A series of misleading claims have gone viral this month, sowing fear and confusion about ICE targeting trans people, a transgender public registry, and an imminent gender-affirming healthcare ban.

this is written by Garrison Davis, not Robert Evans, as stated in the title.

“This whole claim about trans people’s visas being revoked because of accusations of misrepresentation is contradicted by the State Department which said last year”

“Put plainly, State Department restrictions on stating assigned sex at birth on green card/visa applications does not give ICE any new justification to roam around disappearing random people who “look trans.””

it’s hilarious to think that this administration is playing by the rules they’re setting forth in any type of legislation or executive order. they’re gonna do what they want, as it has been clearly demonstrated.

    while I broadly agree with the article's concern about clickbait and catastrophizing, it does seem to me that the author on the other hand might be looking at this too narrowly and the future is just unknown - it could be better or worse than being anticipated here and they can't know that the "catastrophic" risk isn't real
