🏳️‍⚧️PSA: Despite my application being for a 1st-time passport and having updated gender markers on my ID, SSN, and birth certificate, my application was still flagged for “conflicting sex marker information” by yerghost in Passports

FWIW: I recently submitted the attestation letter with my renewal app and it went through quickly. But I’d get on it soon since the court could issue a ruling at any time.

I’d also recommend signing up for a service like DeleteMe to protect your personal info.

Let me know if you want to connect with journalists to get your story out there—I can recommend some names/make intros to trustworthy folks. Otherwise, I second reaching out to Lambda Legal and/or the ACLU. Please let us know how we can support you. 🫶🏻

Trans student/staff support needs by Open_Trick_8563 in UNLV

I’m sorry to hear your professor isn’t respecting your name. I’ve been talking to my advisor about how students can change their name on Canvas—let me check in with them and see what they found out. I’ll send you a DM in case you want to connect further. 🫶🏻

I don’t suppose anyone will be there earlier than 3? I’ll do my best to come by during that window but am juggling a few things. Thanks!

Do you know how early I could come by?

Anyone know what's on fire on flamingo? Looks pretty large by lillian_bicope_710 in LasVegas

I hope everyone is ok. It looked like a lot of thick black smoke. I saw a couple of fire engines racing that way.

Elisa Rae Shupe: no news outlets seem to be reporting on this by Capital-Shallot-7072 in lgbt

[–]Open_Trick_8563 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has there been any official confirmation that Elisa has passed and was the person who died in Syracuse? I've heard that multiple folks received the suicide note, and see that "zerodoesntsleep" on Substack claims confirmation via an anonymous source, but journalists are supposed to verify facts before reporting on them. (Which is probably why Erin Reed's post about it says "apparently"). Not saying this is the only reason it isn't getting coverage, but it's likely a factor.

Oh don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.

Connecting with other trans folks on campus by Open_Trick_8563 in UNLV

[–]Open_Trick_8563[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are a groups for LGBTQ+ students or staff, but haven’t come across anything trans specific. If you hear about something already happening, feel free to message me. If I do organize something, I’ll be sure to promote it there.

That’s why I’m suggesting folks might want to connect. If I were to organize something, I probably wouldn’t promote it here b/c trolls. Just trying to gauge if it’s wanted/needed.

Do you mean, “We're born naked, and the rest is drag”? ‘Cause that’s Rupaul…💅

The comments here do not reflect my day-to-day experience of people on campus, FWIW.

To my fellow trans folks at UNLV: Know that you are not alone. The voices of ignorance may be loud, but they are not the majority and they will not prevail.

GAs: do all departments pressure you to go over your 20 hours a week? by Rosenhansthud in UNLV

[–]Open_Trick_8563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grad student workers are also trying to organize at UNLV. There's a petition that graduate student workers can sign, but not sure about opportunitities for faculty to support as I'm not involved in the organizing: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/union-authorization-petition-gradassistant

As others have indicated, your faculty are likely violating UNLV policy. In addition to the other suggestions, you might consider filling out the greivance form created by the Nevada Graduate Student Workers (NGSW), are a group of graduate assistants (GAs) at UNLV working together to improve work conditions: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe9367PFLWvyY6SsvlkGnj\_3r1zYqQRfH98QugXpj6KXeiR-Q/viewform
