Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

I'm in Sweden. I have enough savings to go as a student and get a residence permit that way, it was the fastest way I could get out as opposed to trying to find a job
Oh hey, the place our ass has some friends in who we hope to land with if things get bad enough.
Glad to know there will be more queer expats there (Unless, of course, you are my friends who moved, but that seems unlikely :p)
I'm just the one person so not the friends you're thinking. Always up for more connections though if you want another friend, or want to expat match make me with your other friends so I have more people to socialize with 👉👈
I also have a friend that moved to Sweden to live with his girlfriend and her husband. You're not him because he made the baffling decision to visit his folks in the US this month. (I want to hug him and be like "have you read the news lately?!" but talk of violence is a hard limit for him, so I just avoid talking politics at all with him and it's very frustrating, since current politics is both Very Relevant to me and Very Violent to me. /rant )
