Text: Phone safety.
1. Battery bank.
Bring a spare battery with you. When folks are detained, you may not know why or for how long.
There is an illustration of a phone with a dead battery symbol and a battery charger.
Text: Phone safety.
2. Passcode and pin only.
A good rule of thumb is to set your phone to a passcode or pin. If using face ID, you can be compelled to unlock your phone by law enforcement. If you have a pin or passcode, they would need your consent and a warrant to search your phone!

Text: Children with X gender markers on legal documents.
Children with X gender markers are likely to have their documents treated the same as adults with X gender markers.
-Expect TSA/CBP to ask your child questions about their travel and their relationship with you.
-Take special care to travel with your child's birth certificate, adoption decree, and/or permission letter from the other parent.
(Check out QLaw's video on youtube for more information!)

Text says: An emergency contact. Prearrange an emergency contact (like a friend!) who will be ready to reach out to a
- local congress person
- laywer
(Your current and valid passport should be treated as a current valid passport!)"
There is a character on the phone saying "Bro, I've been stopped by TSA and am unable to board my plane."
Text: "Avoid unnecessary attention.
Do your best not to travel with anything that brings any unnecessary attention by TSA or Customs border patrol."
The image is a suitcase with sideways looking eyes holding a magnifying glass.
Text says: Practice asserting your rights with TSA and Customs Border Patrol.
You can try roleplaying with your friends so you know how it feels in your body to advocate for yourself in high stress situations.
Images are a beating heart that looks worried. And two hands sweating.
Text says: Practice Asserting your rights with TSA +Customs border patrol.
Phrases like:
(each of these are in speech bubbles)
- Can you tell me why I am being stopped?
- Am I being detained? (If you are not being detained, you are generally free to go.)
- Can you tell me what about my document is improper?
- Can you tell me why you are looking through my bag?
- I would like to talk to a lawyer.

Text says "What might go into your travel safety plan for people with an X gender marker, from Q Law's info session on US passports and other documents available on youtube."
There is a drawing of a fake passport with someone who has an X gender marker.
Text says: "Currently, as of Feb 5th, 2025...
The federal government is no longer issuing X gender markers on new federal documents, or for amendments to existing documents.
we don't know what the government is going to do with existing x gender marked passports.
for the time being, the state department has sort of 'pinky promised' to honor any current passports with X gender markers."
There is a person with a speech bubble saying: "So it's a good idea to have a safety plan!"
Text says: "What goes in a travel safety plan?
1. An Emergency contact
2. Don't carry anything that might bring unnecessary attention.
3. Practice asserting yourself.
4. Phone safety + security
5. Considerations for children with gender x markers."
There is a line of people below looking in different directions.

Things are constantly changing but the one constant is community care. I hope this brings a sense of preparedness and practice for my queer/trans/gnc family. 💗🙏🏽

Read this. Then read the pictured/linked Rolling Stone piece. That “stroke of bad luck” could easily be the covid infection you could prevent in yourself and others by the simple action of wearing a mask.
