About 20,000 rightwing politicians, activists and media figures gathered here, as Trump pledged to bring about the "common-sense revolution" and promised the incoming of the "golden age in America".
I’ve still not seen any details on if/how Trump policies will impact trans adults. Seems all of the focus so far is on minors. It’s nerve wracking to wait and see.
It was never about just trans kids or just sports, those both evaporate the moment you apply critical thought (funny how conservative and liberal men alike deride women’s sports in any other context)
It has always been about taking a mile for every inch they are given. It has always been about erasing trans people and our humanity from the public eye.
Besides, it isn’t like there isn’t a fairly public history of Republicans trying to fuck over every trans person, period. No details on the plans are needed to know beyond a reasonable doubt that it’s in the works
Well, the ugly truth is that it’s already too late to make a fully safe move. Getting long term ability to stay in alleged another country takes time. More time than is realistically available.
And it’s even harder to get permanent resident status, or fully immigrate to any of the countries that are trans friendly.
You’d have to hope for refugee status. Which isn’t impossible, but it is unlikely.
I think you’d be better off moving to one of the more trans protective states at this point, and you have a fairly realistic chance of making that happen before any new legislation can be passed at least.
It’s either that, or get armed and find local support until it either gets fixed legally/electorally, or civil war pops off.
He made a speech Sunday about wanting to define gender at a federal level to take away states’ rights. I’m non-binary but still have my gender assigned at birth on my IDs. A friend of mine, though, has X as their gender marker. If they lose the ability to use that gender marker, they’ll no doubt be given a hard time changing it back, making it harder to travel due to the extra scrutiny.

Isn’t that bad enough?

I’d say it’s worse not knowing, because then I doom spiral into the possibilities instead of being sure if I need to leave the country.
Ahhhh, I get what you mean now.
