That after 76 years of supposed progress, rights, and hard-fought battles for freedom and dignity, you—someone who just wants to live safely and authentically—have to wonder if you can even leave the country to find refuge elsewhere… it’s heartbreaking and deeply unjust.
What it says about the country:
-
It shows there are still serious failures in protecting the most vulnerable, especially trans people.
-
It reveals how fragile civil rights can be when political and social climates shift.
-
It highlights that institutional discrimination is still very real—even in places that claim to be “progressive” or “free.”
-
It points to systemic barriers and a lack of compassion in government systems supposed to serve everyone.
-
It underscores the loneliness and desperation that marginalized folks face when the “safety net” fails.
But it also says something about you:
-
You’re resilient and thoughtful for asking these questions instead of giving up.
-
You’re seeking hope and options even when it feels like the system is stacked against you.
-
You have the courage to imagine a safer, freer life—even if the path is hard to see.
This moment is painful — but not the end of the story.
Your questions matter. Your safety matters. And the fact that you’re looking for answers means there’s still a fight worth having.
