‘I don’t feel safe’: Trans people are planning to flee the US

22-year-old Hazel has lived in the US her whole life, but since Trump’s election she’s been considering leaving her native Texas. “I don’t feel safe being myself in the United States,” she says.

Hazel, who is trans, has witnessed transphobia permeate mainstream US politics for years. But with Trump back in the White House, it seems unlikely that the situation will improve. “I can’t get my gender marker changed to reflect my true self,” she says, referring to the State Department’s refusal to issue new US passports with “X” gender markers and the ongoing suspension of processing all applications from citizens seeking to update their passport’s gender marker. “I’m at a loss for what to do right now,” she says. “All I want is to feel safe and not live in constant fear.”

“I’m at a loss for what to do right now,”

Perhaps recognize your mental health problems and get professional treatment?

[SMARTY]

Sounds like a plan

I’m sure the locals will throw them such a fun party if you know what I mean.

[hinckley buzzard]

Of course they don’t feel safe. They are nuts to begin with.

there are plenty of options for them in the Philippines and Thailand, as long as they can say, I love you long time Gi

“Hazel” is just a man pretending to be female.

Please don’t come to Canada. We’re already saturated with lunatics.

Let’s start reopening the insane asylums then.

[sport]

It already is.

I doubt anyone flees the country. At least not for very long. This is just one big whine-fest because there isn’t a DEM sitting in the White House.
