All due respect mate as an American socialist who spent the past couple years living in the UK I'm not convinced y'all are in a much better position. I'm sure the community would be welcoming (as would many communities in the states) but I feel like the UK is sitting on the knifes edge ATM and could go either way. And if it goes authoritarian it may do so even faster than the US just due to the nature of how the countries are constructed. Obviously any port in a storm but if I'm looking to flee authoritarianism the UK isn't at the top of my list. Wishing y'all the best of luck over there
Yeah, sadly I can't really disagree with those points. I was just thinking about ease of entry, cultural similarities, and somewhere with a strong LGBTQ community. I wish you all the best with your relocation. Take care :)
TERF Island is not a safe place for trans people. Better than the US? Probably. I imagine you're less likely to get hate crimed, at least. But they've been the biggest driver of the anti-trans misinformation machine that's plagued medicine and culture for 20 years now. Trans medical care is incredibly difficult to get there and the government has been trying to get rid of it entirely for at least a decade now. Many of the politicians are funded by right-wing extremist Christian fundamentalist groups from the US.
They're not far behind the US and Canada in the fall to fascism. It's just a less hateful and more Big Brother flavor for the most part.
