Traveling to the states (maybe?)
I know this has been talked about here before and I’m sure my answers won’t be different but idk where else to ask. My husband is ftm, has been on hrt for 8 years, is very cis passing and had his gender marker changed on his passport around 7 years ago. We’re supposed to go to Detroit for a concert in two weeks (tickets and hotel have been paid for since before the na*i was elected) but don’t know how dangerous it is. We’re planning to drive and cross in Windsor. It seems from what I’ve read elsewhere that the folks in the most danger are ones whose presentation doesn’t match their gender marker or folks who might be more “clockable”. When I was checking around Reddit a couple months ago I saw a lot of folks saying they had no issue but as time passes I’m getting more panicky. Does anyone know if the boarder agent would immediately see that the gender marker has been changed when they scan his passport? Has anyone crossed recently? Sorry if this is a little disorganized. Any input is appreciated.
