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.

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)spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago

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.

Hm ok. but again: What prevents me from just not doing the whole passport changing thing in the US and staying X/Y for now, acquiring the passport, getting out and immigrating somewhere else doing and do the whole paperwork there instead.
Please don’t take this as an ignorant take. I am neither a US citizen nor trans but interested and feel for my fellow friends on the other side of the pond.

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 oof then. Good luck for the folks that need it to escape.
