    What would you suggest? I have three trans friends who are making plans to move, at least for a few years, but not everyone can do that.

      It’s me, another trans who is actively applying to move out of the US. If I were staying here I’d be arming myself too even though I hate everything about guns. I’ve been voting, protesting, community aid, talking with people I know, building relations with my neighbors, it’s all backsliding anyway. Not a lot of options left for me

        1 a republican in office l so we can’t count on any law changing for the better. 2 even if we did reform gun laws the these people won’t give them up. A lot of them won’t even save their own children from disease

      They are very welcome to come here to Washington! Just don’t live too far from the cities or east of the Cascades.

        No, they’re looking moving out of the country. They already live in a liberal state. They’re looking to rent out their current home and just hold out in another country for 4 years and see how it works out. One is of Jewish ancestry and knows their history. Trump promised to send troops into sanctuary cities and they don’t want that to be the one honest thing he’s said.
