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.

Am I the only one that thinks of George Harrison from the Beatles every time the "Well... Bye" meme pops up here on FR?

Well, as the muzzlim population continues to grow in Europe, and given their hate for anything non-muzzie, it’ll be interesting as to how long these transpeople survive in those circumstances...hmmmm...

Phobe means “fear”, by the way. I don’t know why the left always uses that word to mean “hate”.

It all sounds like a good idea until they realize that the U.S. still won’t be done with them as far as taxes go. Plus, you can’t just drop into a new country and expect to get citizenship.

“The next time she relocates, she hopes it will be to Iceland.”

If they can send ONE of these nutjobs to Iceland, why can’t they send all of them?

Sure is nice to live in America and have the FREEDOM to be a loud and proud nutjob, ain’t it?

Sure wish *I* was afforded the same FREEDOM being a straight, white, Christian, 2A loving female to freely spout my beliefs in The Public Square. :(

Instead, I’m labeled as a ‘hater’ and all other manner of name calling.
