    Bout $80 and a decade

    ETA: its also a massive pain in the ass that most people don’t do at best. And some groups are having a harder and harder time getting one.

    If a passport is accessible to you, get one, they’re great and practical. But in the US voter ID is a voter suppression tactic. Personally I would much prefer a universal “citizen/permanent resident ID” that’s free, easily obtained, and can serve as a motor vehicle license and short form passport, but we aren’t there, that ain’t happening, and I don’t trust the current administration to do it without forcing minority status on it and forcing minorities to carry it everywhere















  • They are. But by pointing out that it hurts cis people too we attempt to move it from “it’s a shame that they treat you like that” to an understanding that transphobic rhetoric may hurt them or other cis people in their lives. Because the fact is, most cis people who love a trans person have maybe one or two of us in their lives. Some have a lot, but we’re a small minority that’s spread out. And maybe you love your cousin you see every few years, but are you going to riot so they can take a peaceful crap in a public restroom?
