I would love to leave the US, but I can't afford that. I can barely afford to do to college as it is, I work full time plus do commissions in my spare time and I am thousands in debt just to pay for it. If I had the money to travel, I would instead spend it on moving somewhere where my access to HRT could be guaranteed, where I can be safer.
This country might be rich but it is not turning that wealth around to help its people. I don't get disability benefits despite being disabled because I am not disabled enough. I don't get healthcare benefits, I have to pay out of pocket and I pay more per year because of things outside of my control.
