I am very good friends with a trans women who I worked with for a number of years. She is seriously considering leaving the US because of this bullshit. So yes, please vote for Biden.

Also, I hope you son is doing well! It's a hell of a process.

My best friend is trans and he's considering doing the same. It's so bullshit that he has to leave an entire life behind because the conservatwats are so hateful.

It's slightly comforting to think that after they've forced every group out of the country with their hatred and vitriol, they'll eventually start eating themselves.

But not before they had their feast on everyone who cant/wont leave

Most people are unable to flee the U.S. Most countries will not simply accept someone without meeting specific criteria.

I wouldn't be shocked, though, if at least one or two countries would accept trans asylum seekers.

I just hope it'd be more like trans krakoa and less like trans genosha

I want to leave the US but I honestly don't know how. I have no idea if I have any skills that'd let me get hired by a non-us company, which is kinda what's necessary to immigrate to another country, right?

Level of strictness and skill depends on the country. Start researching so you know what’s needed.

there's also the idea that you go to a college, possibly a community college, and then transfer to an out of country college for the degree, which I have heard is a great way to be able to live in a country, acclimate, and work from there
