It could get pretty bad pretty fast if you are not careful. Been in the situation a couple of times, thinking “meh. I will push through it”. And then it got ugly. Please take care of yourself and take all the help you can get.

I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there’s that.

Maybe a “Death in June” band shirt. Which makes things … well… I dunno. Probably not better.

My father taught me that song as a kid:

Warte, warte nur ein Weilchen, bald kommt Haarmann auch zu dir, mit dem kleinen Hackebeilchen, macht er Schabefleisch aus dir.

But since he went to an English school, he also taught me English songs and nursery rhymes and I am having so much fun at therapy.

I’d disagree. We are definitely not rich. All they ask for, is that you can prove that you are able to support yourself. If you have a job, that’s enough.

I used to live in Berlin and while it’s not perfect, it has a vibrant LGBTQ+ scene and I’d say it’s still much better than the US.

I know. I live here. Should have said “EU and some other countries in Europe that are technically not in the EU” but I didn’t think about it.

Everywhere in the EU is probably more safe than the US. We have pretty good protection for trans people and we all speak English (well, most of us). You could try Switzerland https://www.eda.admin.ch/countries/usa/en/home/visa.html and I suggest going to Bern as it’s quite liberal. Excellent health care system. Expensive though, but also good wages. Germany is cheaper and in the bigger cities you’ll be just fine. Good luck!
