I am in the U.S. and I move to a better state next week actually - over a year of planning went into this, and I am making big sacrifices to make it happen, but I’m no longer safe in this state and need to leave.

I’ve had my healthcare denied by illegal anti-trans policies, and the state I live in has laws that prevent my gender from ever being recognized.

This means all my state documents, such as my driver’s license, must always say “male”, despite looking and living as a woman.

For example, a police officer I interacted with required ID and I gave him my passport (which has the correct marker on it), and when he looked me up in their state database, he put down “male” on the incident’s record because that’s what is required (despite only referring to me as a woman).
