It’ll take multiple occurrences of a cisgender person being misgendered and shot to death over it for anything to happen and even then it’ll be on the “thoughts and prayers” level of effort as it is with every other shooting that happens near daily here
When I’ve shared articles about cis women being accused of being trans in bathrooms/harassed, the response is always “this wouldn’t have happened if trans women stayed out of women’s bathrooms to begin with.”
It’s sad to say, but if you are trans or even gay, you need to start executing your escape plan if you have one. If you dont have a plan, you need to start making one, fast. This isn’t going to blow over any time soon. Help each other out where you can - there are plenty that will struggle to find a way out.
As part of the trans community in Canada it’s devastating watching our American kinfolk suffer. Because of the Safe Third Country Agreement American citizens cannot claim refugee status here. I have been writing to every politician I can to try and punch out an exception. The minute I can I am opening up my home to as many folk as I can.
Much easier said than done. Most countries only let you immigrate if you have some marketable skill, or lots of money, and nobody is accepting asylum cases from the US. Most of us are stuck here.
Honestly through all these insane headlines about USA for the past few months, it sounds like you’re getting closer and closer to a point where it’s just important to get out in more literal sense, and think how to arrange your life again when you are on the otherside of the border. If the other options are concentration camps or straight up being shot by fascists…

They just seem to want to hate.
They are told to hate, so they do… and if you’re looking for something your going to find it

Hopefully countries will consider accepting asylum seekers from the US.
