*waves* HAI! Have some random updates by me! BTW, sorry I didn't respond to comments on the last entry... it's been a hectic week.
==> ...I just went looking through my contacts on the phone, and I have one listed just as 'China.' I suspect it's China Garden, but I have to laugh, because having forgotten completely that I had any food places in my phone made it even funnier when I scrolled down to see 'India,' a little further.
==> I'm curious as to what the people on my flist think about new regulations that require birthdate and gender along with names, now:
I mean... how likely is it that cheap-ass companies like Jet Blue will be understanding to genderqueer and transitioning people? If you're in the process of transitioning, and your driver's license states a different gender, will they consider it a mis-match when you check in for your flight? G says that, if you identify as neither, then that's what you should put... but the likelihood that there'll be a 'Male,' 'Female,' or 'Neither' drop-down is almost NIL, in my opinion. :\ HOWEVER: Why I love Obama, #1438948249328, btw. (that's a PDF, fyi) For those like me that tend to hate .pdfs (Gosh, I'm glad I chose to load this one, though):
==> I have some questions about characterization and warnings in fic that I'd like to talk over with a few of you--specifically, if in a fic, it appears as though someone important has died but they aren't actually dead, do you warn for that? Because, I mean... if the character appears to be dead, a lot of people back-button and never know it wasn't real.
==>I've been getting B12 shots this week as I have a vitamin deficiency of B12. Apparently the USA has a really low threshhold for what is 'normal' with B12 anyway, and I'm already deficient in it... so let's hope this helps with cognition and energy!
==> OH GODDAMNIT, SGU. I mean, seriously, I wanted to like you despite everything.And I still might, but just feel really fucking dirty about it, now.
==> Linking this public apology by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
icarusancalion for many reasons, not the least of which because I hope that if I'm ever in a position to make such an apology, I would be this thorough and honest about it.
==> IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE DOCTOR WHO VIDEO BYflummery CALLED HANDLEBARS, HIE THEE RIGHT THE F NOW. 'Nuff said. I mean, seriously. Thank you unamaga for lighting me on to this awesome piece of vidding glory that is so freaking delightful meta about all that Ten is that we love and fear him for.
==> ZOMG CHICAGO CREATION CONNNNNNnnnnnnn..... !!!!! (ps. uh, I guess I should start coordinating with you guys,grammarwoman and nakedwesley? lol)

Secure Flight requires that airlines get your birthdate and gender so you can be prescreened agasinst (sp) a government watch list.

Issue
The Proposed Rule and Regulations drafted by the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) as part of the Secure Flight Program (“SFP”), which require that airlines request gender data of all passengers when making a reservation in order to determine whether the passenger is on a federal “watch list,” would subject transgender passengers to enhanced scrutiny in the screening process, civil and criminal sanctions for fraudulent misrepresentation, and embarrassing invasions of personal and medical privacy.
Short Answer
TSA should amend Proposed Regulation 49 C.F.R. § 1560.3 in its Final Rule by changing the definition of “Passport Information” and “Secure Flight Passenger Data” to delete “gender” from the required data that airline operators must request of passengers. If the Proposed Rule and Regulations are approved as currently drafted, TSA should issue a new Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that would amend 49 C.F.R. § 1560.3 by deleting “gender” from the required data that must be requested from passengers. If TSA declines to issue a NPRM, then TSA should issue guidance on several Regulations that would protect transgender travelers from bias.
