should i include that i'm applying to colleges/unis to transition in a safer place?

5 days ago by coolestusername to c/mtf

i'm finally graduating from high school soon :D oh my god i'm so glad that i'm leaving this shithole behind. anyways hopefully i'll be studying abroad this or next year. i want to transition where i live but surprise surprise "where i live" isn't really nice towards queer people.

should i include that i'm seeking asylum to transition? i feel like its a bit too much as i don't know if i can call myself a refugee. (also i don't want to forfeit my current citizenship lol)

also any uni/college suggestions for computer science? united states is a big nono unless i get accepted by a high ranking college and if it's in a blue state
