    I know this is a meme but if I were trans, and living in the US, I would 100% do my best to GTFO.

    I was legit thinking a few days ago, we (Australia) should invite progressive voting Americans to migrate to Australia and ship our Trumpets over there.

      Been working on it for the past 6 months. Part of the process for applying for Permanent Residence is a background check by the FBI though, and they’re really dragging their feet on mine.

        From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.

        Did you submit via mail or at a US post office with digital submission? Post office is much faster. Maybe you filed a dispute? Wishing you luck!!

          I sent it through the post office, yeah. The wait time is “up to 12 weeks” and I’m halfway through week 9 now.

    i’m front massachusetts and would love to either go to montreal, bc, or nfl/pei - the goal would be owning a small indie queer bookstore in montreal but i’m also in school to be a teacher <3

    well i ultimately want to go to ireland, norway, scotland/shetland (before the uk government became so shit) or denmark since for me it’s about the complete culture change to be someone completely different than my pretransition self but i also have two cats and am deathly afraid of flighting and travel so canada is easier :3
