In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

Well a lot of people had to go to court before Transpeople could start getting passports and I'm not sure all of us can

i'm not sure what that holds for the future either, but ultimately if you exist as a citizen of the united states, you must have SOME form of legal identity that exists in SOME level of authority to grant you a passport. I'm not sure it would abide international law, or human rights to deny that. Maybe it doesn't, north korea is notoriously restrictive after all.

And at that point, i would assume you can manage something like asylum, outside of the states. Because at that point, things are getting desperate.
