Advice from Garabtaag, who works extensively in Malaysia
Advisory to LGBTQ+ refugees:
Recently Malaysia has seen a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ activity by the authorities, including raids of establishments and an order made by the Sultan of Selangor for action against LGBT activities. This has been covered extensively in the local media.

No one was harmed during the extraction. We don't do that.

it's a Harbor Freight route - so of course most of the time it's ok, but so often it's completely useless.

Now It Can Be Told
If you saw a jolly person of size in a red parka and flying a sleigh pulled by 8 reindeer a couple nights ago, you probably thought nothing of it.
We're happy to announce the successful extraction of a #trans man and 6 queer #furries from the North Pole, where conditions have been deteriorating for #queer people for some time.
We would like to thank members of the furry community, Chimney Sweeps Union local 69, and Good Vibrations, who provided the presents.

It's more complex than that - it varies between SSI and SSDI - we waded in and said "we can't become expert enuf in this to have peeps depend on it - we find a real expert"
So looking for a social worker or somebody who works with the system daily.

🧵 Some useful blog posts if you are #trans and in the #usa and not a sought after tech worker or scientist.
First, get a passport

and a bugout bag

Second, this is going to cost something, but here's some ways to do it if you're not Scrooge Mcduck:

Obviously everybody is post Turkey day - we didn't have anyone viewing the ESL teaching/au pair session and ended it. We're going to do it to video and publish, then run a session at a better time.

8. We advocate for transgender refugees around the world, but particularly in the Netherlands where we're based
9. We have resources like consultations with a specialist in obtaining citizenship and a staff attorney.
We are 98% volunteer (we have a paid staff attorney).
We're supported by donations.

List of stuff we do
1. We get #trans people out of places that are dangerous. Yes, like Saudi, like Egypt, like Uganda.
2. We support trans people for a limited time before and after we move them.
3. We maintain an active blog with articles about how to get out of the #usa while trans
https://transrescue.org/blog
4. We have a youtube channel with various informational videos. https://www.youtube.com/@transrescue

This isn't us asking for help for ourselves. We conduct info sessions to help American trans people get out of the USA. We want to help those who are in the disability payments system and/or disabled get out. We're not experts in this area, we're hunting for an expert

we're interested in helping people leave the USA when disabled - both the consequences for their payments, and figuring out services.

We need someone who has general familiarity - eg someone who regullarly works at or volunteers at an NGO serving disability services consumers. The person would be the presenter for one of our livestreams and answer questions like "I'm in the middle of applying for this kind of disability support, what happens if I leave the country?"

If you stay you make one more person we have to help get out when it's harder. Please get to safety, THEN help others. Armies, even guerrilla ones, have a front and a rear.
If you're stupid brave and not stupid, become a volunteer for us. First thing we'll ask is that you get out.
If we send you back in, it'll be for a reason, not just to die.

mail your resume to recruiting@transrescue.org and say you're looking for remote. We're batching them and sending them out to tech employers in the EU. Assume you'd be interested in talking to an EU employer, and we'll flag remote as well.

Just finished rewatching the 1972 musical "Cabaret", about three friends and lovers in the waning days of the Weimar Republic.
Found this when checking in for the evening:

looking for someone well versed in US disability law and system to help trans people in the USA who are consuming disability services and need to leave the US for their own safety. If you are or know of someone, please get in touch.

Just a reminder -
If you assist a minor in leaving the country without their parent's permission, you are guilty of child trafficking.
That includes the 17 year old trans girl with trans-hostile parents.
