Death to

Canada is a drive away.

Except how are you supposed to get over the border while trans? 🤦‍♂️

Also, are reactionary, capitalist, settler-colonialist scum too. Give it (extremely charitably) a decade at most before decides to use trans people as their preferred scapegoat population for the evils of the contribution to Empire.

There are unprotected crossing points. Drive across at North Dakota. Boat across Erie, Ontario, or Huron. Until your passports are invalidated, you should be able to cross anywhere.

I'm not saying Canada is perfect, but don't project what the US is on us. Are you really saying you'd rather stay in place with a revoked passport than go somewhere that might repress you in another decade?

I'm sorry things are ahitty and stressful, I don't wish that on anyone. I'm only offering one option that might be lower-effort than others.

don't project what the US is on us

Nah I don't have to, your local capitalists are doing that for you. And not just your local capitalists in
, it's an indictment of the politics that governs the Western world.

Absolutely not, and I'm not even saying that going to is necessarily a bad escape option for everyone, depending on your individual circumstances. (Anecdotally, my sister spent some time in as a closeted trans woman. Apparently it was worse than , because they thought she was First Nations. So she rolls her eyes when people suggest she goes to .) But people (and all other Westerners) need an ego check whenever they assert that their Western nation is somehow any better than the demonic entity they're desperately trying to suck up to, and eventually will force you to become through austerity and control of your political system.

Really, I want people to temper their expectations if they decide to go to for emancipation. I.e., most people are dealing with the intersection of multiple oppressions, and going to is not gonna change very many of those intersecting oppressions.

I've never been across the border. I assume that if I cross from the US, I will be interacting with Canadian border patrol, not US border patrol?

You interact with both sides, at least at the major crossings I've used. But the side you're entering is typically the more stringent one. And yes, you'd be interacting with Canadian Customs and Immigration.
