Friday, January 31, 2025 - A transwoman who was born male has released a video lamenting after her passport came in the mail and she was identified as "male".
In the video, the transwoman, named Perysian Zaya Mekhi,
showed her passport bio page, revealing that a photo of her looking like a
woman was used but "M" was chosen as her gender.
She said: "In case you're wondering what it's like
being transgender under this new administration, I just got my new passport in
the mail and they changed the gender to male because of Donald Trump."
She read out the reason the passport office gave for
changing her gender.
They wrote to her: "The sex was corrected on your
passport application. The changes were made for one of the following reasons:
to match our record."
Zaya stated that the only record that ever identified her as
male was a passport she had when she was much younger.
"So, basically it doesn't matter that all of my other
documents say female and that I've had my s£x change surgery, if you've had a
passport in the past that displays the opposite s£x, then they will not honour
your gender change," she explained.
"I will be seeking legal action," she added.
She asked lawyers who are experts in handling such cases to
reach out to her.
She continued: "Because, look, I'm an adult and I've
undergone my full medical transition. There is nothing about me anymore that
represents male on the exterior whatsoever."
She said that refusing to choose female as her gender in her
passport puts her in danger when travelling and she will ensure she seeks legal
redress.
