About

The SSA stopped processing all gender marker updates on January 31, 2025 — anyone who didn't update before that date has no current legal path to correct their record. The State Department blocked X-marker passports after an executive order; the Supreme Court allowed enforcement to proceed November 2025 while litigation continues. Kansas SB 244 (effective February 26, 2026) invalidated all driver's licenses and birth certificates not issued under sex assigned at birth. North Carolina HB 805 requires old and new birth certificates to be permanently linked. Florida revoked a trans woman's license and is actively enforcing rollback. 48% of trans people with at least one ID document say none of their IDs list the name they actually use. LGBTQ+ asylum cases have a 98.8% approval rate — but 53% with legal representation vs. 19% without. WanderID is real-time hostile-state tracking, safety planning during in-person appointments, and navigation infrastructure that covers what existing guides don't: undocumented applicants, incarceration reentry, DACA, and the spaces between agencies where people fall through.
