I was born in New Zealand but moved to Europe in order to transition. Not that it's illegal in NZ but there just aren't any surgeons who do GRS. But the government did change my birth certificate.......... and put my dead name on the bottom of the form. Duh..... Anyway, I'm old and a bit sick so travelling is over for me. So, no passport wanted or needed and Belgium has given me a full female identity. And everyone was very nice about it all. If you can get out of the USA, Belgium is a safe space. You could probably qualify for refugee status as well. We hate Nazis like Trump.

If i wasn't trans, i would've been misogynistic towards women for sure. Wild thing to say, but true.

Omfg, thank you so much! I will keep this mind when i do change it, since im still not 18 yet and just 3 months on testosterone. Before hrt, i did pass sometimes since i got gender neutral voice and face.

Your approach is great, you're right doomerism is generally undesirable, but you never undersell the gravity of the situation and just tell it how it is. Appreciate you

Best tip for travel is dont lie and learn what things you can do to not be offencive to the culture you will be in.

<3 thank you for sharing, Kia Kaha

you're so right about people just not understanding anything about trans people and it working in your favor. I have straight up told people I inject testosterone and the cisgender psyche simply fills in the gaps with the easiest explanation to them. they see me at the gym a lot so they think I'm a gym bro. they assume my gender marker is a clerical error without me even saying it. I have a lot of privilege passing so easily so that's something but really ppl want your photo and name to match. sometimes they might not even read the F or M. I have nightmare scenarios in my head if someone does notice on my passport but it has not come to pass

I am incredibly thankful that I was able to get my name and gender sorted out on my birth certificate/ drivers license right before the nightmare began

The thing you are leaving out is that the life experiences or background of gay men are not the same as trans gay men. The struggles we face are different. So if you are going to touch on identity, i believe background should be considered.

you are terribly cute. also I loved your video <3

Why do trans people give themselves pornstar names. 😅

It's mostly a mild inconvenience with opening the door for embarrassment in some situations. It sucks, but that's not the biggest problem. These EOs are going to really affect anyone on a Federally funded health plan like Medicaid and Tricare. There is no way they are going to cover transgender healthcare. And what about HRT? Are they going to deny cross-sex hormones? What about those of us who have had bottom surgery? Will they continue to pay for estrogen, or will they cut us off entirely or worse... give us the alternative as testosterone?

Great information!

-Firstly, if you changed your gender marker and you have to renew it, there's a substantial chance you might not get a new passport back because there are numerous reports of the government just straight up seizing your passport. -second, even tho I *CAN* still change my name and photo on my documents, I am EXTREMELY hesitant to, considering how extreme anti-trans laws might get. I'm strongly considering pretending to be my old self to get over the border.

It makes me happy to see other trans guys named Arthur!! I love my new name, I know it’s quite basic and common but it makes me so happy!!

Unfortunately for me, Velveeta Voldemort will still be squatting in the Oval Office when my passport is up for renewal in 2027.

Much love from Russian trans people. For a year and a half we live in a situation like this, when changing your gender marker in any type of document is impossible. I think some international exchange of mutual support, advice and tactics might be helpful for all of us.

you can always change your name to Bea Arthur Rockwell #Be Best

high key im glad my name or markers aren't updated ill be able to slip through the cracks after i get my passport and I'm not on their evil little lists

I have one question for you as a Trans man, what kind of therapist do you have? I am also a trans man and need to start therapy, but I have no idea what kind of therapist to look for. Please help.

Good video hun. I am looking to do everything in terms of legally change info and begin medical stuff. I am not scared but I fear how far are they gonna go to erase us trans people from existence?

No such thing as trans people 😂

So happy you found your truth and are living your life so bright. We are TranzFam brother 💜🏳️‍⚧️⭐

Thanx for sharing your experience strength & struggle. I hope you don't get offended but you remind me of my friend David when he was very young. When I came out as transgender and queer he cut me off. I also believe we hear more about transgender women and I am so glad that you've created a platform and a voice for our brothers in our umbrella 💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⭐ I've changed all my documents except for passport.

I wish you the best, man. Love from a fellow transguy

Ok this is triggering my chest dysphoria not fare. Good for you and keep up the good work being you

Thank you Arthur. Concise, inteligente, kind. Great video. Id live to pist it to Facebook but i don’t know how.

Bro I am so cooked💀

Lovely chat 🙏

This video came at the perfect time, thank you so much. I really needed to hear this today.

