The Trump administration is proposing sweeping changes to the rules governing the 2030 US Census, including a requirement that could make questions about biological sex mandatory for respondents, a change critics say could effectively force transgender people to disclose their trans status to the federal government.
It could mean “forced outing”. It could also mean “non-representational census data”. People can lie just like trump.
As said in the article, you can publicly comment on the proposal here: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/USBC-2026-0628-0001
If it just says ‘biological sex’ without defining it then I’m marking male, because anatomy and hormones are both a part of your biological sex 🤷♂️
Anatomy and hormones you produce, yes. Injecting yourself with massive amounts of synthetic testosterone or estrogen isn’t part of your biological sex. Just mark whatever the hell you want, it’s a stupid survey. If you need it to validate yourself you have a lot bigger problems.
Can’t single people out if everyone joins the party. I identify as trans now!
holy shit this is the kind of effective cis allyship we need
I’m right there with you.
Well that’s a good way to get people not to do the census.
That’s the point. Undercount more liberal areas so they have less representation.
Oh we’re close enough to the election that they gotta bully trans people for votes… will it work again?
Start? They haven’t stopped, the only ones who have recently started joining in with them area a bunch of Dems.
You’re right. You know what i mean, they’re gonna crank the volume to 12/10.
The only thing that matters is who wins the 2028 election. This can all be reversed and census is not until 2030
2028 is the start of resistance mate. By 2030 we’re either in foxholes or, at best, working towards building a class conscious movement that will inevitably be broken by capital. You gotta think beyond the next election. This level of corruption isn’t being fixed by a midterm or a single presidential run.
We need a modern Nuremberg trial for Republican and AIPAC dems that funded the genocide Israel is committing. I don’t know how Americans sleep at night knowing trump installed Todd Blanche who quite explicitly said “not a single page more of the epstein files is coming out”. It’s obvious that humans anyone who so vehemently jumps to defend Israel’s government is compromised or worse
There are still people who believe there is gonna be another election? Cute
I genuinely don’t think there will be one. If there is it will be similar to russian elections where the outcome is predetermined. We have the Paul brothers visiting the pentagon. The president is all over the Epstein files whilst they cover up the rest. Blatant corruption of markets in the Iran war.
Nothing happens.
Yea i mean im voting in November. Hopefully you are too? There was a primary, there’s volunteers, we’re having an election in november??
Im not coz luckily I dont live in the United States of Pedophilia. But dont get me wrong, I hope for you that youre going to have elections in 28, pretty sure you wont though.
Well again, we’re having an election in November. And we’re all eagerly waiting. You theory will be more sound if you wait until November and interpret the results. It will certainly be relevant. Which country is it that you live in? Must be nice to not have a far right political party creeping into ultimate power??? Obviously you’re not from Germany, right???
What are you on about? I honestly cant tell. Are you replying to someone else? Who said Im not afraid of far right politics? All I said was Trump wont allow elections in 2028, hed rather take down the whole country with him. And regarding “waiting for the results in November”, sure. If Republicans get the majority of votes, theres no reason for them to prevent elections in 28 Ill give you that, but if that happens you guys are more fucked than I could have imagined.
I think we could be more fucked than you are imagining, also potential that we’re less fucked, we shall see im open to the alternatives. I’m dying to know how stupid we are as a country too!
They said that about midterms too. So like the bar for that claim is a bit higher now, and dependent on the midterm election. If the republicans get a majority of votes in the midterms, they either: cheated. or this country really likes far right politics. I suppose we’ll have to see what the voters decide. They seem to be happy tearing the country down for the last 10 years. You realize these brain dead lemmings are actually into this crazy shit right? Sitting on the ground floor they’ve done a great job manufacturing consent to the point where they can safely have elections.
Well an “election” for sure. And their supreme court will find a way to decide the midterms, somehow.
ah, fascists and their lists.
He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, Obergruppenführer Strauss is coming to town
What would prevent someone just claiming their identified sex as their census answer? What’s the penalty?
They make a comparison with your birth certificate, then remove your right to vote because your documents are fake or whatever.
The federal government doesn’t administer elections, that’s explicitly laid out in the constitution as a state power
the government does not get free access to census responses, either. it’s protected data. the census bureau produces statistics and numbers, it is not a surveillance arm for the feds. it has to be that way, otherwise half the country or more would either lie or not respond at all.
Doesn’t the state use census data? The state could also be dicks
To determine voter eligibility? No, people move more than once a decade.
The census is optional. I think the language of the census is transphobic and induces tran erasure. But I think the survalience state that has already identified your identity is a lot more concerning. It’s more of vice signaling than anything else. The idea that you’re filling out a form is how you’re being targeted. What? Don’t fucking fill it out. We’re in a fascist state. Did you need this article to realize that?
What? It’s not optional. It’s one of the most widely-used examples of compulsory civic actions
To all the people who told us trump wouldn’t do bad thing x, y, and z. FUCK YOU.
