Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
It reads to me like gender changes on federal documents are banned, and trans women will be forced into men's prison as well.
Looks like those are the primary points, yes. But it doesn't say anything about not allowing changes... Maybe that's an oversight that gets amended later? Seems like they're going real hard at trans prisoners and forcing them to detransition.
Hopefully the legality of that will be challenged... But I feel like they've set it up as a trap to have SCOTUS declare us illegal.
This is what I was looking at. If sex is immutable I don't see how you would be allowed to change it (and have it be "accurately represented").
Can't wait for that ruling
It sucks that Rowling is a TERF cause she would have some spitfire with this one
The phrasing in (2)(a) appears to ban changes by defining sex as immutable
“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”
Then what happens to people that have already had legal sex change? Some people have gotten nearly every document changed, including birth certificates.
That's for the courts to decide. "Immutable" seems very clear in this context and I doubt any court will shut this down because it isn't overstepping executive power or breaking precedent.
Iirc Kansas started forcing people to change things back (e.g. if you needed a driver's license renewal)
made me realize I probably shouldn't go through the effort of changing since 1) they would have a record of that change 2) they will probably just change it back or some shit
Sounds like Germany before WW2 all over again.
