I'm physically disabled in the sense of "I need to have my medication for my fibromyalgia, joint, & degenerative disc conditions or else I can't function" & have mental disabilities – autism being one key factor I will list. I sometimes get surgeries each year, but right now things have been good – minus needing to utilize a cane constantly outside of the household, need an elevator in building, & need a shower hose. I am treated for my other mental health disorders & am stable. I'm also holding a steady Event Security Guard job in San Francisco, CA.
I have a live-in aide / friend who would move with me as well who's also in the same boat with disabilities & needing diabetic aid support, plus is black & trans masc. I'm latino & white-passing, I don't know much about the politics on race out there? How is it? I just know about non-foreign & people who speak only English typically have struggles out there quite a bit.
I'm willing to branch out with work options, but I can't do anything too harsh on my body or else it'll be worse for wear. I was looking into studying psychology when I return to college, but I've read IT & Engineering was a few of the key fields they'd look for Work Visas. I was also interested in teaching – be it psychology or some other field.
How does rent look like in the more LGBTQ+ friendly cities? Does the housing rate go up comparably like how it does here in San Francisco (ie: $3,900 initial lease into a $4,800 renewal/new base lease for a 2BR2BA)? I know trans politics is ever evolving in Japan for better too.
Sorry for a lot of questions, just need answers to these things that people on here likely know.
