2026 Saw a bunch of states end the ability to update gender markers, with Kansas even revoking driver's licenses. The attacks from the Right are constant. We are being dehumanized and I just learned what V-Coding is....

The horrible things they're doing to our sisters in Federal Prison...

I fear in Trump's America, we are set to be dehumanized, criminalized, mocked, and sexually exploited. I worry that the fight for trans rights can only end in failure as the public turns on us for being too strange and too small in number to be worth caring about.

They call us pedophiles even as more of the Epstein files come out and reveal this is only true of Trump himself.

Leaving the country even seems unlikely as we're not allowed to have passports.

Is there any hope that we prevail in the future? Or are we absolutely fucked with the only hope that MAYBE, just MAYBE, Canada allows us to seek asylum.

I'm trying to hold on, but I'm beyond terrified and I just don't see any happy ending for us.

Florida makes it so that if you're trans and in jail, they forcibly try to detransition you.

That was adopted by the Federal Prison System and made stricter. Trump also signed an order to bring back mental asylums.

I would be really surprised to learn that the plan WASN'T to have RFK Jr. announce a "pandemic of transness" to have anyone gender queer sent to these asylums.

I am in NC. I wanna try to move to Virginia if the chance presents itself.

While I don't think Gender Identity Fraud will become a crime in itself (Even Trump's supreme court would declare it a violation of the First Amendment). I know they're gonna try to make transition all but impossible.

I think they'll either claim its "Too sexual for the public" (Kinda like how they made being gay in public a crime by labeling public displays of affection a crime and selectively enforcing it) or have it declared a mental health epidemic.

I am amazed every Purple Or Red state hasn't jumped to copy Kansas. (Though many have stopped allowing people to update their IDs. And Indiana seems to be trying to revert them back to birth sex)

I really hope Gavin Newsom isn't the Democratic Nominee. While I think he can beat Vance, I can see him being to the right of Trump on trans issues.
