Somebody who engages in logging is a lumberjack. But somebody who engages in blogging is just a blogger. What a missed opportunity.

@npub19ua…53cv I’m on a train in Kyoto and the girl sitting opposite me has a sweatshirt that reads: “UNAVAILABLE ERR 451 PRIVATEREASONS”.

The thing (well, one of the things) I keep coming back to is that human beings did this: someone who works in the passport office had to press the buttons, or if it was automated, a software engineer had to implement the "business logic" to enforce this.
Either way, someone had a choice: do I go along with this, do I help enforce this order, am I a willing instrument of this violence? Or do I refuse, resign, or otherwise resist?

So, the good news: I have a passport again. I can leave the country.
The bad news: They put an incorrect gender marker on it.
The name, photo, and gender marker on my passport no longer match each other. The gender marker on my passport no longer matches my legal gender, nor does it match the gender marker on all of my other identification.
Travel will unavoidably be less safe for me now, even in countries with relatively good track records re: the treatment of trans people.
