I have about 7k in precious metals, and 2k in fire arms (and ammo) I do not have main character syndrome so I recognize my life as a trans woman is in extreme danger. How do I GTFO of the US? I'm having the most intense panic attack I've ever had and just want advice to escape extreme facism

I'm trans with far fewer resources and I'm planning on duking it out here. I spent my meager savings and a good chunk of my mental health to move from a deep red state to California. I have practically nothing left and I'm out a support system since I had to leave most of my friends behind to get out. I feel kinda naked being unable to legitimately arm myself, but the only people I actually feel in danger from are police so its an improvement overall.

I've looked into moving abroad, but western influence is massive and they've been demonizing us for generations. There are trans people everywhere, but you'll have to get a lot more comfortable with risk. Personally, I can't really justify it. The most I could do is move to my mom's home country to try to make a stand with my family there, but my ties and responsibilities are in the Americas either way.

I am afraid, but I've run as far as I can. What's left is putting down roots and finding community. I can only afford to resist.
