US Government Policy Male/Female genders only

[rodinuk]

Trump said in his inauguration speech:

” As of today it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders - male and female”

That being said, Thailand has recognized a "Third Gender" in their Constitution

He's clearly trying to make America bi-gendered now with no gray areas.

What's the consensus here, will there be less new ts women in the next coming years?

What if Bill Smith is a 22 year old fem boi and he wants to transition?

The new ts women I really like. They often have serious libido and make buckets of the warm and sticky, salt and sweet.

What are we thinking? Time to move 2 Canada?

How does gender polarity affect transgender females? Or trans males come to that?

Surely it only matters to people who present as non-binary or x?

I had to dig out my old login details for this!...

I think this thread is not seeing the wood for the trees. In part because the original post contains the following quote, that does not reflect the changes that Trump, and all his other fascists ass-hats are making, and have already made.

” As of today it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders - male and female”

When they say "gender", they do not mean it in the same way that we do.

The changes that are being implemented basically define sex as binary, and as being based on whether the "reproductive cell" an individual produces, is large or small. They say that sex is unchangeable, whereas gender identity is all made up and has no biological basis. Basically, that the concept of gender is nonsense... In other words, they are ignoring a great deal of science that says that sex is not binary, and that gender has a physiological basis. Oh, and you folks who are physically incapable of producing those oh so important cells? As usual, just like compassion and empathy, nuance does not factor into the thinking of the far right, because they are not capable of such things.

They're pushing their own agenda, regardless of what the science says, because they hate anyone who is not a white, heterosexual, conservative, christian, male. And to believe otherwise, is to risk suffocating from all the sand covering your head.

Make no mistake about it.... they hate every single person on this forum. They hate the trans people, and they hate those of us who see trans-people, or any one of all the wonderful, complex, and different people that inhabit this rock, as anything more than subhuman.

If you are in the USA, and your not scared shitless by what is happening at the moment, then I urge you to educate yourself by reading what they plan to do, in their own words, in the form of Project 2025. Because, at the risk of laboring the point... if they stay true to their word. Then one day, your time will come. Be it against the wall, at the end of a rope, in a gas chamber, or if you're really lucky, they might just leave you to rot in the gulag.

You've been a member of this forum for over 7 years and you need to ask why it matters that a trans person is required to be officially identified according to their biological sex?

Evidently it matters to Trump (or the people backing him). Why else would it have been among the first things he did?

Thanks, I didn't realise he wanted to stick to birth gender. I (clearly wrongly) assumed that someone who presents and identifies as a female now would be recognised as a female. I thought the issue was with non-binary etc. Naive I know.

The religious right in the US would never accept that. They regard transexuality as either a sin against god, a form of sexual deviance or, at best, a mental illness.

I doubt that Trump has any strong personal view, but the religious fundamentalists are his most reliable support base so he wants to keep them happy. It looks like he won't give them a national abortion ban because it's too unpopular, so he'll be looking for other things to compensate. Trans people are always an easy target, so we can expect to see more of this.

Article on how this policy is affecting trans people applying for passports.
Trump’s new passport rules are trapping transgender Americans in bureaucratic limbo

I was at a luncheon this week and was told the passports being held had legitimate paperwork issues. Others who did not have paperwork issues have gone through.

I have to get mine done soon. My biggest issue has to do with an open estate which is causing me to hold off on things.

There’re already reports of trans women who applied for passports (both new and renewals) receiving passport booklets with an “M” instead of “F” listed, even though they’ve previously changed their gender marker in state documents and amended their birth certificates. That is fucked on so many levels because it can put them in danger when traveling internally and creates inconsistent legal documents.

I don't think there's any ambiguity about the policy.
"On January 20, 2025, the US Department of State stopped processing passport applications and issuing new passports with the marker X, which denotes unspecified or other gender identities, as well as passports with gender markers that do not match the applicant’s sex assigned at birth."

Even if people have amended their birth certificate I assume there must be some official record of the original sex at birth.

I would think the biggest problems would be for those travelling to LGBT-intolerant countries. This policy means the US government will be officially 'outing' them.

Exactly.

Judging by the overwhelming response of HA members to this thread, I'd say there's no way the USA is going to drift into autocracy in a haze of indifference (sarcasm intended). Perhaps they will will wake up only their porn is banned, as also proposed by Project 2025.
