Trump’s new passport rules are trapping transgender Americans in bureaucratic limbo

Have you found a country who will take Americans these days?

I'm really lucky I decided to get my passport about a year ago, mostly on impulse since I got invited to travel with someone. I've set things in motion to be out of country in 6-8 months but I also have a bug out bag with documents and a bunch of cash just in case. If I hear about trans people with existing passports getting blocked then I'm grabbing that bag bailing day of if I have to, hope to get lucky and not have the passport seized

Everything is so fucked right now. This time around feels different. Last time there was a lot of "I'm going to leave the country" talk but now people are quite serious when they say it. Hang in there and if you need to talk to anyone or anything I'm here. We've got to have community or we're not going to make it

If you don’t mind my asking, where did you go and how was the process? I haven’t left yet, but I think it’s well past time I had a plan. I have a passport and all my documents have the same (although not my preferred) gender markers. So my current thought would be to look for a remote work job and then try for a digital nomad visa somewhere in the EU.

Well either way. They confiscated my intersex friend's passport.
