US threatens permanent visa bans on trans athletes based on sex markers

Exclusive: State department memo directs officers to bar those deemed to misrepresent birth sex on applications

The US state department has ordered officials worldwide to deny visas to transgender athletes attempting to come to the US for sports competitions and to issue permanent visa bans against those who are deemed to misrepresent their birth sex on visa applications.

The 24 February state department cable obtained by the Guardian instructs visa officers to apply Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) – the “permanent fraud bar” – against trans applicants. Unlike regular visa denials, this section triggers lifetime exclusion from the United States with limited waiver possibilities.

“In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,” reads the directive from the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

So in other words, it an athlete has an official passport from their country Trump is going to bar them from entering the country!

At the signing, Trump also directed Rubio to tell the International Olympic Committee that America “will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes”.

Sarah Mehta, senior policy counsel at the ACLU, said the administration’s use of the permanent fraud provision represents an unprecedented expansion of immigration law against a specific identity group.

“It’s normal to say that people accused of fraud or misrepresentation are often considered to be ineligible. It’s usually a case-by-case determination,” Mehta said. “But it is quite bizarre and novel in a terrible way to be saying it’s based on their misrepresenting their sex or gender in order to come and participate in an event in the United States.”

This is just another link in Trump's pogrom to eradicate us!

The 19^th News reported that,

Trump’s executive order directed federal agencies to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex assigned at birth. Since this order states that it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female, and that these sexes are not changeable, “the department’s issuance of U.S. passports will reflect the individual’s biological sex,” an agency spokesperson said in an emailed statement on Friday evening. Under Trump’s executive order, “sex” explicitly excludes gender identity.

Did you you get that... "Visas" So that means that a trans person coming from a government that recognizes us can be barred from entering the US.

I can imagine a scenario where a woman who is masculine looking being denied entry to the US because the woman looks trans.
