Sadly so far claiming asylum as a US trans person hasn’t worked yet as far as I am aware. If an asylum claim is denied you will be sent back and barred from re-entry and work visas for a while. It’s not an application anyone should make lightly. Wish it were different. Maybe give it another few months and maybe they’ll stop being so worried about annoying the Cheeto and they will let beurocracy catch up with reality.
