I’m French. I grew up with my parents’ English since age 5, American English. People often assume I myself live in America and grew up there. I do have citizenship there but I don’t really want to go due to recent political stuff. 😓

I am a bi transmasc as well so I’m scared.

      It’s because we are a nation of descendants of transplants from other countries, living among actual transplants. Anyone can become American. This question of your nationality and where your people came from to get here, it’s the beginning of a dance that establishes our social fabric. That’s the PR at least. These days with crazy man doing crazy things, it’s not quite how it used to be.
