“The United States has issued its first passport with an “X” gender designation, marking a milestone in the recognition of the rights of people who do not identify as male or female, and expects to be able to offer the option more broadly next year, the State Department said Wednesday.
The department did not identify the passport recipient, but Dana Zzyym of Fort Collins, Colorado, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview it was their passport. Zzyym, who prefers a gender-neutral pronoun, has been in a legal battle with the government since 2015 over a passport.
Zzyym (pronounced Zimm) said the fight for the passport with an accurate gender designation was a way to help the next generation of intersex people win recognition as full citizens with rights.
“I’m not a problem. I’m a human being. That’s the point,” Zzyym said.
The U.S. special diplomatic envoy for LGBTQ rights, Jessica Stern, said the decision brings the government documents in line with the “lived reality” that there is a wider spectrum of human sex characteristics than is reflected in the previous two designations.
“been watching more animated movies lately and i go apeshit every time the animal designs are like this
okay theres always been criticism of fantasy species and the females always look. like recolored human women vs the males that look like actual cool monster designs BUT THIS.. WHEN THEYRE BASED ON *REAL ANIMAL SPECIES* AND THE DIFFERENCES BTWN M/F ARE NOT LIKE THIS
argue for “stylistic choice” all u want but when the consistent Design Trait that is used across the board for animated female creatures is Boobs and Eyelashes then we have a fucking problem lmao”
Social contagion. Mental-illness business is booming. No to transitioning kids. No to giving kids puberty blockers. The so-called “gender industry” must be abolished. These are nothing more than grooming clinics.
Grooming is going a little too far at the local library level.
People have been objecting to this book since 2015, back when it was first published , it has always had explicit images and was intended for teenagers but for some reason, it was passed off as a book for children 10 year old and younger.
“well how would you feel if someone called femininity toxic??” i would… agree… i think the social roles culturally assigned to the sexes & the ideologies that support them are stifling, chafing, dehumanising, untrue; they ‘naturalise’ & facilitate all kinds of abuse, domination, and exploitation. toxic. bad. very bad. me big no like
PSA for anyone who needed to hear/see this today. None of these things have gender. Nothing inherently has gender because gender is a bullshit social construct.
I can’t believe this got almost 300 notes in just a few hours. Keep reblogging this, everyone! Get the message out there
Because we have plenty of people in the corset community who need to know that the amazing garments they wear so not in any way signify their gender. Your corsets have no inherent gender! They are perfect and you all are perfect
y’all still being cis in 2018?????? good for you I’m glad you don’t have dysphoria and can live your life without that extra burden, and I hope tumblr’s shitty cis-hating mentality won’t get you down this year either
So I was talking to a boy today and called him “dude” and he goes, “Hey, I’m not your dude. I want to go by bro.” And the very first thing that popped into my head was ‘wow, he has preferred bronouns’.
I’m sorry this is one of the funniest tags that’s ever been left on one of my posts
I have a lot of weird gender-blindness where I’ll totally miss important conversational context because I have just totally forgotten a gendered expectation. But I am always slightly surprised when I am in the car with a married couple and the man is driving. Like, it is ingrained from my childhood that mamas do the driving and daddies sit in the passenger seat.
