@coleens_
Do you have recent ancestors who weren't American? I have a couple buddies found Canadian grandparents and got their passports that way, I think some other countries have the same thing. Maybe UK, Ireland, Netherlands?

@coleens_
It's super easy if you have Canadian (great-) grandparents.

@coleens_
If Europe or Germany should be your choice let me know. sadly we have our share of problems but AFAIK not on the level of the US

[coleens_@infosec.exchange]

@silvermoon82 I can prove Irish ancestry - but no idea if trans people are welcome there either

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@coleens_
Yeah, good point. I *think* binary trans people are pretty safe there; certainly safer than in the States. Worth investigating, maybe?

@coleens_ @silvermoon82 sounds fairly open - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland

@silvermoon82 not sure that I do - but I would love to seek asylum in Canada, cold weather or no

@realn2s thank you, this place is getting worse by the day

[coleens_@infosec.exchange]

@musing_sys @silvermoon82 interesting, thank you! I'm even mostly fluent in the language

It's frightening to watch from afar
