Home News Transphobia is on the rise in the US. Meet the transgender people planning to relocate to Europe because they can no longer stand the 'hostile environment.'

Isobel van Hagen

May 7, 2023, 7:48 AM CDT Willgohs in Iceland/ Willgohs in North Dakota Rynn Azerial Willgohs in Iceland, left, and Willgohs in North Dakota at a vigil she organized for a trans woman who was violently attacked in Minneapolis. Rynn Willgohs

The nonprofit TRANSport provides support to transgender Americans who want to leave the country.

The group has received more than 100 applications from potential émigrés in the past few weeks. Leaving the US is "a life-saving measure for a lot of people," one of its founders told Insider.

In anticipation of this story being published, Rynn Azerial Willgohs planned to warn the local police in North Dakota so they could increase protection patrols near her home.

Willgohs, a 51-year-old transgender woman who's active in the LGBTQ-rights community in Fargo, has endured severe harassment, doxing, and stalking and has had to move homes. The next time she relocates, she hopes it will be to Iceland.

When Willgohs visited the remote island nation in the Atlantic on the northernmost fringes of Europe for the first time last year, she was struck by the level of acceptance and the difference in social attitudes. In the next couple of years, Willgohs plans to go into self-imposed exile and leave North Dakota for a place that feels more secure and has more protections for LGBTQ people.

So if “Trans” people want to kidnap my children, attack my house and get in my face when I am in public, is it irrational to be afraid of them?

Why would they go to Europe? If they think it’s bad here, wait’ll they meet the “refugees” over there.

Don’t let the door knob hit you.

Real Americans with morals should not fear the retribution for speaking out against biological sex deniers. Fear of retribution is the only phobia that exists. These freaks need to go. Everyone that is involved in the promotion of biological sex denial need to be imprisoned for life. That includes teachers, school counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, surgeons, hospital administrators, nurses, etc.

Perhaps we could all pitch in and charter a ship for these folks. Star Line might have something suitably unsinkable.

“Transphobia” = Not bowing down and worshiping these people and giving them every single thing they want paid for with tax dollars. AND not wanting your daughters wives and sisters exposed to naked grown men in their bathrooms and showers.

transgender people are, by definition, mentally ill. They suffer from all kinds of psychological problems from depression, addiction and anxiety to narcissism and bi-polar disorder

Trying to define a trend from their “decisions” is like polling homeless people on skid row about the British Monarchy.

They sound heterophobic, given they have an irrational fear of straight people.
