Honestly hoping that over the “piled in mass graves” alternative.

Cops are going for felony charges. Insane.

Years of systemic job discrimination - almost every trans person will end up being a denied a job because they’re trans at some point - means that most trans people especially can’t afford to flee.

I don’t think any country would recognize us as refugees, yet or ever. So the only option is immigration, which is insanely expensive and complicated.

Conservatives have explicitly gone after SEL (social emotional learning) curriculum. It’s one of those toxic keywords like “CRT” that they attack instinctively.

I’ve seen local universities get harassed on Facebook for having queer studies classes.

I can read French. Read Proust even. Writing and speaking a little harder, but if immersed I have enough of the vocabulary I’d be okay.

But I think the deciding line is that claiming “refugee” status explicitly isn’t going to work. I think Canada also expects masters degrees for teaching - I was two hours away from mine but realistically can’t finish.

I feel like Disney has internal stuff? I listened to a podcast where an ex employee changed the fonts on a bunch of stuff to be wingdings, etc, and made everything unusable.

Kanopy is a streaming service my local library has, and it’s great for documentaries, foreign films, and older movies.

Most countries are refusing to accept us for asylum, because they don’t want to piss off the U.S. idk if there’s been a single person who’s managed an asylum claim.

If you do know of a civilized country/school that wants a physics/calculus teacher, and would be willing to pay for relocation and help with the visa, do tell.

David Irving didn’t invent Holocaust denial. Is he guiltless in propagating it?

Many of them don’t see the value in an education. Look at “unschooling” etc.

Kids would mute the classes and watch Netflix. It was a complete joke.

Self paced online classes are also really popular now. You can Google the answers and use LLMs to write your essays, which aren’t typically graded anyway.

“Kingsley Shacklebolt” and “Cho Chang”…

She’s literally been denying the Holocaust killed trans people. She funded a court case that made it so that were I live in the UK, it would be illegal for me to piss in any public restroom.

That’s like saying David Irving was “viciously attacked for having opinions out of the mainstream.”

The conspiracy right claims that every shooter is trans. Every school shooting Alex Jones is immediately on the air suggesting that it’s because of anti depressants or HRT.

The Nazis exploited this by using vague laws like Paragraph 175 to persecute homosexuals. The law wasn’t designed for this, but its vague wording allowed for expanded interpretation to fit the regime’s agenda.

This is incorrect. Paragraph 175 was always designed to prosecute gay sex, and was enforced even during the Weimar Republic. What the Nazis did was expand it - you didn’t have to have sex with a man, just do something that might lead to sex with a man. Essentially, gay men could have gotten away with holding hands or even kissing in earlier eras, sex needed to be proven. But the Nazis made it essentially any gay behavior.

Paragraph 175 continued to be enforced after the Nazis were kicked out - it stayed on the books in West Germany essentially unchanged until 1969. After ‘69 it was changed to only apply to sex with men under 21 or prostitution.

Gay men who were liberated from the camps who had charges under Paragraph 175 were often sent back to finish their sentences. The handbook for the Allies mandated this.

A 2018 report from the Indiana Maurer University School of Law, along with a subsequent report in the UCLA Journal of Gender and Law, found that, based on accounts of former inmates, it was common for trans women placed in men’s prisons to be assigned to cells with aggressive cisgender male cellmates to maintain social control and to, as one inmate described it, “keep the violence rate down”. Trans women used in this manner are often raped daily. This process is known as “V-coding”, and has been described as so common that it is effectively “a central part of a trans woman’s sentence”.

I lost my 2A rights because I put up signs at a troubled teen facility, and that apparently counted as “stalking” the CEO.

I can’t really even detransition. I’ve lived my entire adult life as a man.

I’m so terrified. What does this look like? Jail, inpatient institutionalization? Will they take away my testosterone?

My brain is on fire. I don’t know where to reach out for help.
