How can I actually get out of the US? (sh.itjust.works)

For obvious reasons, I desperately want to get out of the United States. Unfortunately, every country I look at doesn't seem interested in gaining a retail worker with no savings.

Am I just fucked? Is anywhere accepting us as refugees? Is there anywhere that's both relatively friendly to trans people AND relatively easy for an American to immigrate to?

Countries don't generally say "we will accept this group as a refugee" in advance. You really need to fly to a country and then apply for asylum. I have read that Canada has accepted trans people as refugees, and I'm trying to work out getting a friend here to Australia to apply.

Edit: To be clear, under international law, they can't send you back if Trump decides that citizens who have claimed asylum elsewhere will be punished, even if you wouldn't otherwise qualify.
