    I can’t. I’m too poor, my gender is illegal to put on an American passport, and Canada/Mexico aren’t interested in taking asylees or refugees.

    Besides, if everyone leaves, no one will be here to fight back.

    I don’t have the luxury of fleeing.

      That’s true, there need to be people fighting back. But there is a difference in fighting back and being prosecuted for who you are. Being able to fight is a luxury. Know there are programs to help expats in European countries. To find a job, housing, hobbies, meet people, get life started, even tax cuts to make it more attractive. Your gender isn’t illegal to put on a Dutch passport, for example.
