US threatens permanent visa bans on trans athletes based on sex markers

Surely this will help the cost of food!

[tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

If I'm reading it correctly, the order denies visas to non-Americans seeking to come to the US. In which case, it's honestly doing them a favor. From one trans person to another, it's not safe here.

I was gonna say... /smh

[protoknuckles@lemmy.world]

This is a prime chance for another country to scoop up a shit ton of American talent. Start offering deals to scientists, teachers and athletes to come over to a safe and sane country.

Basically do what the US did in the 50s?

I'm taking that gig as soon as I get an offer.

I already fled Texas to start hormone therapy, and I'll flee Colorado for foreign shores in a heartbeat.

At this point I think we should stop being coy and just say things like, "More proof that it was about bigotry, not the economy."

This a distraction to keep average Republican voters from noticing they've been fooled, and no tax cuts for them, just the wealthy. Expect more of this to coincide with taxation news

So. Can anyone name 10 female college athletes. Since they are so concerned for them.

Loving that "small government" and "States' Rights" that are so sacred and important... Oh, until they can hurt people they hate and don't understand.

[reverendender@sh.itjust.works]

And businesses analysts??

[not_so_handsome_jack@sh.itjust.works]

Wernher Von Braun in programming socks is something I wasn't anticipating to think about today.

Any trans person trying to get to the states right now needs to strongly reconsider.

Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?

[kamenlady@lemmy.world]

Don't be shy, it's time to start shaking smh your head out loud.

[theneverfox@pawb.social]

You want us to name all 10?

[cocopanda@futurology.today]

Name any 10 female athletes in College athletics. If you are so concerned with Trans athletes. Thats what I mean. Not saying you don’t respect trans athletes.

[protoknuckles@lemmy.world]

Yeah, sadly. I love this country, but people have to be safe.

Reminder: not only was Rubio the first Trump 2.0/Musk 1.0 nominee to be confirmed, it was UNANIMOUS WITH NO ABSTENTIONS 🤬

I wonder how this could work in practice if someone has an updated passport. It's almost like it's a catch-22, if you put your birth sex on the visa application, it's denied because it doesn't match your passport, but if you put the sex from your passport, you are banned for fraud.
