She didn’t say she doesn’t have ID, just that she’d like to change it to match her gender identity (which can be done for a fairly low cost). People out here are fairly understanding if you have a different legal name from your preferred name, it’s not going to make you unemployable. I’m in SoCal and I know at least 30+ trans/NB folks. They have jobs with local non-profits, LGBT orgs, retail, sales, law firms, boring offices and even Fortune 100 companies. My last workplace had two trans employees, and that was a firm with less than 200 employees. We also have pretty strict discrimination laws in place for workplaces, and gender identity is a protected class.
