Four trans Americans claiming refuge abroad tell Io Dodds why they no longer feel safe in their home country, from fears of martial law to being arrested in changing rooms
Im so scared i literally dont know what to do. I fled to a “safer” state after the election and now i have to leave it all behind. I want to just disappear but i really need to start packing i guess. I have enough in my measly retirement fund for one more move. Canada is looking like its only 2 locksteps behind us and mexico is not very friendly to american immigrants rn (for good reason). I genuinely dont know what to do and there are so many people in a worse spot than i am; i cant help but feel guilty for even considering fleeing.
You could always move to Europe and fight the Russians in the inevitable third world war. Or go to Australia, but their government tend to be total dick heads.
Personally I’m thinking of moving to Antarctica, that seems nice and far away from everyone else.
Don’t feel guilty for fleeing. Those who care about the cause* fight for those who can’t contribute as well. Everyone deserves the same care and protection. Today’s it’s you, one day it might be somebody else.

I am getting my affairs in order to be out by the end of the year; if not sooner.
