Many transgender people are understandably shocked and dismayed by Trump´s recent executive orders. When things seem dark, I think it´s good to remember and hold on to points of light.  Some feared things have not happened.  Trans folks are not being rounded up by the government and killed.  With the exception of those in prison, gender-affirming care remains available for adults.  The vast majority of people are happy to call people by whatever pronouns they prefer.  (Or at least this seems true to me -- perhaps I live in a magical fairy kingdom?)  If a Bum purposely misgenders another Bum here with intent to hurt, the moderators are likely to take immediate and decisive action.  

 

No matter what happens politically, we all have the right to affirm to ourselves what we find to be true.  I know my gender and nobody can take that knowledge away from me.  Reality is reality.  Trump doesn´t have the power to change reality no matter what.

 

 

One can extrapolate and see that the US is headed towards a radical right-wing, white nationalist, and megalomaniac dictatorship...

 

btw, remember all the fairly well established people in Russia that suddenly fell out of windows to their death when affirming  their rights or are suspects, in North Korea they are lined up and obliterated with anti-aircraft guns... (and trump says he loves Kim or that Putin is a strong leader while putting down our own American intelligence agencies)  In America lots of decent citizens get death threats some of which have been carried out (or attempted) when speaking against trump and his goons.  The good old days of rationally agreeing to disagree and or compromise are few and far between and going away by day or even by the hour!
