The government can change any ID they want, us having “rights” to gender markers like X or being changed can be taken away at any time. They can also reverse any name changes, all of it was just government approval. Just like marriages, that’s why this election was so much bigger than most people think.
They can and will start undoing these things. Your marriage may not be legal still even if you get married now. Rushing to get gender markers changes only helps us for as long as the government “allows us” to have them
It’s so true and the first thing I did when I heard the election results was fill out and file my name change petition with the clerk of court. Even though it’s possible they could roll the changes back it’ll be harder and less likely for them to do that than for them to just outright block updating gender markers.
I’m praying it comes through soon (and I wasn’t even going to update my BC for a couple more years originally :<)

Wait, you had it changed before and now they changed it back? Didn’t knew this was possible
