FYI. if you are a trans person without a passport in your correct gender, seems like US Passport Office is turning around expedited passport requests in less than two weeks right now. Get that passport if you can. I can't understate the value of official government ID in your correct gender.

@melissagreen Big important playbook to keep in mind: I have heard that in Hungary, people's IDs may be checked at random by cops. If by the cops' judgement your gender is "wrong" on the ID, for instance because you changed it before this was made impossible, you may be arrested for "identity fraud" (on no legal basis whatsoever). For what happens then, check news coverage on queer folks deported to Hungary.

@cache The defense against this is to have many pieces of corroborating ID. The US identity environment is highly federated and generally poorly coordinated (witness how long it took RealID to come about). Rolling back IDs is gonna be an extremely heavy lift as a result of this.

There will be increased police harassment of trans people, we can be fairly sure of that, but there is no need to comply in advance, or make their lives easier.
