I haven’t updated any of my documents yet, and I saw that the disgusting bill that’s pending in Indiana would make it impossible for trans people to change their gender marker. Although there has been an executive order stopping the department of health from processing court-ordered name changes there for the past year. I don’t think Indiana is ever going to do something that would help a trans person…
What are my options? Am I stuck with incorrect or mismatched documents forever?
How are you at kayaking? There are plenty of shorter crossings between the states and Canada on the great lakes. From what I can see. I would in no way cross at an official border crossing. If you arrive in a country by boat I think you’re supposed to report to the local police office, but I’m sure noone would meet you on the beach to enforce that.
I’m on the other side of the country, so kayaking may or may not be possible for someone without experience through the straight. Maybe around Victoria/San Juan Islands? Anyway, it’s something I’ve thought about, but land crossings in rural areas may be easier. Otherwise, there’s the mountains, but I’m not good in the extreme cold, lol.
You can use the time until summer to train. Kayaking is easy and a lot faster than rowing swimming or running. It is 100% what I’d do if I had to cross the border with sketchy documents. Actually the only country I could get to by kayak is Russia so I definitely wouldn’t do that 😂
