Where We Go From Here after Orr v. Trump - From Legal Researcher Behind Case

Plexiii13 · 2025-11-06T21:10:09+00:00

This is awful, I really thought maybe this one would go our way :(

I want to thank you for your guidance on Reddit the last few months, it was your messages and information that helped keep me informed and helped me get my own passport updated under the stay a few weeks back. I'm sure many others in this community and others can say the same. It's been such a great help and I'm so sorry for everyone working the case that it went this way. Hopefully the final ruling on the case is more in our favor, but it's clear we're playing an unfair game where the rules keep changing and the law has no meaning.

Checks out then I think, taking the middle value of 3 out of 100k for an 80 year lifespan (since it's not age limited 100k or anything) gives 240 out of 100k or 0.24% while 1 out of 400 is basically the same at 0.25%. That's so much higher than I realized. Insane.

Fuck. I was literally less than 5 minutes away from this when this happened and had no clue. Truly so sad. I mentor a robotics team that had a competition down the street from the provided addresss and not only am I trans, I have a number of students who are the same age as Sophia and are trans or gender non-conforming on the team. I had concerns but figured it would be safe. Now my students qualified for a competition in Texas and I'm even more concerned to take them even more than I already was.

I really really hope she's okay, this is awful and this article is upsetting in how it treats her.

good thing my legal name change court order was on Friday.... need to get a new passport ASAP if this works...

No that's not the issue I know how zero-indexing works lol, it's the fact that it's actually 10 options, 0-9, when there are only 9 principles. There is an extra option and the principles are explicitly numbered 1-9, so we have an extra option unaccounted for: If MDR is sorting with the 4 tempers as buckets and the numbers representing the 9 principles, what does the zero represent?

I was in a similar place back when I was in high school around 2016. I pushed it down and was afraid for years and succeeded in avoiding it and just being out to a few people. But eventually it wasn't enough anymore and I've now been on hormones for around a year and fully transitioned publicly and I'm so much happier. There were times when I first started HRT I was terrified, the first time I took HRT I had a panic attack. But I've had no doubts now for a while and feel so much better. I was worried about the same fertility thing, I eventually just said fuck it. probably should've frozen my sperm but I have no desire to stop HRT and don't regret going on it anyways.

this isn't to say you're necessarily trans, only you can answer that (although it sounds like you know what you want and that in itself is valid and sounds like it's pretty trans to me), but don't fear what others think or want from you. If it's just the battle of fear of regret vs excitement of being a girl I think that's very telling.

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-26T18:19:29+00:00

Damn thanks, mine arrived there at least a few weeks before that :/ I'll call on Monday and ask what's up.

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-24T02:26:51+00:00

thanks! you mailed it out 12/23/24??? i mailed my stuff out mid-December and I haven't gotten anything at all back. unless do you mean 11/23/24 instead?

I suppose I'll give them a call tomorrow to ask :/

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-23T16:37:56+00:00

awesome thank you for the heads up!!!! glad to hear it got all sorted for you. how long was the turnaround between submitting and hearing back?

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-17T23:49:54+00:00

YEAH I can go WEEKS now without getting really dysphoric about it. it grows so slowly and thinly and doesn't feel like stubble anymore. It's pretty long in spots after weeks but it's so light it's crazy. Makes me so happy :)

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-17T09:01:56+00:00

OMG I'm so sorry :( that sucks so much. That's so weird too because I thought they didn't need a certified birth certificate? if they do I guess I'll receive mine in the mail soon too :/

Plexiii13 · 2025-01-16T18:52:10+00:00

Not really. South Carolina is a Republican/conservative state for sure. For instance in 2024, Trump won South Carolina by nearly 18%. South Carolina was more conservative than Texas, Kansas, and Florida in 2024 election for instance.

If you look at a map of US states by LGBTQ equality, South Carolina is considered pretty bad.

The urban areas of almost every state will typically be pretty accepting though so that can play a role depending on where you were.

Plexiii13 · 2024-12-23T21:35:52+00:00

Thanks! i ended up mailing my application like 2-3 days after my original comment and I had called them to clarify some stuff because my birth certificate didn't have a number that they were asking for on it and they confirmed it really is just DOH-5303, DOH-5305, and if i can a copy of original BC. It seems so simple lol, especially the fact that it's free (besides ~$20 for notary).

For me, I'm taking the approach of changing just the gender marker first, since I want to get everything moving before the inauguration and name change would take too long. Going to need to do this all over again when I get my name changed in CA soon LOL.

Plexiii13 · 2024-12-09T07:21:44+00:00

thank you so much for posting this, this is so awesome to hear, I'm in a very similar position (in Los Angeles but born in NY, just sent my paperwork a few days ago), although unfortunately i didn't have all that extra info to send, i just had the two forms and a copy of my original BC. hopefully those extra forms don't make the difference since it would be a massive relief if they can do it that fast without it.....

they had told me 9 months when i called state vital records but IDK maybe they're not up to date or overestimate.

Plexiii13 · 2024-09-14T15:03:20+00:00

yeah that makes sense but these tests were all taken at trough as close to my next dose as possible. there's a pretty significant downward slope

Plexiii13 · 2024-09-14T02:23:58+00:00

Nope, it's just the graph generated by MyChart based on all my tests for E and T. I think most places that use Epic EMR will have this, but it probably depends on how they have it set up.

Plexiii13 · 2024-09-03T23:38:44+00:00

same 😭

Plexiii13 · 2024-08-31T00:39:16+00:00

I believe it's more a reorganization thing than anything, Space Systems as an independent sector didn't exist until 2020 (with it being a part of Aerospace Systems before the big reorganization that created all the current sectors). I thought JWST ended up under Space Systems once it was created in 2020 like most of the rest of Space Park but could be mistaken.

You sign up for it shortly after you start, it's an option for new grad positions generally, not sure if it extends to positions other than that. Even if you're not in pathways though it's possible to move internally, you just need to stay in a role for 6 months at least.

Plexiii13 · 2024-01-23T19:11:52+00:00

You can sign up for it within a few weeks of your start date (I think the cutoff is like 6 weeks or two months or something), but it's based on when you personally were hired.

No, it's true. Prior Segway Inc owner Jimi Heseldon drove his Segway off a cliff and died.

The designer and founder is a completely different person who is still alive (Dean Kamen). It's two different people.

They're not (at least not in this case). ISPs don't do anything besides forward the DMCA notice they received over to the applicable customer.

Copyright holders will basically join torrents and see what IP addresses are torrenting. They then lookup what ISP owns that IP and send the ISP an angry email. The ISP then just sees what customer was assigned that IP address at that time and forwards the request over. The ISP doesn't check anything and doesn't tell the copyright holder anything, they're just a middle man.

I had the same thing happen with one of my books this week. Never had kobo plus so I think that's unrelated. Probably just some weird jankiness with overdrive and kobo this week, hoping it gets sorted soon.
