I legitimately can’t imagine how awful it must be to be trans in Russia. Well, pretty much anywhere really, now that I think of it. Trans people just can’t catch a break. I feel so bad for them.
You and me both, fam. I can’t even imagine how it must be for a trans person to live in the US south - it is just mind-baffling to think of what it must be in other countries that barely even recognize any of those rights or are even outright hostile to the identity.
I can’t speak for every trans person in the South, but for me, it’s pretty fucking awful.
Part of it is my area(lot of old white conservatives). They really don’t give a fuck. I have had to listen to 10 minute rants about gender politics because they want a pink gender reveal cake.
We did multiple cake variations for Valentine’s. All stick figures. We “dared” to put rainbows on a couple of them. We had to get rid of them because people complained about STICK FIGURES under rainbows.
I have to make sure I’m in a safe place to even begin feeling like myself.

I really hope some countries will provide asylum, but I doubt that
I imagine this is why many people that might consider it just dont. It’s easier sometimes to just do the expected things at the expense of one’s self.
Like you said, I think it’s pretty awful in the majority of countries with few exceptions
