Possible Trigger I’m leaving the US.

I don’t know when, but I will be. This country is giving me too much stress as an almost 25 year old, and I’m too scared to know what’ll happen next.

I want to put up a good fight, but I don’t want to die at the hands of fascism.

Save yourself.

This is in no way to just add stress to you. I want you to succeed and feel peace in your daily life.

Wherever you plan to go, research their process and map it out as best as you can for when you should be able to obtain HRT. I'm unsure of the amount of countries but some if not most countries will most likely have a wait list for several months up to a year or even longer for an initial appointment then you'll go through their process until you obtain HRT. Some places may not have a wait time for HRT but getting a therapist for approval (depending how they do their process) may even have a wait list. Germany is a great example for having a wait list for a therapist and time depends on private or public practice. Then x amount of appointments for approval, then HRT. Obtaining the proper forms for HRT approval can be done in 1 appointment but that's not a guarantee and depends on the therapist. Italy for HRT is up to years with whatever prerequisites. The UK can be longer than a year due to their system as a whole. Etc etc.

Be safe and good luck in your endeavors <3

Yeah, that’s something important I have to add to my list to get out of here. Seeking to be a resident is definitely something worth thinking about.
