Donald Trump has pledged severe federal crackdowns on transgender people. I outline steps for preparing for these challenges, sharing stories from trans individuals who are already taking action.

TLDR:

  • Updating state documents and IDs
  • Maintaining a supply of medication
  • Changing your social security office gender marker
  • Consider moving now, if you want to
  • Make decisions around staying or going “stealth.”
  • Relying on local community allies

    And organize! Even if they bring the boot down it is important we maintain solidarity as we move from allies to accomplices. Don’t keep your mouth shut either, the more who are silent the easier time they’ll have taking us on. Trans rights are human rights!

    • Get a passport ASAP (listing it separate from state documents/ID as to most in the US that just means drivers license)

    Sigh… I’ve been trying to maintain composure and just take care of this stuff, but I’ll say it now. I’m panicking. Fucking fuck. I hate this.
