I’ve experienced torture, it’s essentially legal to fire me at any point for being trans (which has happened multiple times) and I’m financially fucked to the point where I am bordering homelessness.

I can teach science, math, history and have experience and certifications. I will move anywhere in the world (that is safe/has access to testosterone) to teach, as long as I can have help figuring out visas and maybe help with the cost of the plane getting there.

I’ve thought about Peace Corps, but I am concerned that the current administration will fuck with that program too.

    idk about asylum but Thailand has a pretty permissive visa system where you just keep renewing it every few months for a small fee

      Not at all how it works. I live in Thailand on a work visa, but you can only get those for a very short job list (like a teacher). People do border and visa runs every few months but that’s tiring and you can be denied entry randomly, and obviously you can’t have a job in Thailand with that. There’s a DTV visa you can get if you can prove a remote job and have 500 000 baht in your bank account (that money will always have to be there, you can’t move it out). Other than that there’s a marriage visa and retirement visa (800k in a bank account at all times).

      Heads up: my partner is a refugee from Thailand. She was locked up for criticizing the monarchy on Facebook. It still might be better than your current situation, just saying.

        Tbh, all I want is a single room apartment, a full time job, and access to medical care. If the monarchy can give me that, I’ll shut off all socials and shut up. I am not going to be alive if I am here in October.

          Don’t let comments in the thread end your resolve. You’ve got valuable skills to pitch. Start researching countries and learn as much as possible. I did this in 2021 when I decided to flee this country if the orange bad got reelected and settled on New Zealand. I even did a phone interview. But since 2021, I also entered into a relationship and I decided to stay because her refugee status prevents her from coming with me. Now I’m in the hell that is Tump2, but at least I’m in a healthy livng situation when I turn off my screens.

          This is literally the bare base everyone wants and the vast majority of people don’t have access to.

          As for your original post,CR would not accept you as a refugee as it would piss the state department and they won’t ever do that. CR relies on US for security and investments. There is zero incentive for them to rick that boat.

          I doubt any country you would want to live in would accept you as a refugee.

            Where do I go then?

            I will be homeless in October. If I am homeless, I will kill myself. I already know how cops will treat me.

              practically there is no where to go. Nobody wants us anywhere really.

              Maybe canada? They have a point system ie education and experience will get you bumped up.

              But they are cooling in take now due to their own issues from excess slave imports.

              Immigration is a hard process. I know America is ass but I don’t see how immigration is gonna be an option without family and/or economic support.

              As side note, not sure about the region. But rents have started to go down in some markets. So if threat of homelessness is related to rent increases, there might be “market” solution.

              Otherwise, the only solution to being American peasant is to quit being poor🤕
