In a lengthy video posted to her TikTok stories, Schafer, who is transgender, shared that her sex had been reverted to male on the newly issued passport she received.

"My initial reaction to this, because our president is a lot of talk, was like, 'I'll believe it when I see it' … and today I saw it on my new passport," she said, holding up the identification booklet to show the sex line with an "M" for male, her sex assigned at birth.

Dear god NO.

Hopefully things like this Hunter Schafer story have the opposite of the intended effect.

“Oh well….that seems pretty mild???”

I’d hate to see the pendulum swing fully back when trump is gone again.

Dear god NO. 

As long as I can keep putting 5'10" on my license instead of 5'9" so I don't seem like such a manlet.

Whoa it turns out these federal job cuts are affecting "their" people too? 

“I finally found one person I knew that got DOGE’d and it hit me in the heart.”

He's treating this whole thing like he treated twitter

[Uncle]

all the reasons this is kind of dumb, hasty, excessive, theatrical aside

I feel like it's probably important to be able to justify yourself to administration at least once every 5 or 10 years

some employees I'm sure have never had to justify themselves to anyone and just quietly collect a paycheck

"what you got done last week" is idiotic, it should be at least a month, and with additional consideration for your overall role in the organization over the course of a year, like if you fixed a major mistake or made a change that saved thousands of dollars

the other thing is, this is being conducted at such scale and so quickly that you could probably just fuckin lie and it would never be caught...an actual thorough personal review conducted over the course of months if necessary would be more effective

Trump asked Elon to be more aggressive

Yeah this is not the way to handle that. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this only rewards the biggest bullshitters while normal guys get the boot.
