What even becomes of us now? What recourse do we have?

What’s going to happen to us?

Are we going to die?

    It’s gone a bit viral on Mastodon but if you plan to leave the US, which is entirely reasonable given the circumstances, do not bother trying to claim asylum. No other country that is safe for trans people or queer folks in general considers the US unsafe and your application will be automatically denied and given the international power the US holds, this probably won’t change even in the most dire circumstances.

    Instead go for a normal travel or work visa, prolong it as long as you can and try to find friends that will help and hide you in case it expires.

      Or come to NZ under a student visa.

      We are crying out for students, unis are acceptable for LGBTQ students with open clubs, and generally safer place to be.

      Time it right you get a 4 year degree including foundation, then go back after Trump, swap to post grad or apply for residency under a skills visa. Oh, pretty sure you also get a 1 year job finder visa after you graduate.

      Are there no places where they can hide? Like being hidden by more trusted people. In WW2 we had that too with persecuted people hiding, but yeah.

      My unfortunate guess is asylum isn’t going to be an option unless Trump tries to go full Nazi with camps and such… And at that point it might be too late for asylum
