What even becomes of us now? What recourse do we have?

What’s going to happen to us?

Are we going to die?

    Just to be forward, I’m not trans.

    This election isn’t the end. Civilians probably aren’t going to come after you or anything. You quite possibly will lose access to some forms of Healthcare you are allowed to enjoy now, which is pretty fucked up. You’ll also likely be discriminated against in government paperwork, like having to put your birth sex on your drivers license and that sort of thing.

    In the end, you’ll probably live. Keep your friends and community close and work to make things as good for each other as you can. Find alternative forms of Healthcare if you need to and can. Keep some hope alive that we can come out of this stronger and more united and turn the tables in two years, or at most four. Don’t give up. Don’t let them just have a victory. Join local mutual aid groups and whatever else you can do. Keep fighting.

    Remember, as bad as this is, this isn’t the first time trans people have been discriminated against. Remember those who came before you and fought to improve things to get to the not perfect but livable status-quo we temporarily had. Don’t take it for granted. We can get back to that point again and further.
