    Having no choice people think we can just jump ship (or I guess the pot) when they don’t realize the people who can’t do it at all because there chained to it

    For instance trans people can’t get passports or renew them meaning they have absolutely no way to leave.

    We need to stay and help the disenfranchised instead of jumping ship

      How so?
      Geniunely don’t understand how being trans prevents you from getting out?
      I’d assume when being asked about your sex, I’d just swallow the pride (no pun intended) and say what the sex at birth was to get the paperwork done. As soon as ones out it won’t matter as much anyway.

        This is not the case. Trans people are being denied passports of either gender marker as officials “wait for clarification” on the new rules. Furthermore, passports are being confiscated.

        Big assumption that they can even get a passport under Der Furher
