Remember all those people saying "Get out if you can."

Well, about that.

That's going to be harder.

Calling all US residents!!

The Federal government has opened the comment period on the proposed change to passport rules requiring that a person provide their assigned sex at birth on passport applications rather than their stated gender as it has been before.

Go to this site and provide comment! https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/14/2025-02648/30-day-notice-of-proposed-information-collection-application-for-a-us-passport

Federal Register :: Request Access

Your comment can be as short as “I oppose the rule change requiring sex assigned at birth for passport applications”.

Sure, this may not do anything to stop the change from happening. BUT IT IS STILL IMPORTANT. Every comment left on the Federal Register is a matter of public record. Your comment helps to change the narrative that this is what “The People” want their government to be doing. Make it clear that if they make this rule change they are doing it against the wishes of the people.

There is a 30 day comment window and most of it has passed. It ends March 17th 2025, in just 11 days!! So get commenting!

And spread this everywhere! If your reblog one post today, make it this one!

Advice to fellow Americans:

If you don't have one already, buy a passport.

Not necessarily to get out of the country; though it never hurts to have a bugout plan just in case, and on a light note I always recommend traveling if you can.

I'm recommending because it's about as rock solid of documentation as you can have. To the point that it frequently functions as a one-for-two when places like a job application ask for ID *and* proof of residency.

And to be blunt, especially if you're not white, it's about as rock solid of proof of citizenship as you can get.

Oh, and if you want a cheaper and more portable option, a passport card meets all of the same standards as a passport. The only thing is that it can't be used for international travel via plane; it's only good for Mexico and Canada by land/ferry, as well as some Carribean countries by cruise.
