I haven't been on this site for a while, and remember there being a lot of internal debate about leaving the US. I can't fucking take it anymore, I'm living every day full of disgust, anger, and hatred. I don't have to explain why to this audience.

I am not a doctor or scientist, I was a freelance writer until this last year and have been underemployed for months due to the cutbacks in tech and AI. I am neurodivergent. I was booted from my last two jobs for talking to union organizers (they had spies) and not pushing a pro-Israel narrative when training LLMs. I've joined orgs and protests and I'm tired. I have no faith in the western left besides just being "informed" which is literally killing me and has alienated me from all of my friends and family. I've met a few comrades through organizing but we just bitch and get each other worked up over the fact that we live in the 4th Reich.

I have some savings, no kids, no house or car payments. My partner is SE Asian, immigrated 2 years ago with a green card but is also feeling the same way about living in the US with the added cruelty of how bad immigrants and dark skinned people are treated here. Just the overall dehumanization to endure to survive.

Can I please move someplace and grow fruit trees and wait for the right moment to join the PeeEL*Ay.

    Yup, the Nordic countries are absolutely awful in that regard. I’m planning on leaving and as crazy as it sounds the US is a possible choice for me.

    Canada is pretty good, definitely one of the better countries in the world when it comes to gender affirming care. The Netherlands has awfully long waitlists for HRT, but if you’ve already started HRT and have a gender dysphoria diagnosis you might be able to skip the waitlist. Portugal is alright from what I hear, but I don’t know much about what it’s like.

    Generally the best countries in Europe in terms of GAC seem to be Spain, France and Germant. Also keep in mind that injectable estradiol is basically unavailable in almost all of Europe. Only a few countries such as Czechia and Slovakia have it on the market.
