I’ve experienced torture, it’s essentially legal to fire me at any point for being trans (which has happened multiple times) and I’m financially fucked to the point where I am bordering homelessness.

I can teach science, math, history and have experience and certifications. I will move anywhere in the world (that is safe/has access to testosterone) to teach, as long as I can have help figuring out visas and maybe help with the cost of the plane getting there.

I’ve thought about Peace Corps, but I am concerned that the current administration will fuck with that program too.

    Everywhere in the EU is probably more safe than the US. We have pretty good protection for trans people and we all speak English (well, most of us). You could try Switzerland https://www.eda.admin.ch/countries/usa/en/home/visa.html and I suggest going to Bern as it’s quite liberal. Excellent health care system. Expensive though, but also good wages. Germany is cheaper and in the bigger cities you’ll be just fine. Good luck!

        I mean, there are plenty of wealthy immigrants here, but I would say there are probably more immigrant families from regular or (relatively) poor families around. Like, people with a regular income who are working a regular job, not your average finance expat from an English-speaking country on an all-expenses-paid expat package plus a neat half million bucks per year salary on top.

        That said, the non-expat immigrants I know are overwhelmingly from eastern European countries, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the acceptance policy is biased against non-Europeans. You don’t see many average working-class Americans around here unless they married a Swiss person.

      Skip Germany. They’ve just banned wearing the LGBTQ+ flag in parliament claiming it’s “not neutral”. Even though, yanno, banning the damn thing definitely isn’t neutral.

        Tbf, banning a symbol in a government building is not the same as cops arresting you for using a bathroom. Its nowhere even close.
