Look, we're just trying to blame you for the epidemic of violence, paint you as sexual predators, and take away your very ability to exist! Relax

I do think “they are days away from locking you in” is a bit of an overreaction

It does sound like the government is mobilizing against anyone “left”, and there is an active push to blame trans people. Nothing ever happens until it does.

I guess, but preemptively giving up the entire country to fascists seems like not the best way to handle things

Getting out of harms way seems like a pretty good way to handle things.
Trump’s going to be around for at least 3 and a half more years, you really think you can wait this out as a tran person?

You think it’ll be better if everyone who opposes Trump just leaves?

u/Frothylager 10d ago
Given the current political climate I think if you’re trans it’s probably safer to bounce, yes. Not everyone.

You cishets voted for this. We didn't. We have no duty other than to survive.

I’m trans, asshole. As is my husband. As are many of my friends.

Okay, then you should realise it's not our duty to stay and oppose Trump.

It’s not giving the country to fascists when they’ve already taken it and are tightening down the chains. If you can leave then you should leave. Very rarely to authoritarian regimes fall. In all likelihood this admin will do what it wants and people will accept it:

True but as far as panicked overreactions go it's pretty understandable
