        They confiscated it, wouldn’t give it back and were threatening to arrest her. There are also reports of trans people that were renewing their passports by mail and told they wouldn’t be getting them back.

          Ugh.

          You just know if it was someone sadly following the new requirements, it would have been a very apologetic taking of it and that would be the end, even if traumatic.

          When they threaten to arrest them, they’re in on it.

      non-binary people had been getting “X“ instead of M or F on their passport. The Trump administration will no longer allow those passports to be issued

        Seems to be more than that, one person was outright refused any passport, even male, and were threatened with arrest if they asked any more questions. All paperwork (birth certificate etc) was kept by the office in LA.
