As far as I know, trans people are allowed to use public restrooms at least in any state in the US. They also are permitted to have passports but I'm not sure what you mean by the unimpeded part. I couldn't find any verification that the FBI has labelled any trans people or any trans positive groups as terrorist groups either.
On the first one:
Using the bathroom of the gender assigned at birth: https://www.them.us/story/lucien-bates-round1-arcade-trans-man-bathroom-illinois
Using the bathroom of the gender not assigned at birth: https://reason.com/2025/04/10/florida-cops-arrest-transgender-woman-for-using-womens-bathroom/
They are, by circumstance, condemned for doing either. Effectively, they are barred from using any bathrooms, though the law does not like admitting that result.
On the second:
The Trump admin now requires the gender of a passport to match the gender assigned at birth. Immigration control officers operate off of far less to enact "Kavanaugh stops" to target and harass anyone whose passport gender does not match their visual appearance. Think of it this way: If a black man could wave a magic wand to not be black for the duration of a traffic stop, do you think they would?
On the third:

Your first example would work if one could be in both Florida and Illinois at the same time, but that is impossible. In both states, trans people are able to use public restrooms, whether its the one they want to use or not.
The second isn't an example. I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
On the third, the FBI never did designate any trans related anything as violent extremists or terrorists. That article is simply reporting what two unnamed officials thought would happen in the future after the Kirk murder. Hardly evidence that the FBI is officially targeting trans people.