Thank you for this video, I’ve been in a doom spiral since the election and even more so the past two weeks, just making myself more and more scared. You’re the first trans person I’ve seen have this type of attitude about it all and it’s really made me feel better about everything going on 💛

For me as a nonbinary person I will never have a gender marker that will make me feel safer. X markers in theory would be perfect, except it opens me up to more safety concerns

Whuuuut, having to publicise your name in the newspaper sounds... idk, scary? I opted out of the phone book for reasons lol. Oh wow, I would've thought they'd at least say "I thought that was your sibling/cousin". Which would make more sense? If I were to try fraud I'd probably borrow the ID of a relative, cause we look alike, right? Thank you for adding the historical perspective. It's a good thing to remember. If agressive positivity is what keeps you going then that's fine :) If other people don't feel that way it's also fine. We all have different ways of coping with situations and different perspectives on what matters in life. One perspective doesn't negate another :)

As someone who likes to travel, I can't imagine playing gender marker games. I cant imagine going through life getting nervous and having to think about gender every time you enter/exit a country or produce an ID. For those confused, this is not a privilege. This is part of the reality of being a human. If you want to distort your reality that's a problem you created. It's your problem. Some people are blind in terms of visual acuity. Others are blind to reality. Why it matters is that in some countries, this game could end your life. Even if you think you are "passing".

Thank you for making this video

This is relevant to me in a different way. I got access to legal gender change before medical so I might have to be in situations where my correct gender marker is questioned because I haven’t gone through medical transition. I’m not really sure how to feel about it. The waitlists are so long it’s making me scared of moving on with my life when I’m not even sure if they will let me get HRT or surgery. They haven’t even given me a formal diagnosis because it takes so long.

You could just be a camp gay man. Trans people have the right to live as they please UNLESS it infringes upon the rights of others. And without people like Blaire White i would be willing to go full old testament after the behaviour of the rainbow people.

You get your ender marker on your birth certificate. Not one you change .the one at birth . You like fun fact. The phrase cis gender isn't a thing it's male and it's female . Fun fact . If you gonna go on the Internet and talk shit I'm gonna tell you a fact you are female

I’ve recently changed my legal name and i’m going through the process of changing everything else. Its a huge process, with hundreds of calls and forms. Although I can’t complain too much. In victoria (where I’m from) its so much easier to change than in parts of the US, so I really feel for you guys. In australia, it works slightly differently, you have to get your birth certificate changed first, before your drivers licence, passport or anything else. I think most people in the US don’t change their birth certificate from what I’ve heard. Sadly, in the state of NSW (Sydney), you’re still required to have bottom surgery to change your birth certificate, so people that live there have to have all their documents still read their birth sex. QLD has only just changed this law last year, so I’m very grateful in my state I was able to change everything. Good luck to all americans, and anyone who is having trouble changing documents. Its a really hard process, stay strong.

19:40 in my country i can only change my gender mark after finishing lower surgery which is way too expensive for me to offer. It is cruel. 😢

Thanks for putting this video out, it will help a lot of us, and since there are only about 1% of the population are trans, it helps to have someone help the rest of us figure out how to deal with something like this

I’ve never been happier to have the wrong gender marker. I’ve heard of trans people who are unable to renew their passports, effectively making trans people who changed their gender markers unable to leave the US. I saw a video where a trans woman was threatened with arrest for simply asking why she wasn’t able to get a passport at all.

This is super helpful, I'm passing a lot faster than I thought and I just so happen to need to get a passport for the first time in a red state that requires surgery, so I was nervous about still having the wrong gender marker, but this makes me feel a million times more confident. Appreciate it!

7:18 for me it’s not the travelling. It’s the employment.

I relate. I never changed my name and gender marker, because I didn't want to deal with the beurocracy. I've found that it's easier to explain that I'm trans. I get weird looks and comments from people. I'm well over 21, and got sober before transitioning, so I've never bought alcohol and gotten carded as my true self.

My #1 pet peeve rn is that i gotta get fingerprinted for name change. Very cringe and is maikng me procrastinate the hell out if it bc i cant drive :/ the goverment is dumb as hell tbh. I could have gotten all this done years ago and not had to deal with everything rolling back on itself but here we are i guess. It just makes me so mad that i had family and friends that could have helped me get it done so much sooner and nobody did anything. Esp when i was freshly out and still a baby trans and didnt even barely know dick or shit about adulting and paperwork. I could have had perfectly correct documentations ... 😭😭

I needed this vid. SOOOO much!!! Thank you for your enthusiasm. ❤

Social Security cards do NOT have a gender or sex marker on them. You may be thinking of Birth Certificates. In that case, yes, there are sex markers, not gender markers. Sex is the genetic DNA XX or XY chromosome determination, otherwise now recognized as "AFAB, AMAB,, not gender which is a social construct and has little to do with your genetics.

Awesome facial hair dude congrats

Soo exactly what was this video supposed to help with? Just being honest is the best way to go . Wtf is the point of going through transition if you can't even be honest about it? Just get on with your lives and be a decent human being. Problem solved.
