    im a dual citizen myself but cant get my passports because im trans 🙃 that and broke as hell but still. id get stopped at the border because a guy with a fullass beard with a ‘F’ on their passport is considered fraud.

        Thank you friend. Unfortunately because of how deep red my state and how stupid the UK is with this stuff I’m stuck. Just hunkering down and preparing for the worst.

      Move to a border state like Washington, get an enhanced driver license and cross into Canada? EDL functions like a passport for land crossings.

      Not sure what sort of federal checks are done for issuing those and if it’s still possible, sorry

        Wish I could lol. Broke as shit and I can’t just leave my family behind. Unfortunately to get Real ID I have to provide my citizenship documents but those are in my deadname + birth sex and I can’t get them fixed without a baseline of $1k (have to pay for at least 2 private doctors in the UK to verify I am my chosen gender, plus court fees and 18+ months processing time).

          I’m so sorry. And the UK is also increasingly discriminating against trans people too, ugh

            It’s rough and tough out here. If I knew I was going to be illegal as a kid I would’ve been so hyped for what crimes I did, but apparently just existing is one ahaha.
