Outfit I wore to the tea party at Omnia Vanitas. It took me a while to get proper photos of this, but I’m so happy I did. I went properly overboard with the lily of the valley motif with this one.
For the first time in U.S. history, driver's licenses and ID cards will offer an "X" gender alongside male and female.
Oregon made history on Thursday. It’s the first state to offer a third, nonbinary gender option on all official driver’s licenses and other identity documents.
Now, Oregonians applying for a license or a state ID card can choose their gender marker to be male, female, or “X” for people who don’t want to list themselves as either of those categories, like nonbinary or agender folks, intersex people, and others.
For Army veteran Jamie Shupe, who in June 2016 became the nation’s first person to legally change their gender to non-binary, it’s the culmination of an emotional, exciting year.
“I’ve trembled with the fear of failure and cried tears until I had no more tears to cry, because of the magnitude of what’s been at stake — and now won,” Shupe told NBC News. “But in the end, the huge legal and non-binary civil rights battle that I expected to unfold going into this never came to pass; simply because this was always the right thing to do all along.” […]
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which develops standards for the production of passports, has included a recommendation for the “X” field since 1996. In a document provided to NBC News by ICAO, the standards say that sex is “to be specified by the use of the single initial commonly used in the language of the State where the document is issued … the capital letter F for female, M for male, or X for unspecified.”
Citizens of Australia and New Zealand already have the option to choose “X” on their passports, and in India passport applicants can pick Male, Female or Eunuch. It’s not limited to passports: Also in India, voter registration cards can now read “O” for “Other,” and in Canada, Ontario’s government became the first in North America to allow “X” in the sex field.
and it has its right paw up! the correct paw for this.
and from the markings on its ears, it looks like it might be a calico cat. which is the luckiest kind!
Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
