Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

This is the desired outcome if they can’t force them to detransition or die.

I’m down with building a trans seafaring civilization.

Make the bigots leave. Throw their own old slogan at them: "If you don't like it, leave it!"

I believe "Love it or leave it," is their favorite configuration. I agree. They clearly hate this country. They should gtfo.

Don't come to the UK, might get treated even worse here

The British are the Americans of Europe, so that tracks.

At least Scotland can make it much more manageable.

"Children"

They are in their mid to late thirties.

I mean, good on them for leaving, but the use of the word "children" in the title, seems needlessly dramatic/provacative.

"Transgender family leaving US due to increased harrasment" would have been a better title.

I don't think anything the article presented is wrong. Children in this context are just her children. They could be of any age and they'd still be her children.

They are clearly mentioned as fully grown adults multiple times in the article, and it's not trying to present them as anything different.

I guess that is fair, the title just seemed too clickbaity

2 out of 2 children are trans?! that family maybe should work together with doctors about the reason. wtf!
