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?
I am not familiar enough with international law to evaluate that but…
The US passport and citizenship still counts for something. You don’t need to go through the asylum process to live in most EU countries.
In my country (Finland) you need a job, study or research position (assuming you don’t have an ETA citizenship or familial link).
A citizenship here will take minimum 8 years to get regardless of how you arrive. A permanent residence permit takes 4. The only benefit of asylum status for those is that the clock starts when you arrive vs when you get your first residence permit, but you can apply for a residence also from abroad.
Stay safe.
Ps. Don’t trust me, I know nothing.
