If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

With the recent decisions made by the supreme court, is the United states unsafe enough to trans people for us seek asylum elsewhere? I think these decisions are the government officially saying they do not acknowledge us for who we are. Is it time to start looking to seek asylum?

As an outsider looking in, possibly yes.

Just don't come to the UK right now, it's getting worse and worse at the moment for trans people.

The rest of western Europe is better for this, with many having self-id laws (I think you can change your gender legally without any procedure or having to wait for a doctor to approve you).

Whether you'll get a visa is another question, but a good start is going to study for a degree to get your foot in the door.

Alternatively, for Americans I hear Canada is a good choice, at one point they accepted LGBTQ people on refugee status from America (what a time we live in). Not sure how easy / hard that is to get.

Canada is not accepting American LGBT+ folks' asylum claims, there was a single case of a non-binary person who was not deported because they were a caretaker and because the US could be unsafe, and there is an American trans woman's asylum claim that will be heard, but neither case establishes that American asylum claims will be accepted
