I'm not who you replied to, but leaving is not easy. Moving costs money and puts you far away from friends and family. You also need to be able to stay in the country long enough to be able to apply for citizenship and that's not easy either. Also if you're a minority going through TSA is scary because who knows if they are going to pull you aside and assault you or worse. I'm trans and I've thought of leaving but TSA scares me.

Drive into Canada or Mexico and fly out from there.

I actually live very close to the Canadian border so I'm considering it.
