Almost had a job - was all but hired, but whoops! I’m a gay trans man, should have considered that before I had hopes of being able to pay back my college loans.

What would be a realistic plan for driving straight down south to Mexico City and just knocking at every school door saying “¿necesitas maestro?” Or really, I’ll stop at the first city with access to testosterone and maybe a nice gay night scene.

I assume security going into Mexico is a lot easier to clear than the other way around? Visas probably cost money I don’t have LOL

    Driving straight south will be tricky as all of the major roads have turns at some point. Make sure you have a vehicle that can handle well off road.

      Maybe he didn’t want to risk driving gay south, especially through states like Texas where they’re fragile about such things.

    Hearing your a certified teacher have you looked at Canada. Rural areas have teaching shortages, we pay well and are very trans friendly.

    If you need a job and also worried about being seen. Then call center WFH is for you.

    Look at collection agencies that have WFH option. If you know Spanish, DM me. I can get you a job. The job isn’t glamorous or “fun” but you can make some cash and think about your future more.

    It’s easy to get into Mexico with a US passport but staying and working is a different story.

    For more information on being a US resident/citizen trying to get out of the US, and what your options are in various countries, I also highly recommend Trans World Express https://transworldexpress.org/wiki/Main_Page

    The info there isn’t necessarily only useful to trans people, but mostly is aimed at trans people, since trans people are very vulnerable right now.
