I am disabled with no income and no college degree. It is basically impossible for me to immigrate to another country, let alone with my entire family, who I absolutely could not leave behind. I’ve even looked into applying under asylum but most countries have agreements with the US that designate the country as “safe” (which is beyond absolute bullshit) and so people from here won’t even be considered
You are likely going to have to leave your family behind, in order to thrive elsewhere. I am assuming - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that your family are safer than you in that environment.
I'll cut you a deal, right now, based on nothing but confidence in my own endeavour. If you're willing to make the jump, I'll get you out of there, to somewhere better, within six months.

My family are all my trans partners and friends and are not any safer than me, we help take care of each other and we’re all in this together. I’m not talking about my biological “family”, almost all of who voted for Trump and most of who have been dead to me for almost a decade, I’m talking about my real one. There is no way in hell I could ever be happy leaving them behind. I already want to die but death would be even more preferable to me than that

Apologies. I had assumed you meant biological family. I appreciate what you're saying then - I don't think any of us would leave our people behind in good conscience.

For Hex, and anyone else who is having a difficult time feeling targeted by our country, and by the election results. A friend sent along a list of LGBTQ+ mental health resources:
Trans Lifeline: (877)565-8860
LGBT National Hotline: (888)843-4564
National Suicide Crisis Lifeline: 988 and text PRIDE for LGBTQ+ services
Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741-741

I want to note that the last two on that list are mandated reporter lines and they are required to report calls regarding suicide to the police, so use at your own risk. Trans Lifeline is explicitly divested from the police and the LGBT National Hotline states they will not contact any authorities on your behalf
