    It’s shaping up to declare us all mentally incompetent so that they can institutionalize us. They won’t stop here.

      It’s a stepping stone. First they’ll target trans people, than anyone LGBTQIA+, then minorities, then anyone with liberal views, then anyone who looks weird to them. That was the purpose of that EO dipshit signed a few weeks back directing is admin to explore how to institutionalize anyone deemed mentally incompetent. All they have to do is declare “x group” is mentally ill and then they’ll round em all up. It’s fucked.

      What a nightmare, and AFAIK no country will accept trans people from USA as refugees (yet).
      I hope you have options.

        I think Canada does from what they reported of asylum sellers from the US and mostly were trans.

        I hope if shit pops off they can send us care packages from the north.

          Last I checked (last week? Does time mean anything anymore?) canada doesn’t want poor trans refugees more than any other country. A few people have gotten in, but the vast majority of applicants are being denied asylum.

            we’re a good deal, if anyone wants to take us. a lot of us are reeeaaallyy good at science, math and programming. like the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were pretty great for the countries who took them in as refugees.

                we’re not all network engineers! there’s also uh… rust and haskell programmers, reverse engineers, hardware engineers, category theorists and topologists, uh… biochemists and physicists probably?

                also there’s not like, loads of trans people. that’s why we’re so easy to attack.

          Source for that claim? I’m pretty sure Canada is unfortunately still very backwards on granting asylum to people who need it (like most countries in the world are), but I’d love to be wrong about that.
