Gladly! Every time a trans person has to present an ID, that now presents an opportunity for them to be forcefully outted. Trans people already face heightened violence that physically threatens their daily lives, and this only places them at greater risk.

#BiWeek Myth: If a bi person enters a same-gender or different-gender relationship, they're no longer bi. Wrong. Bisexuality isn't determined by who a bi person is dating. You're still bi no matter what relationship you're in. That's the whole point!
