    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.

      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.
