Trans Norwegian politician wants to give asylum to transgender people fleeing Trump's policies
I don't want to diminish how bad the situation is in the US but news like this just make me wonder: what about us from the countries where it never was better than the current Trump policy level? You know, Asia, CIS, Africa, portions of South America.
I could never even dream to receive such healthcare and government attention as I hear our NA comrades get. I worked for years to afford orchi and any other surgery is way beyond my means especially with how hard it is to get a job as a trans person – do you want to know how many times I had to explain that I am not "insane" in a job interview only to obviously never get called back? I've never seen non-DIY HRT or doctors who actually know anything about trans people beyond the ICD-10 basics if that. I had to change my citizenship to be allowed to change my name and gender marker. Where is my asylum?
It's "White Man's Burden" all over again with these people. They'll call third world countries barbaric and transphobic while downplaying or ignoring how the Imperial Core hurts the trans people in those countries. They use bad faith identity politics to justify imperialism and give scraps to minorities within their own countries to maintain the charade.
