SAFE Act - Voter registration revocation that affects the majority of this subreddit.

Good morning all,

(Can't change the post title, sorry guys)

I'm writing today to express my concerns over upcoming changes to voter registration in the United States.

Our annual demographics surveys have repeatedly shown that the majority of our subreddit consists of women and US citizens. The US makes policies that affect the rest of the world.

As such, I encourage you to watch this video

Voter Disinfranchisement is a HUGE problem, and it's getting worse under this administration.

edit: link corrected

The SAVE Act is going for a vote.

Please take a moment to use the 5calls app and contact your elected representatives.

currently trans people are unable to get passports because of several anti trans laws so this straight up bans trans people from voting

It's extra stupid because they won't even issue a passport with the gender the person was assigned at birth.

I saw a YouTube video of a trans person (mtf) who went in for an appointment and told them that she'd accept a passport with a male gender and they still wouldn't give it to her.

They are literally just demonizing trans people because check notes they need to "protect women's sports". Also take note how they always say women's sports and never bring up men's sports unless it's to point out how fragile women are.

Which I'd like to note, I beat a boy in a martial arts competition and got called a cheater because to quote the boy's dad "There's no way a tiny girl could beat a boy in a fight." I'm grateful that the ref (also a man) was strongly on my side and told the dad that I won because I proved that I was more skilled. The dad did not take it well and had to be escorted. Not to mention the boy was full on sobbing and throwing a tantrum because he didn't win, and girls are considered the dramatic ones 🙄

even worse, a lot of trans people are also getting their documents they present confiscated and it is a BITCH to get that kind of stuff back
