What a nightmare, and AFAIK no country will accept trans people from USA as refugees (yet).
I hope you have options.
I think Canada does from what they reported of asylum sellers from the US and mostly were trans.
I hope if shit pops off they can send us care packages from the north.
Last I checked (last week? Does time mean anything anymore?) canada doesn't want poor trans refugees more than any other country. A few people have gotten in, but the vast majority of applicants are being denied asylum.
we're a good deal, if anyone wants to take us. a lot of us are reeeaaallyy good at science, math and programming. like the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were pretty great for the countries who took them in as refugees.
There's only so many network engineers one country can actually make use of.
we're not all network engineers! there's also uh... rust and haskell programmers, reverse engineers, hardware engineers, category theorists and topologists, uh.. biochemists and physicists probably?
also there's not like, loads of trans people. that's why we're so easy to attack.
There's so many trans people in my life I sometimes forget ya'll are basically the shiny pokemon of queers...
I'm holographic 🤗
Source for that claim? I'm pretty sure Canada is unfortunately still very backwards on granting asylum to people who need it (like most countries in the world are), but I'd love to be wrong about that.
I think you might be right. Couldn't find the article I read on Lemmy or online.
