How do I find work outside to leave the United States

I'm done holding out hope for the United States. My president is trying to erase my existence, I'm gender non-binary, and he is trying to force me back into the office, I'm a government employee. There are other reasons too but this has been the breaking point.

I don't even know the first thing about leaving the country other than knowing that I need a job in that country. I don't really have money and I don't plan to run away from my debts either. I don't feel like I'm safe here. I have a wife and child too.

  • I mean, the most likely scenario was to marry a citizen of some country. Example: marry an EU citizen and get a visa to one of the EU countries, learn that country's language, then take a test and become a citizen of that country, which would also get you EU citizenship along with the country's citizenship, and you'd get access to most of Europe via shengen area.

    But since you are already married...

    Your options are either:

    • Be rich enough to fund a bussiness in a EU country. And you said you don't have the money so... next
    • Be a "skilled worker". Do you happen to have a skill that countries are in demand for?
    • Do you have any relative that are close enough in relationship to you in some other country that can sponsor an immigration visa?

    I mean I don't think many countries are accepting LGBT+ refugees yet, most of the world is still considering the US as a democracy, therefore they would likely deny asylum status.

    While moving to another country is probably the safest option, you might not have the oppportunity to do so. Meanwhile, your best course action is, if you aren't already in a blue state blue city, move immediately. Then contact the ACLU for advice. I don't wanna sound like a gun freak, but you might want some firearms to protect yourself. (As in: Defence against potential Maga freaks, don't actually use it against law enforcement, that'd end badly)

  • I did make another comment. I’m making a new one because there’s some things I want to add.

    The first thing I would look at is what ideals or freedoms are you looking for? Then start looking for countries that match those ideals.

    In my other comment, I said get an attorney. Let me follow up on that one. It isn’t I would suggest get an attorney. I would say have to have an attorney. I can’t tell you the number times I’ve heard attorney say a client went into a courtroom, tried to talk to a judge, said exactly what they were supposed to say did exactly what they were supposed to do, and the judge ruled against them. Then the attorney goes in and says the same thing and the judge rules in favor. It’s just the way the system is so I would you basically have to have an attorney. So I would talk to several attorneys and find out what would it cost beginning to end For you to be able to live in that country.

    They will probably only be able to give you a ballpark number. Whatever number they give you don’t act shocked just say I thank you and appreciate the information.

    As far as cost if you didn’t have the money. GoFundMe. That’s my best answer for you.

    Even if the first go fund me, doesn’t get you enough money you just take that money put it in the bank. Then do another one.

    I would suggest advertising the hell out of it. Now this one is gonna sound weird, but it might actually work. Find conservative based websites and advertise it there. Be honest about who you are. Then say you want to leave the country and you’re not coming back, but you don’t have the to be able to do it. Not all conservatives hate trans people but there are some that do and they wanna make them leave. Use that in your favor. Expect to get a lot of hate mail, but nothing says you actually have to read the comments. Maybe you can get some money from them. Like I said it’s a strange idea, but I could actually see it playing out , maybe not too large scale But any money is better than no money.

    The question that I don’t really know here is whether or not when you are leaving is if you’re going to give up your American citizenship. If you plan to give up your American citizenship, then put that into the GoFundMe page. Put that into your advertisement when you’re trying to advertise .

  • You'd need to put a bit more thought into that, at least to start thinking in more detailed terms than "US" and "outside".
    Countries, visa types, schools for your kid, work opportunities for your wife, local language, acceptance of your identity (believe me, majority of places in the world are much worse in that regard than Trump could ever be), etc, etc....

    What I can promise you is that money situation will be worse. Uprooting yourself and moving somewhere is a costly endeavor (did that 2 times, it's not fun), and besides that US is the best country to earn money out there, it's much harder to cover necessities and have disposable income pretty much anywhere else.
