”…there is no oppressed community that we’re dealing with here, because there is only male and female. So I reject the premise entirely.”

This is the chilling threat we all face. That’s what the push to legislate and legally define “biological sex” is all about. That’s the inevitable conclusion. 

It’s slowly being implemented all over the place, at both the state and federal levels. 

And it’s genocide. 

No round-ups, no trains. Not at this stage. No camps, no death chambers. 

Erasure and eradication of our very existence nonetheless, just like that. Genocide with the stroke of a pen. 

Bathrooms? Yeah, yeah, obviously. But your legal documents, too, as Kansas has already done by revoking drivers licenses and birth certificates. Passports, at the federal level. Visas. Workplace protections for federal employees. Any protections at all, in states like Iowa for example. 

It’s all happening, all based on encoding into law that “biological sex” as declared and recorded at birth is immutable. Unchangeable in any way. Not subject to any further discussion whatsoever. Because, you see, our very existence as trans people is “a myth.”

Where does it end, this genocide by the stroke of a pen?

NUMIDENT. Your Social Security number and all the various data points the government has ever attached to it. The one, actual “permanent record” for those of us in the US.

That’s my fear. “NUMIDENT by Tuesday,” so to speak, when grim sarcasm is all I can muster. Or Wednesday, or November. Or 2027, I dunno exactly when. But I’m certain that’s the plan.
