Me being trans is very relevant because, in case you haven't noticed, the US government is trying to erase trans people. We're currently one step away from all-out genocide, complete with concentration camps and mass graves, something which our current politicians in power have expressed an interest in multiple times. When I say we need help, I'm not saying that we need the EU to come fix our problems, I'm saying we need refuge and an escape before Trump starts finding space in Guantanamo for trans people too. We need a place to run to because our own country is threatening to disown and murder us. I would not put it past them to start """losing""" people's IDs and birth records, so they can claim false citizenship and send them to Guantanamo as "immigrants".

This is not something I can fix. This is not something trans people can fix. This is like staring a grizzly bear in the face and expecting to be able to fight it one-on-one.

Yes I know and it is terrible, but it is terrible either way. If you personally are trans or not. Argumenting it in a different way can help and you migt even get some transfobes to get to help you. Most trans people I know (especially the older once) here in NL, had way less issues before it became something people publicly shared. But they don’t consider themselves trans, they consider themselves of the opposite sex they where born.

If people are giving up then there is almost no hope of fixing the country. There is no allied who can help the US because of the way the US positstioned itself in the past.

If needed you can start the paperwork to migrate here and you might even be able to apply for help as a refuge. In NL we already can’t house own people with the influx of refugees from different parts of the world, but I gues we make it work? Idk if I where you I would try it in all different ways to get to a country where people are more accepting of each other
