Elon Musk's Transgender Daughter Wants to Leave the U.S. Following Trump's Win
Transgender Daughter of Billionaire Elon Musk Plans to Leave the United States Following Trump Victory
In a move that has been met with both praise and criticism, Elon Musk's transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has announced plans to leave the United States in response to Donald Trump's election to the presidency.
Wilson, who is 18 years old, announced her decision on social media, saying that she felt unsafe and unwelcome in the United States under Trump's leadership.
"I'm leaving the country because I don't feel safe here anymore," Wilson wrote. "I'm not the only one who feels this way. Many people in the LGBTQ community are feeling scared and vulnerable right now."
Wilson's decision to leave the United States has been met with support from some members of the LGBTQ community, who say they understand her fears.
"I can't blame her for wanting to leave," said Sarah McBride, a transgender activist and the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign. "The Trump administration has made it clear that they are not interested in protecting the rights of transgender people."
However, others have criticized Wilson's decision, saying that she is overreacting and that the Trump administration is not as dangerous as she believes.
"I think she's being a little bit dramatic," said conservative commentator Ann Coulter. "The Trump administration is not going to deport transgender people."
It is unclear what Wilson's plans are for the future, but she has said that she is considering moving to Canada or Europe.
Wilson's decision to leave the United States is a reminder of the challenges that transgender people face in the current political climate.
According to a recent study by the National Center for Transgender Equality, transgender people are more likely to experience discrimination, violence, and poverty than cisgender people.
The Trump administration has taken a number of actions that have been seen as harmful to the transgender community, including rescinding protections for transgender students and appointing a number of anti-LGBTQ officials to high-level positions.
Wilson's decision to leave the United States is a reminder of the importance of fighting for the rights of transgender people.
