Yeah, I have an X on my ID so even though it's technically valid for air travel, I brought my passport instead which has my AGAB and wore really loose fitting clothes. Fortunately I didn't have to go through the x-ray that would give away that my body parts don't match my passport.

I wiped all of my devices in case I was detained, not that I have anything to hide, but I don't want to out any of my friends as trans for them to get targeted.

And I've been staying away from public bathrooms despite having a hard time holding my bladder due to some medical issues retaining salt and water. Considering getting a catheter or something for when I'm in public for more than a few hours because dehydrating myself all the time isn't good for my health.

It's really scary right now even living in a fairly progressive leaning state. I won't even think about traveling to my hometown to visit family where it's more conservative. I'm really hoping on the flight back I'm able to slip through security again. It's going to be a lot of paperwork to get my birth certificate changed to what isn't actually my gender since that's not an option, but more closely matches my body parts.

It's sad that just existing means you are classified as a terrorist and have to avoid interacting with society to survive.

Stay away from the US if you can if you are trans, intersex, non-binary, or even cis if you just have some facial traits that make you look a little less like your AGAB. It's only getting worse every day.
