A Trans American Fled Trump’s America for Safety and Came Running Home
PJ Media ^ | 08/10/2026 | David Manney

Posted on 08/10/2026 9:18:04 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Jane-Michelle Arc wanted out of President Donald Trump's America. In April 2025, the transgender software engineer left San Francisco, flew to the Netherlands, and asked for asylum after saying harassment and a frightening encounter with a driver had made life in the United States feel dangerous.

New York Post:

A transgender American who fled the US in a huff at President Trump’s reelection has been forced to return home to escape a notorious European asylum center — admitting that leaving was “the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.”

Software engineer Jane-Michelle Arc, 48, returned home to California after failing to win asylum in the Netherlands — and discovering life in the notorious Ter Apel refugee camp was far more terrifying than anything under Trump’s America.

Before returning, Arc gave numerous interviews decrying the conditions at the camp — specifically referring to anti-trans hostility from other asylum seekers, most from Syria, Eritrea, Somalia, Turkey, Algeria and Morocco.

“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” Arc previously admitted to the Guardian of the “Wildly stupid” decision to flee.

“I hear a lot of people saying: ‘You are an idiot. You came here from America.’ People will tell me: ‘Did you think about moving to California?’ And then I say: ‘Well, I lived in San Francisco’ and then they go: ‘Oh, that’s a heaven for gay people,'” Arc admitted.

I'll give Arc credit for having a brass pair; walking away from your country because you truly believe you're in danger takes nerve.

The judgment behind that decision deserves considerably less applause. Arc left one of America's most socially liberal cities, convinced Europe would be safer.

The destination was Ter Apel, the Netherlands' main asylum registration center. Arc found something very different from safety. After months around the camp, Arc called leaving America "the dumbest thing I've ever done" and said conditions there left him afraid of being hurt or killed.

Stupid is as stupid does. Not feeling any sympathy.

Left USA after harassment and a frightening encounter with a driver.

What did the driver in America do? Use the wrong pronoun?

>>a frightening encounter with a driver had made life in the United States feel dangerous.<<

The driver may have gently suggested that the rainbow flats “she” was wearing didn’t match well with “her” five-o’clock shadow.
Oh! The huge manatee!

That driver was far less dangerous to the tranny than trannies are to the rest of us.

A mentally ill man has #TDS, acted on it, and this created big problems for him?

Who would have ever guessed?

Untreated severe mental illness is bad, mmmkay?

Suicide rates among those with severe gender dysphoria are extremely high.

This ‘person’ is mentally ill. He has heard the Life Changing Gospel of Christ, but refuses to listen. Now, it’s likely that his heart is fully hard; unable to be saved...

What about YOU ?
