A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

I agree in principle, but many don’t have the resources to leave. Are there any countries actually accepting asylum seekers from the US, or any programs that can help?
Otherwise, a lot of us don’t have the money to leave, and some countries outright won’t take you if you’re disabled or have something they consider to be a potential burden on their system.
I get that, but maybe they can find someone to hide them Anne Frank style? I’m just worried, because I see lots of posts of people complaining about the dysphoria aspect of not being able to change gender markers on their documents, rather than asking if there’s anyone prepared to smuggle them into Mexico. I just don’t think people are taking it as seriously as they should be.
The problem is that people have to be in immediate danger to be eligible for asylum, and by the time they will be considered to be in immediate danger, the camps will already be full. Getting out now is really the best option.
If you live somewhere worth fleeing to maybe you could start bothering your government about it? I would love to leave but every avenue available is fraught with difficulties and gatekeeping, not to mention takes months at least. If people are really going to flee we need somewhere easy and safe to go.
