Transgender woman Alexis Solia expresses her desperation in fleeing the UK due to pervasive discrimination and transphobia from governmental and public organizations. Following a controversial Supreme Court ruling redefining terms in the Equality Act, Solia describes feeling trapped and persecuted, leading her to seek refuge in Thailand. Despite acknowledging challenges there, she notes a more accepting societal attitude towards trans individuals, particularly as the moral and mental toll of enduring hostility has become unbearable for her. Fundraising for the move, she highlights the lack of support and increasing threats to trans rights in her homeland.
"It's just too much. We're never given any room to breathe, no matter where you are in society... You're punished because of, what, existing?"
"The Supreme Court's ruling on the Equality Act has unleashed a fresh wave of transphobic rhetoric from politicians and institutions."
