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.

You can’t disagree with any type of behavior anymore without being labelled something. The real phobes are the ones with their dirty fingers constantly pointed at someone for their thought crimes.

I don’t want to meet them. I want them to skedaddle off to Europe.

They brought it on themselves. We didn't care what they did to and with each other in New York and San Francisco, but we normals emphatically do NOT want them proselytizing their sickness in our streets, schools, libraries and online where kids will see it.

The people most likely to murder a 'trans' are black men when they discover 'the woman' they've been buying drinks for an coming on to is really a guy. There are NO DEATHS of trans by MAGA... Look up the statistics liberal crazies...

So happy that we have a hostile environment for the unnatural and nefarious phenomenon.

There is no such thing as transphobia. We just think trannies shouldn’t intrude on our lives. They’re a PITA.

Wait till she sees the cost of living in Iceland.He needn’t worry about that. The chances of his asylum request being approved to emigrate to Iceland is virtually nil, as the article later points out.

Transphobia is on the rise... A phobia is an irrational or unwarranted fear. Who is afraid of trannies?

It was with the gay guys, too. I was never afraid of them. Just disagreed. The institution of marriage has been forever changed by them.

The people most likely to murder a 'trans' are black men - - when they discover 'the woman' they've been buying drinks for and coming on to is really a guy. There are NO DEATHS of trans by MAGA... Look up the statistics liberal crazies... And stop blaming us... deathS of sexual weirdos is usually by black men AND by fellow sexual weirdos. It's NOT BY WHITE MIDDLE CLASS, MIDDLE AGED CHRISTIANS.Can you sexual weirdos read? Call your friends in the FBI and MSM and ask for FACTS. WE also didn't toss bleach on Jessie Smollett or kill Matthew Shepard - a former gay lover killed him... YOUR SIDE HAS BELIEFS BASED ON LIES AND WE'RE SICK OF BEING BLAMED FOR YOUR PROBLEMS.

First thing they should do when they get there is turn in their U.S. Passorts to the nearest embassy - for temporary storage in the Burn Bag.
