That’s a really strange ranking system they’re using. Take a look at a place like Uruguay, which has criminalised hate speech, which has legal protection and recognition of trans people, a public health care system which covers GRS and HRT but also allows for self ID, and has complete separation of church and state, and the highest safety and standards of living in South America. Yet somehow, it’s ranked below Botswana, which has constitutional protection of same sex rights, but no explicit protections of trans rights…

And then there is Paraguay, which they’ve given the lowest possible ranking, and on paper, that makes sense, as they have no specific protections and a conservative government. Don’t get me wrong, it’s no bastion of trans rights, but in terms of safe places to travel, it’s much safer than the other places they’ve ranked as “F” simply because Paraguayans as a people don’t get in folks faces. They’re largely Christian and may hold negative opinions about LGBTQ folk, but they keep that to themselves, and it rarely manifests in violence, and consequently, is much safer than you would expect given the individual elements.
