Ron De Harte said that Canadians make up a significant component of their travel industry, with roughly 300,000 Canadians coming to Palm Springs every year.
I hope your passport shows up too… but I have a friend of a friend who is post-transition, but had their passport reverted to their birth gender because DoS is apparently doing that now. If that happens to you: I think maybe you have a good case to drive up to the Canadian border and request asylum/refugee status or something like that.
It’s fucking insane that I’m even suggesting that to another American, in America. And it’s even more insane that it’s a reasonable and feasible idea.
As a Canadian, I think Canada should start accepting trans refugees from the USA. I also think we must absolutely not elect the transphobic MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre. It’s crazy that some Canadians look at what’s happening in the USA and want the same here, or think of nothing but wanting to pay less tax even if it means destroying everything that makes Canada good.
I am really sincerely hoping that our resident psychos don’t decide to treat you guys like Russia is treating Ukraine. And… well, if we do: Vive la Résistance; mort aux envahisseurs.
I never tried changing the gender marker on my documentation because that always seemed like too much risk for so little gain for an enby like me. My government name only gets used at work anyway, and I’m content to let straight people assume I’m one of them so long as I set off every gaydar and transciever in range.
I just hate when the universe justifies my cynicism, it makes me feel like the stereotypical old anarchist.

Indeed. If only Americans would stop their Nazis before that becomes our job.
I agree that we’re a fucking embarrassment
An embarrassment, but more importantly a danger to the USA and the rest of the world.
Some of us are trying.
But not enough of us.
Canada does accept US refugees

I just learned transceiver from you and bless you for teaching me.
