I have a friend who preemptively deadnamed themselves and put their born-sex on their passport like a month ago. It’s not right

As in, they reverted their name? Why?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 19 points 16 hours ago

Because they were worried about their passport not being considered valid if they try to leave the country. They live in a dangerous place to be queer.
