Democrats Abroad has put out a call for public comment on the rule changes for trans people’s passports. They have more information on how to comment on their website.
Trans people and allies are encouraged to please comment in favour of protecting trans rights.
Last week, the US group Lambda Legal had a workshop for trans people who are eligible for US passports. The information is current as of then.
Almost all international travel requires passports, so it’s generally better to have an incorrect passport than no passport.
As hedgehogs, we have no borders and dream that this will also be true of humans again soon.
We are a collective of hedgehogs who have come to feel very prickly about the international rollback of trans rights.
In recent years, we’ve mostly dedicated our activities to nighttime walks in the fog, eating slugs and avoiding bonfires, but we do have a history of anti-fascist organising, especially in Austria.
Although we’ve been out of political life for many years, recently, the situation has gotten so troubling that we see no alternative to speaking up.
Trans people have the right to access healthcare and live in peace, free from discrimination. Just as hedgehogs have a right to stay out of large fires.
It’s not enough to merely survive, however. We also wish to fight for the right to party. For us and for trans people, young and old, near and far. (Just, please, maybe without bonfires.)
Or if you are going to have a bonfire, make the pile just immediately before you burn it. Really, we wouldn’t mind a bit of bonfire solidarity.
You can also help by joining our campaign. Sign up to our signal group or send an email to AB InBev. Or follow us on the fediverse to know what’s happening as we launch.
British hedgehogs and activists who want to campaign in solidarity with US trans people are invited to join our new Signal group for announcements.
