My name is Melissa, my pronouns are (she/her) and I’m part of the Statefree team.
The thing that annoys me the most about statelessness is the lack of knowledge and viable rules around the topic. Stateless people are at the mercy of government agencies. You have to hope that the person working there is in a good mood, has prior experience with statelessness and therefore can help you in finding a solution.
I sincerely hope that one day the circumstances of birth won’t matter anymore. Everyone gets to decide for themselves who they want to be and nobody is judging them for it.
