Trans friends, this is the time to consider doing what you need to to protect yourselves. I would be looking at what it takes to emigrate somewhere safer.
It is time for us all to step the fuck up and protect trans people, ESPECIALLY if you yourself aren’t trans.

It’s also the time for allies to step up and organize. This is everyone’s battle for rights and trans people can’t be left to fight it on their own.
Organizing is the biggest issue, IMO. I don’t have much experience with humanity in person. I was raised in a isolated rural territory, and don’t have enough money to explore third spaces for likeminded folks about the situation. Figuring out HOW to network is a huge issue if you aren’t connected enough to society.
What churches align with justice? Which coffee shops embrace freedom? Among the militias, whom among them are antifa?
While I am practicing a firearm with the expectation of someday serving as a ReUnion soldier against the NeoConfederates, I don’t know how to bridge the gap between being an lone individual and part of a Rainbow Panther militia.
OR Americans can decide to protect fellow Americans who are simply existing which YOUR government has decided is a crime.
Because it’s already started. First the immigrants, now the transgenders, and soon depending on who or what you are you’ll eventually be next.
Because make no mistake unless you’re a right wing white straight christian male in the 1% they WILL eventually come for you.
Everything goes according to putin’s plan. Electing incompetent nazi cunts will weaken us.
Yeah, you are an extremist, because you are alive. Makes sense.
They practice all of these things in front of a mirror I bet
Time to post pictures of all of them in drag at some point in their life
Kash Patel watched the Big Lebowski
That’s funny. I’ve been defining the FBI and the current administration as embodying “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”
Weird, right?
I’m a terrorist? Because of what I did to my body?
Clearly! Hopefully you’ll be driven away!
To Canada, Portugal, or maybe Malta. Which apparently all have very strong protections for transgender folks. Malta apparently combines that with no murders of trans persons from 2008-2022.
(Stay safe please)
Interesting. Malta being a very Catholic country, I would not have guessed it being ahead. It is tiny, though, and there isn’t much employment. But a really lovely little rock. English speaking and with fantastic history. Yes, I may have considered moving there once.
Gender identity is constitutionally protected there! I wouldn’t have guessed it either, I found out about it when I was researching options on places to move.
Canada might be going downhill from what I hear 😬
Unfortunately, a lot of places are…
Safety and survival are the top priorities, so the furthest from “actually trying to kill you” is ideal IMO. But getting to another country is easier said than done, so its get going to where you can be as safe as you can. If that’s Portugal, do it. If its a blue city in a blue state, do that. If its surviving on a homestead and avoiding all contact possible… Thats still an option.
One of my friends is planning to go to Toronto for an “extended work trip” her boss is arranging.
I really fucking hate this stupid timeline.
Is there any hope that this designation makes it easier for trans Americans to apply for asylum in other countries? I’d love to see Canada step up and welcome trans refugees. We do have our problems though: politics is lurching to the right and the fascist sharks are circling. I worry for my trans friends here too. But we’re mostly not at MAGA levels of insanity, and I hope what we see in the USA shocks Canada out of our drift towards it.
I hope they do make it easier for trans Americans to get in!
With any luck, what’s happening here right now will be a big enough warning for your fellow Canadians…
I hope Canadian rights campaign groups start to push for the government to recognize that trans people are not safe in the USA and deserve the chance of asylum here.
You monster! That body is the property of Christian fascism now.
They’re gonna kill it and then say that it was a suicide.
Unless it gets pregnant. Then it can get fucked for all they care.
Always projection with those dipsticks.
All because a white Republican shot another white Republican.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Look who was invaded after 9/11
Bin Laden set out to destroy America and he did. The terrorists have won the war on terror.
Oh, the guy who did it denied doing it. And never mind that he later bragged about it.
There’s overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack. The only unknown (at least to the public) is how much Saudi government (versus loose-cannon individual) involvement there was. And it’s worth keeping in mind that the Saudi government is run like a poorly-organized family business, where the right hand seldom knows what the left hand is doing (though this is changing since MBS runs a tighter but far more oppressive ship).
There’s overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack.
I wouldn’t say the evidence was overwhelming. The only direct evidence I’ve found is:-
I’m happy to be more overwhelmed if you have links.
Ultimately the US was… by its own cancerous military industrial complex.
holy fuck
and then they’ll parallel push for removal of passports for these groups. then they’ll push to make passports required for voting….
fucking nazis. all of them.
They want you to be able to show a birth certificate with a matching name as your id which actually rules out many trans people and the majority of married women.

And if you don’t have a passport they’ll arrest you and send you to a camp for undocumented people. If you try to escape they’ll arrest you and send you to a camp. The only way through is active, organized resistance and defense in large numbers.
They desperate to apply the new term they just learned.
I categorize the FBI as the Nazi Gestapo.
that’s ICE.
The FBI is more akin to the Schutzstaffel (SS).
they go around “investigating” crimes against the führer and against the party.
Civil War is necessary!
Being told you’re a nihilistically violent extremist that should be locked up sure sounds like an impetus to, i dunno, have no hope for the future and in turn be more receptive to extremist actions, even violent ones, no?
That’s the point.
If you can push a minority group into desperation, then you get to play the moral high ground when they act out of desperation. It’s not a new trick by any means.
Nah, even if the minority group doesn’t do anything, “yes they are. They’re being evil and doing evil things just over there where you’re not looking, and that’s why bad things are happening to you. The only way to stop them is to give me power.”
It’s been Israel’s playbook against Palestine for a very, very long time.
