I went to my passport interview this morning and they made me X out the F on my application and write in M and initial it swear it was true or no passport. Despite my real id saying F and me presenting a legal state court document saying that my sex had changed.
I crossed my fingers and said yes and then after she took my money she told me it was likely to get rejected because of the gender mismatch.
so tired of these people.
she also stapled my original birth certificate which i thought was rude af!
🫂 I’m sorry you’re dealing with this BS. I hope it gets through in case you need it.
Also like, wasn’t there a freaking order from a federal judge saying passports had to be issued with the correct, updated gender for trans people and not your birth sex?! Did that get overruled or were they just in flagrant violation of the law? Neither would surprise me, shit just moves so fast nowadays I don’t know if I’m out of date.
That’s what I thought as well which is why i was trying to get it done. When i asked about that she just said it was like this ‘because of trump’. After telling her I wasn’t a man and didn’t want to swear that I was, she made it very clear she was not going to accept my application with an F on it. I was getting flustered at that point so i just submit to the ignominy. There was a big line of folks behind me.
I figured trying to get it fixed is better than not having one at all if an opportunity to leave comes up.
I live in one of the most queer cities in the country too I don’t think she was a transphobe just your average grumpy clerk.

Not a transphobe a year ago. Now a pro transphobe!
