I like to prepare for everything. With the US house of reps passing the block med care for trans kids and RFK remored to announce it completely blocked, what are my options?
Off the top of my head 1) get meds in Canada or Mexico or 2) move out of the USA
Is there anything else?
If you can leave, do so. I’m saying this as a trans woman who has been out for 10+ years and left. It’s no longer safe for us.
It’s very difficult, probably the hardest thing I’ve done in my life, but the threat in the US is existential. Trans people were among the first sent to the camps.
Avoid the UK as well. Other countries have their problems but the US and UK are especially bad.
I am not following details of USA, but I would like your opinion. In what sense the threat is existential? Can you give some examples? What camps?
It’s existential in the sense that trans people’s existence is being threatened. As in, the US is headed down the same path as the Nazis, with trans people about to be rounded up into concentration camps and mass-murdered.
The blood libel has been going on for a while now. The registrations have already started. Pink triangles and pogroms are the next step.
(I’m saying this as a cis-het white male, BTW. Even I can see the writing on the wall.)
Like the other guy said, they want to wipe us off the map. Their goal is a white cishet “Christian” (but only their flavor) ethno state where anyone outside the mold ceases to exist. This is not sarcasm nor hyperbole, they are quite open about their intentions. Many of those in power even have the tattoos to match
The camps have already started for immigrants (of which I’m also one yay) such as at Alligator Alcatraz. They’re ignoring court orders to send people to camps in El Salvador and Africa. They’re actively collecting lists of trans people and dissenters, labelling us all terrorists, and openly talking about sending people to labor camps (see: RFK). The writing on the wall is very clear
