I have about 7k in precious metals, and 2k in fire arms (and ammo) I do not have main character syndrome so I recognize my life as a trans woman is in extreme danger. How do I GTFO of the US? I’m having the most intense panic attack I’ve ever had and just want advice to escape extreme facism
Trans Rescue helps trans people in the US and Global South flee to Denmark fwiw.
Some comrades of mine are working on building a sort of underground railroad house in a safe state if you are looking to get out of your state but not the country.
I’m trans with far fewer resources and I’m planning on duking it out here. I spent my meager savings and a good chunk of my mental health to move from a deep red state to California. I have practically nothing left and I’m out a support system since I had to leave most of my friends behind to get out. I feel kinda naked being unable to legitimately arm myself, but the only people I actually feel in danger from are police so its an improvement overall.
I’ve looked into moving abroad, but western influence is massive and they’ve been demonizing us for generations. There are trans people everywhere, but you’ll have to get a lot more comfortable with risk. Personally, I can’t really justify it. The most I could do is move to my mom’s home country to try to make a stand with my family there, but my ties and responsibilities are in the Americas either way.
I am afraid, but I’ve run as far as I can. What’s left is putting down roots and finding community. I can only afford to resist.
I asked around and some friends said you could poke around British Columbia, Canada. But like others said, it’s likely not paradise either. I’ve heard the bureaucracy might be easier, but you’ll need to shop around to find a less costly city while avoiding isolation.
Consider reaching out to this crew, i think theyre based in the netherlands
This is not a decision you should be making in the middle of a panic attack. Emigrating demands extensive planning and carefully selecting a destination, particularly as a transgender person. I often have to tell young trans people this, and it’s relevant here: There are no good places for trans people, only bad places and worse places.
It is the same for disability. As a disabled trans person I’ve come to some peace (though not quite fully) with everywhere in the world just being shitty for me forever. When it gets bad enough where I live it will be worth the calculus of determining the least bad of “bad” or “worse” places, which I am preparing for in my own ways, but in the US and western European countries we are not there yet.
