  • I am so sorry, I hope you find a way. I would not stay in Russia I don’t think things are going to improve any time soon.

    You had two avenues to leave 1. Apply for asylum in Germany or other European Union members.

    I would not take Hungary or Poland at this time possibly others from the Balkan I am not too informed there. But Germany and the Baltic states are good. You could get asylum because you are trans and Russia is a threat to you. This path is difficult, and requires a lot of paperwork.

    The less elegant version is you apply for a travel visa, take a few day vacation in the country and just don’t leave and claim refugee status. Nod advised because of the unknowns but it may work for you because you are trans.

    1. Visa route Easier might be to apply for university or jobs (doesn’t matter what) in Germany, France, Spain or Baltic Countries. Once you have the visa for working or Study you can migrate over. Then you apply for a permit to stay.

    In both cases in these countries should HRT be offered to you as basic health care need. You might have to pay for it you might not. But it should be possible to get it. It is difficult to give blanket advise and if you were to ask for a specific EU country it would be easier.

    So overall I’d say Germany, Spain, Baltics are your best options.














  • There is nothing in the books itself that is anti trans (AFAIK and remember), it is that people equate her works with her political views which are anti trans. As a most likely trans person myself (still working out the details of it, stay tuned) I have a real struggle at my hands. On the one hand her books were a massive part of my childhood and early teens. I waited in line out side book stores to get the newest one. On the other hand she uses the money she gets from licenses and the IP to fund anti trans organisations. She also uses her fame / reach to spread TERF points of view. I enjoy and love the world she created back then but I cannot in good conscience consume anything that supports her now. Not any merch, series, film or game.

    I on my ow may not make a difference but the sum is more than it parts. If enough ppl. start voicing their objection to her and her views, boycott the new stuff because of her, some change might be possible. If not, sacrificing something I loved growing up is an acceptable price to pay to keep me and others safe.
