I know you said USA, but maybe an interesting data point: €2.28 or $2.38 in Catalonia, Spain.

This is actually not true. If you are part of a “persecuted group” without access to a safe alternative location inside the country of origin, you can seek asylum in the EU.

So for example, trans people from Florida currently cannot seek asylum in the EU although they are at risk of “discriminatory and disproportionate prosecution” for using public restrooms, because there is an “internal protection alternative”, in other states.

If however, federal law is passed banning trans folks from public bathroom use, it is likely that they could seek asylum in the EU.
