Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water.

Pot boiling and the raging inferno are both in America. Go and explore, the world is more peaceful then you think

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. -

Your boyfriend is right. Unless one of you has an in-demand technical degree or a lot of money, immigration to Western countries is going to be out of reach. That leaves you with weakened economies which are either already authoritarian, or trending authoritarian. Even if you could get to a place like Europe, far-right parties emboldened by their new U.S. support are rising in popularity and receiving centrist support in places like France and Germany.
There is no green field to relax in while the rest of the world collapses. You'll have to fight to prevent the slide to fascism wherever you go.

True - it's the rising tide right now and probably for humanity's future since we're on a sinking ship globally. I do have the benefit of working for a global country and a boss who's already told me I can transfer to whichever I pick that they operate in. But he's not as optimistic for his own job needs, and it's still about choosing a country that could possibly just let us die in peace before it also goes to shit.

Hm ok. but again: What prevents me from just not doing the whole passport changing thing in the US and staying X/Y for now, acquiring the passport, getting out and immigrating somewhere else doing and do the whole paperwork there instead.
Please don't take this as an ignorant take. I am neither a US citizen nor trans but interested and feel for my fellow friends on the other side of the pond.

Big oof then. Good luck for the folks that need it to escape.

Yeah most people were like "I'm moving to Canada!" Ignoring the fact that the person most likely to be PM in a couple months is also fully a Musk shill. Europe is pushing right-wing and the UK's been down bad for a while. Maybe Australia or New Zealand?

If you're not out yet, it's not necessarily an issue, but masking hurts them a lot mentally after a while. Those who are already out but haven't changed their documents have to go back to masking (assuming they're willing to) to move forward with getting updated documents. And God's forbid you've started the process but it's not completed, because they might straight up take your docs and tell you to fuck off.

I genuinely so sorry and wish the good Americans could move over easier.
One word of advice you don't have to take at all. If you wanna travel look into placements like teaching or volunteering. Having a more global perspective rather than America focus will help a lot, seeing a world outside the bougie third world nation of America. But I'm rooting for you bud -

“The guy trying to help me out of a pot is a different type of left than me, so i don’t want his help, and that other guy below me is also a different type of left so fuck him. Anyone who is slightly right or left of me is a fascist and I’m gonna enjoy watching them boil”

It's still not warm enough for population over a tipping point, you are just more aware of the boiling apparatus. I believe humanity will jump once it gets warm enough, much like a frog does, even in a slowly boiling pot of water. I trust humanity, after all we've survived so far, our ancestors overcoming much much worse. Can you imagine living in feudalism? Or sword fighting in medieval times? Or when we had to hunt?
