How do I request asylum in a country that doesn't want to erase trans people?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Im not even kidding if they actually continue on this path and ban trans people or something like that, migration to europe from the usa might become a serious thing. Tbh i would find it nice if a bunch of americans came here to actually live. Would make for a pretty diverse place. Also european space program anyone? Half of nasa staff will come here, it will be like the ww2 just reverse.

I'm a nurse with 2 degrees- I'll be an asset anywhere I go. Or I can go back to bartending - I make a mean Hot Toddy.

I was just starting to come to terms the fact that I might be trans less than a month ago and this shit happens.

Mood. It's a scary fucking time to have this realization, and I'm really not sure what I'm going to do either..

Yeah, I always suspected I was. But to come to the realization and acknowledge to myself that I am a trans woman is a completely different thing. I feel like I won some shitty lottery, like gee great I'm part of a 1% that somehow has become the Frontline of some shitty cultural war that I don't really want to be a part of.

Mexico

Mexico became the second country in Latin America, after Ecuador, to provide anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Genuinely. I’m either going to need to drive to Canada next month or kill myself. I don’t have enough money to move.

I'm in Minnesota, if you can make it up here I'll take you with me.

Please don't talk about suicide. There is always a better way. Reach out to someone or the hotline if you truly feel like that.

need to drive to Canada next month

They're dealing with their own immigration issues and likely heading towards a right wing government next year. Good luck! 😇

Just move to europe and fake it til you make it. Worst case you'll be shipped back "home" and you have to travel back to the EU again from time to time.

Seems a lot harder to get across the ocean than into Canada, but I will take any viable option at this point.
