No, if people want to be trans, they will. Trans people is not a new thing, just like being gay. You can throw all the regulations against them as you want, at the end of the day, the strong ones will always defy his authority because that’s what they believe in.

He possibly can, but this will basically only affect federal paperwork: The Census, IRS, military enlistment, and so on. It doesn't mean ungendered restrooms are going away, and it doesn't affect the states.

It's bluster and insult, the things he does best.

Passports. A lot of folks might have to get new passports if their old ones are rendered invalid because of the gender marker.

Tbh, I never fixed mine (to X) because that felt like increasing my risk while traveling, when I can stealth as my assigned gender while on travel/outside my comfort zone.

So many things we need to focus on as a country, and this is what the priority is. Or, at least, this is what we hear about. Either way, it's ridiculous.

There are other priorities too!

Banning vaccines, forcing women to die from unviable pregnancies, destroying public education, and a whole lot more!

Want fixes for actual problems in your life, too bad!

This “policy” will only last as long as his administration anyway. Republicans don’t have enough of a majority to make something so asinine and hateful a constitutional amendment.
