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
Mexico is extremely conservative and largely Catholic. You’d be driving into essentially a Spanish speaking Vatican City the size of half the USA.
As long as they don’t have access to my birth certificate, there’s no evidence that I am transgender.
If there’s no evidence, why does it matter in the US? Not like employers have access to your birth certificate. Serious question.
They can background check and see that my SSN has been used with a female name.
Mexico City has a much better scene for queer folks if you’re serious. Though there is quite a bit of pushback currently about US remote workers moving down there and gentrifying.
I really don’t want remote work. I want to be in a shitty high school fighting the Good Fight. Like not in a self aggrandizing Freedom Riders or Dangerous Minds way, but in a “yeah I was arrested in high school too, let’s talk about it” way.
I’m sorry you’ve lost the right to do actual good work in the places that probably need it most. I don’t know about teaching in Mexico but you could try Canada? Although we’re being picky with immigrants now too (and our shitty government refuses to admit that trans people from the US should be granted refugee status here).
