Transfem

For government organizations and websites they will defund resources, delete published data, and forbid terminology from being mentioned. Funding for research programs will be cut.

For social media websites they may try isolate groups by forbidding topics and moderation.

There will disturbing press announcements every few days. If there is no public outrage they will keep taking it further.

Markets will get further deregulation, maybe some scheme to tank it and issue another stimulus followed by inflation.

States and cities with strong protections in place will push back. Other places will see people emboldened by their rhetoric to take it out on others.

Are you familiar with Tor? The darknet may be a place you could start looking for hrt

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.

Stock up on HRT as much as you can. If possible, move to an area where your neighbors are staunch allies.

There is another election in 2026 which is an opportunity to break up the Republican super majority and some state government control.

We can try to get more involved in the political process, but beyond that there is very little left to do. We are just going to have to wait and see if it's as bad as we've all feared.

It's more important now than ever that we take care of ourselves and each other. Together we stand, divided we fall.

Maybe move to Canada?, I'm sure you will be more than happy there

I'm pretty sure Canada will accept alot you with open arms.

I’ll be dropping the femme expressions I used to love. It’s not safe, and now I have to “man up” and protect my family as best I can. Fascism is not a working system, and a lot of very good and vulnerable people are going to get targeted by bigots every time our undemocratic assholes need to distract from their failures.

The next four years are going to be hell, and I have no idea what to do.

It’s gone a bit viral on Mastodon but if you plan to leave the US, which is entirely reasonable given the circumstances, do not bother trying to claim asylum. No other country that is safe for trans people or queer folks in general considers the US unsafe and your application will be automatically denied and given the international power the US holds, this probably won’t change even in the most dire circumstances.

Instead go for a normal travel or work visa, prolong it as long as you can and try to find friends that will help and hide you in case it expires.

I'm so sad for all of you in America right now. Stay strong.

Personally, I'm going back to pretending be cis for at least the next 4 years. And I was just about to start everything. So I'm in a pretty dark place at the moment
