  How so?
  Geniunely don’t understand how being trans prevents you from getting out?
  I’d assume when being asked about your sex, I’d just swallow the pride (no pun intended) and say what the sex at birth was to get the paperwork done. As soon as ones out it won’t matter as much anyway.

    This is not the case. Trans people are being denied passports of either gender marker as officials “wait for clarification” on the new rules. Furthermore, passports are being confiscated.

    Big assumption that they can even get a passport under Der Furher

      But even in your source, which does explain the circumstances (which are bad), they mention how it needs to be under the sex that is on your certificate.
      I only see an issue with it if you are in-between getting the identification modified as the gears of beaucrarcy grind very slow (ignoring constant interruptions by unecessary policy changes)

        Or, you know, you live in a red state that fights tooth and nail to not update that information, all in the hopes that this day would eventually come.

        Updating your vital records is a state level item, and the process will vary by state, and that’s a requirement to get it changed on your Federal passport. Please don’t forget that a large amount of states have been trying to pretend these people don’t exist, and now the federal government is trying to help make that a reality.

  For instance trans people can’t get passports or renew them meaning they have absolutely no way to leave.

  given long enough you can just cross the border and claim asylum
