imposter.

“who is transgender” There is no such thing as a “transgender.” Do not allow the left to set a false premise and define the false argument.

Sex cannot be assigned at birth, only acknowledged.

There is a good chance he will go splodey or shoot up a high school. The you-know-whos did a lot of research on how to create psychosis, split personalities and break down the self, research carried on in this country after the war. They are ticking time-bombs. Some of them have already gone off.

I don’t know if it is even possible ordinarily to get them to come back, to be pissed off at the people who did this to him or not. We’re gonna find out.

at odds with major medical groups

And all of them should be stripped of all medical licenses, you can NOT change a boy into a girl and vice versa.

Please. There is so much propaganda to frighten the LGBT people. Young and brainwashed. I hope nobody beats on him/her but it’s more likely that one of his/her sex partners will harm him than any person who hates gays, just like women are most likely to be victims from their boyfriends or spouses. Not to mention plenty of ordinary life risks.

But I respect this person’s right to self defense. For this particular fear, a pistol with a high capacity magazine is probably better than a passport. And a shotgun with a drum magazine under the bed.

The State Department also replaced its webpage with information for “LGBTQI+” travelers to just “LGB,” removing any reference to transgender or intersex people.

About halfway there. Now lets get rid of the "LGB" part, also.

From a Google search:

“According the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 44% of lesbian women and 61% of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime, compared to 35% of heterosexual women.”

The sooner we get this carbon-based lifeform out of our country, the better. No passport? No problem. Let it walk across the border OUT. Then it can wait for the next coming of the Biden administration to let it back in.

And the sooner we get it out the better, before it shoots up a school or does something equally as horrible because the mental illness needs an outlet.

This woman is likely not truthful. According to website, you cannot walk in without an appointment.
....,,,

An appointment is required to enter the passport agency. We are unable to accommodate walk-ins. You will not be allowed into the building if you do not have an appointment and your required documentation.

$10 - She did it to piss off the ex husband. Take half his stuff, string him for child support and the house, turn the kids against him…..icing on top - emasculate his son while be told how “brave” she is for raising two fairy freaks.

I don't quite understand. Get a passport that says male and leave the country. Seems like a sort of render-unto-ceaser case. Passport request genetic sex, give them the genetic sex. 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. I fail to see the issue.
