Safety and survival are the top priorities, so the furthest from “actually trying to kill you” is ideal IMO. But getting to another country is easier said than done, so its get going to where you can be as safe as you can. If that’s Portugal, do it. If its a blue city in a blue state, do that. If its surviving on a homestead and avoiding all contact possible… Thats still an option.
One of my friends is planning to go to Toronto for an “extended work trip” her boss is arranging.
Is there any hope that this designation makes it easier for trans Americans to apply for asylum in other countries? I’d love to see Canada step up and welcome trans refugees.

I hope they do make it easier for trans Americans to get in!
With any luck, what’s happening here right now will be a big enough warning for your fellow Canadians…
