Hey folks  

For those considering fleeing the US to Europe in light of the 2024 US election results, we recommend that you check out these resources:

• The Trans Health Map 2024 by TGEU (Trans Europe and Central Asia).
  • You can view it in map or raw data format.
  • It is a good starting point to help you determine whether you could even get care there for yourselves, and it highlights where having a disability, being neurodivergent, and/or struggling with mental health may hinder your access to healthcare.
• The 2024 Rainbow Map produced by ILGA-Europe.
  • This is particularly useful for seeing how poor LGBTQIA+ rights are in many countries, against what the common perception might be from a US viewpoint.

There are lots of other considerations you will need to take into account, but we wanted to make you all aware of these resources to help you along 🇪🇺

Boosts welcome to spread the info to others 

Edit: Here is some additional relevant context, as pointed out by a lovely comment 

These maps are essentially display the legal situation, which does not necessarily reflect how things are done by hospitals, doctors, federal officials etc.

These maps also do not, by themselves, show how many extra hurdles there can be to obtaining healthcare, especially trans+ healthcare, as a migrant, and especially if you do not speak a native language fluently.

Please also note that some countries might have healthcare monopolies or a figurative geographical lottery on healthcare.

Basically, you really need to do your research before moving, including asking other migrants what their experiences have been.

San Francisco: Our dog has escaped her sitter and we are trapped on a plane for the next 9 hours.

She was last spotted in the Castro, heading toward the Mission but she could be anywhere. She is very sweet but very timid.

Friend: No this makes sense, it's a chain of dependencies. Every teams channel is a SharePoint folder
