Methods for #trans people to get out of the #USA in the face of #USPol .
No 9

Take a less attractive job outside the USA. Someone with an American accent can get a call center job anywhere.
Be careful of 'call center' type jobs where they fly you into a country with a dodgy government. Sometimes people are trafficked into call centers where they're forced to work scam calls and prevented from leaving. We can help with a sanity check before you sign anything.

We are helping a number of Somali #lesbian s. Somali culture places them in a very serious situation, subjected to FGM. A woman moving alone is liable to sexual violence with little chance of retribution to the perpetrator. Families often hunt them. Please help them. it costs us about 2500 EUR to save a life.

Reminder -
If you are approached by queer people claiming to be in a refugee camp in Kenya (Kakuma), Goma, or South Sudan, it is very likely they are scammers.
We are seeing organized scamming activity ongoing.
Before sending money to them, recommend checking with us. We don't have enough as a community to be cheated.

Standing in the bakery line at Safeway in a small town.
Old fellow, kind who has enough tools in his truck to change your engine, is in front of me.
He orders a sheet cake, and asks the worker to "put some gay stuff on it", since his son has just come out.
The worker draws a rainbow, dad picks out rainbow flags. Asks her what else is "gay".
After he leaves it takes the young baker and I a moment to stop smiling at each other.

@lgbtqia
Just had to tell a trans woman, on the run from family after violence, broke, on the streets, that I can't help.
We're so far behind it's not even fair to her to do an intake interview.

If you can help, we could use it. 2500 EUR would get us one person closer to her place in line.

@lgbtqia
If you can help us, now is a very good time to do it. We need to extract some folks very, very quickly. We need to raise 2000 we don't have in order to do it. We are under attack.

Please spread this, we don't have much reach.

Still desperately needing to find someone who is expert in the disability system in the USA.

We continue to need more support in this time. We're swamped with requests for help and trying to do a good job for you all, but we are also doing our normal job, and that takes money. If you can support us, bless you

We're absolutely swamped. US education isn't itself expensive, but we have other, ongoing extractions worldwide. Those need funds literally to keep people alive.
If you can help us out now it'd be very much appreciated.

So far things have been fairly quiet. We published an article on safety during civil unrest back when Trump was arrested. It's worth a review.
