I am a nonbinary individual located in the Midwestern US region.

The Department of Health and Human Services is planning to revoke transgender, nonbinary, and Intersex people's rights by redefining gender as either male or female, as determined by a person's original birth certificate.

This flies in the face of international law, and would put thousands of people's lives at risk. Including mine.

If you are in Chicago or can be in Chicago tomorrow: I need your help. I need you to go to the DHHS office at 15:00 tomorrow and ask to speak to Steven Mitchell, Acting Regional Manager of the Office of Civil Rights. Tell him and the staff that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are real. We exist. We have rights. And he cannot take them away.

Address is: 233 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 240
Chicago, IL 60601

Alternatively, you can call the Customer Response Center: (800) 368-1019 any time in the morning. Others will be doing the same.

Please share this post as widely as possible. Copy/paste to email if need be. I don't care what your gender is, we need bodies of all stripes IN ACTION.

Thank you.
