I’m done holding out hope for the United States. My president is trying to erase my existence, I’m gender non-binary, and he is trying to force me back into the office, I’m a government employee. There are other reasons too but this has been the breaking point.

I don’t even know the first thing about leaving the country other than knowing that I need a job in that country. I don’t really have money and I don’t plan to run away from my debts either. I don’t feel like I’m safe here. I have a wife and child too.

    Okay, gotta explain empathy I guess. Has any kind of descriptor ever been used to hurt your feelings? A slur, name calling, or even an unflattering description of your looks or personality?

    Well when a nonbinary person is misgendered they feel bad. What you are telling people to do is just accept that they will feel bad when being discussed in their workplace.

    It’s not about how the person presents themselves, it’s about how they prefer to be recognized.
