    The UK and Australia have been infringing upon trans rights and free speech recently. Makes me think this might be a return to the Western world’s roots. Hopefully, Ireland will be left alone for once, I can move there, and become an alcoholic.

      Yes, UK and Aussie Terfs have been trying to disenfranchise transmen and women for a long while, unfortunately J. K. Rowling gave them a nasty opening to make their cruel work stick. I do hope for a revolution against these egregious acts, as American ancestors fought to make the English fuck right off. Ireland will likely fall to a similar fate, as there is a rise of anti-trans rhetoric in that nation too. I don’t think many places are going to be safe in the world. Barring communities who give a shit about their fellow humans, of course!

        No idea. Just something I kind of want to do. It’s probably easier if you have more recent Irish ancestors, speak Irish, have any connection to Ireland whatsoever. I have none of those things unfortunately. It’s just one of my top options. I’d prefer a place where most people speak English as a first language because languages are hard, and I only speak that and abysmal German. Good luck with getting there!
