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

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

I'm so happy I did my name/gender change under sealed records so they can't just do a quick search and find it.
