Rynn Azerial Willgohs, a 50-year-old transgender woman, has been rapidly researching ways to flee the United States. She’s from the U.S., but with physical attacks against transgender and nonbinary people on the rise and lawmakers targeting transgender people with increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, Willgohs is worried.
The national landscape, accompanied by some of her own personal experiences, has made a future in the U.S. feel untenable for Willgohs. In March 2021, when Willgohs had just started her transition, she was traveling across the state for work when she decided to stop at a public bathroom. A man followed her inside and pushed her up against a wall. “I thought he was going to choke me to death,” she told VICE News. Today, she mostly feels safe in Fargo, North Dakota, where she lives, but she’s careful in rural areas. And when she leaves the state, she often doesn’t feel safe at all.
“There’s like 30 states right now I wouldn’t even drive through,” Willgohs said.
Her own experiences, and the increasingly hostile national climate, inspired Willgohs to start TRANSport, a budding non-profit that seeks to help trans people transition, navigate bureaucratic mazes, and ultimately finance their journeys as they flee the country.
Willgohs is considering claiming asylum in Iceland, a country she visited last summer and considers more accepting—and safer—than the U.S. And she felt like being trans was a “non-issue” while there. Though there’s currently a lack of clarity around whether it’s even possible for trangender U.S. citizens to claim asylum elsewhere—and an expert told VICE News it’s unlikely—the devolving situation in the U.S. has inspired people like Willgohs to try.
“All you need to do is look at the news and see how bad it’s going to get in the country,” Willgohs said.

Ya beat me to it.
Flee the U.S.? I doubt if anyone is chasing them.
Somehow I do not believe ‘they’want to move and leave behind the not-for-profit little fundraiser and the rest of the benefits of living here in the states.
‘They’ could move to Canada and if they’re still unhappy there’s no wait to be euthanized - just show up and it can happen.
“ I hear Iran is nice.”
Believe it or not Iran does accept this. Homosexuality is illegal but men can become transsexual to avoid prosecution.
Good.
This is bad?
A quick search for the subject shows the article at “Vice” and “Jezebel”.
Might be a clue in there somewhere. 🤔
I could be wrong but I doubt that is true.
... and lawmakers targeting transgender people with increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, ...
That is patently false.
Smart move!
She just needs a compass.
Don’t let the door hit ya.
The caste is hallmarked by degenerate minds, so lying for effect is just another behavior they emulate.
Gee, that’s a shame.
He. Rynn was born with wedding tackle, and XY chromosomes.
Even better. Everybody wins.
It’s a shopworn technique of victimhood groups going back decades. I’m sure it’s still effective since most of the public does no research on what they hear and employs few critical thinking skills either.
Leave the United States and take a tranny under each arm with you.

Uh...sure, OK. The USA is a hellhole. You gotta get out of here. I’ll donate. Don’t come back.
