Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico?

  Mexico City has a much better scene for queer folks if you’re serious. Though there is quite a bit of pushback currently about US remote workers moving down there and gentrifying.

    I really don’t want remote work. I want to be in a shitty high school fighting the Good Fight. (Like not in a self aggrandizing Freedom Riders or Dangerous Minds way, but in a “yeah I was arrested in high school too, let’s talk about it” way.

      I’m sorry you’ve lost the right to do actual good work in the places that probably need it most. I don’t know about teaching in Mexico but you could try Canada? Although we’re being picky with immigrants now too (and our shitty government refuses to admit that trans people from the US should be granted refugee status here).

  If there’s no evidence, why does it matter in the US? Not like employers have access to your birth certificate. Serious question.

    They can background check and see that my SSN has been used with a female name.
