I am Japanese American, and speak the language (even though I'm not fluent). I also visited Japan growing up and have relatives there. Unfortunately because of America's political climate and I'm trans, I don't feel safe in America. Therefore I may look into Japan. I also have another trans friend who may move there later this year. On top of this I've got plenty of supportive online friends in Japan who are chill with me being trans. If I move to Japan, I can hang out with my Japanese pals, my uncle, and be there for my trans friend.
Yet the elephant in the room is that I'm studying electrical, and a US electrical license won't apply in Japan. I'm feeling worried about this situation!
