I’m done holding out hope for the United States. My president is trying to erase my existence, I’m gender non-binary, and he is trying to force me back into the office, I’m a government employee. There are other reasons too but this has been the breaking point.
I don’t even know the first thing about leaving the country other than knowing that I need a job in that country. I don’t really have money and I don’t plan to run away from my debts either. I don’t feel like I’m safe here. I have a wife and child too.
I did make another comment. I’m making a new one because there’s some things I want to add.
The first thing I would look at is what ideals or freedoms are you looking for? Then start looking for countries that match those ideals.
In my other comment, I said get an attorney. Let me follow up on that one. It isn’t I would suggest get an attorney. I would say have to have an attorney. I can’t tell you the number times I’ve heard attorney say a client went into a courtroom, tried to talk to a judge, said exactly what they were supposed to say did exactly what they were supposed to do, and the judge ruled against them. Then the attorney goes in and says the same thing and the judge rules in favor. It’s just the way the system is so I would you basically have to have an attorney. So I would talk to several attorneys and find out what would it cost beginning to end For you to be able to live in that country.
They will probably only be able to give you a ballpark number. Whatever number they give you don’t act shocked just say I thank you and appreciate the information.
As far as cost if you didn’t have the money. GoFundMe. That’s my best answer for you.
Even if the first go fund me, doesn’t get you enough money you just take that money put it in the bank. Then do another one.
I would suggest advertising the hell out of it. Now this one is gonna sound weird, but it might actually work. Find conservative based websites and advertise it there. Be honest about who you are. Then say you want to leave the country and you’re not coming back, but you don’t have the to be able to do it. Not all conservatives hate trans people but there are some that do and they wanna make them leave. Use that in your favor. Expect to get a lot of hate mail, but nothing says you actually have to read the comments. Maybe you can get some money from them. Like I said it’s a strange idea, but I could actually see it playing out , maybe not too large scale But any money is better than no money.
The question that I don’t really know here is whether or not when you are leaving is if you’re going to give up your American citizenship. If you plan to give up your American citizenship, then put that into the GoFundMe page. Put that into your advertisement when you’re trying to advertise .
Why would you get an attorney? Why?
And why would they want to trigger a shitmagnet?
It just sounds like 2 bad advices to me. As others said: find a country that fits your views and hunt for a job. A good employer will even help you move, you have to be lucky with the opportunity though.
Why would you want to get an attorney? Have you ever tried to migrate from one country into another? It’s not a fun process there’s a butt load of paperwork, attorneys know who to talk to where to go what paperwork to get. If for any reason there’s a legal issue, the attorney is going to see it from a mile off, long before you ever realize there’s even a problem and be able to fix it.
They are also going to be able to give you legal advice about that new country such as common misconceptions about that country, legal system or issues that people who immigrate from the US into that country don’t realize.
The attorney is going to have a wealth of knowledge for you to make your transition to that new country easier. Even if the Attorney may not know it off the top of their head as to how to solve it. They will know where to go to get the information.
Why would you want to trigger a , in your words, shit magnet, Sometimes shit magnets are willing to hand you cash to get rid of you. Not often , but even if all you get out of it is a $10, it’s $10 you didn’t have before.Take the money where you can and run like hell.
I think you overestimate attorneys. I don’t think an attorney will be worth the money and I don’t think they will know any better than you if you do your basic research and yeah I have moved twice myself.
Moving abroad should not trigger anything illegal such that you need to cover yourself beforehand with an attorney.
If something goes wrong you get your right to move denied. If it goes right, the local authorities can support you, I would not put my money on an americam attorney. And yeah, no, let’s agree to disagree on your second advice, I would not risk online harassment for 10 bucks lol.
But this is just my opinion, happy to be proven wrong, an example would suffice.
