My son is trans. Please vote for Joe Biden so he can have the protections he needs and I don't have to stay up at night worrying about him.
I am very good friends with a trans women who I worked with for a number of years. She is seriously considering leaving the US because of this bullshit. So yes, please vote for Biden.
Also, I hope you son is doing well! It's a hell of a process.
My best friend is trans and he's considering doing the same. It's so bullshit that he has to leave an entire life behind because the conservatwats are so hateful.
It's slightly comforting to think that after they've forced every group out of the country with their hatred and vitriol, they'll eventually start eating themselves.
But not before they had their feast on everyone who cant/wont leave
Most people are unable to flee the U.S. Most countries will not simply accept someone without meeting specific criteria.
I wouldn't be shocked, though, if at least one or two countries would accept trans asylum seekers.
I just hope it'd be more like trans krakoa and less like trans genosha
I want to leave the US but I honestly don't know how. I have no idea if I have any skills that'd let me get hired by a non-us company, which is kinda what's necessary to immigrate to another country, right?
Level of strictness and skill depends on the country. Start researching so you know what’s needed.
there's also the idea that you go to a college, possibly a community college, and then transfer to an out of country college for the degree, which I have heard is a great way to be able to live in a country, acclimate, and work from there
You can leave the US, open entrepreneurship in the other country, and have a remote contract between this legal entity and a US company.
Friendly reminder that everyone who believes in accelerationist BS is privileged af.
Looking at you, Hexbear… and Lemmy.ml people who deleted my comments yesterday calling out Hexbear as tankies
Sadly, the behavior isn’t limited to certain instances though
“accelerationist”? Pardon my ignorance, but what’s that?
The idea that we cannot have real change without some for of revolution, so we should make things go to their extreme, and cause some kind of cultural revolution.
I see. I understand that as a path, but that seems like the “option of last resort” to me, and these guys want to make it the proposed one?
No, it's people who think accelerating the country into a hyper capitalist fascist hellhole will lead to the accelerated collapse of the capitalist system. Then revolution will bring the promised land to them. Of course they don't realize that collapse isn't necessarily guaranteed.
Hey not everyone from ml is a dipshit. Some of us just stumbled into ml because it was a stable and popular instance when we joined.
Hexbear on the other hand? I don't think you would just accidentally join that place, at least not without getting banned the first time you say something against their pro fascist hive mind.
I just had another comment on ml deleted today for saying some people on ml are bootlickers. Becoming less and less of a fan lately
I've been a trans woman for 10 years and an immigrant for much longer. This is one of the worst existential threats I've faced. I have had to sit down and discuss serious contingency plans with my partner if he wins because there is no chance I'm sticking around.
I just want to exist dammit. I'm tired of being persecuted for simply existing.
People don't realize (and some people just outright refuse to admit) that we are in the middle of a genocide of trans people. Trump will make that so much worse.
I wish your son, my daughter's best friend who is trans, and all the other trans people in this country the best life. That won't happen if Trump gets in.

Someone who thinks we should have the worst right now and get it over with.
