    No, there aren’t “49 other states this person can move to”. Because all 50 states have the same problems if not worse: a pattern of systematic delegitimization and dehumanization of transgender people. I moved to Colorado because of its track record on transgender rights. It was the best of the 50 options and I still got threatened with a gun.

    And “a single person”? Don’t make me laugh. That’s just the incident that showed me that enough was enough. That’s not even the first time I’d been held at gun point. I’d been discriminated against, beaten with a fireplace poker, tortured, and the police didn’t do shit. Not just in one state. Not just in two states. Not in three. Not in four. Not in five. Colorado is state # 6 that I had lived in.

      Oh please, you saw it as a quick way to immigrate and you leapfrogged over everyone with a legitimate asylum claim. I have no sympathy and no remorse for my country kicking your ass to the curb.

        “leapfrogged”? I’m almost 5 years in, no PR, and still going through the process. Not to mention, my claim is legitimate too.

          Good, hopefully they send you home. And no, it’s not legitimate.
