      I mean, saying people should avoid updating their documents because this is the new policy is, in fact, untrue. Also, most of the documents listed are handled at the county or state level, not the federal level, so it’s going to be extremely location-dependent, other than passports.

        For starters, you made a blanket statement about the post in its entirety claiming it, and the experience of the person who made it, isn’t true, you can backpedal now, but that’s what you did.

        Secondly:

        so it’s going to be extremely location-dependent, other than passports.

        In other words

        Your, or even any, office not receiving official orders doesn’t make this not true.

        Thirdly:

        You not being comfortable confronting reality doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

          What in my comments gives you the impression I’m not comfortable “confronting reality”? I’m under no illusions about what the Trump administration is planning and how many people they’re going to hurt. I’m just saying that it’s not a policy to confiscate someone’s passport based on their gender marker at this time.
