*sighs, shivering.* Just woke up with a nightmarish thought, I may have to prepare for the very real possibility of fleeing the country as a transgender parent to protect my family and myself. The recent news of the politics in this country has me terrified of the US beginning the next Nazi hot bed and I can't even begin to tell you how deeply frightening that notion is.
I mean I want to stay and fight but not at the cost of the safety of my seven year old son. I have to put him first. There has to be a way to flee as a refugee out of this country and it's current stages towards a genocidal act.
Thing that scare me about this is that I know I'm not the only one deeply frightened with what's happening in the US and the world. Our existence is being wiped out, ruled a threat and in some countries banned. This isn't right... Not for anyone. Fuck I need to shake this.. I'm no criminal I've done nothing wrong yet they want to tear apart families of transfolk, medically detransition transpeople and for some, ban us from existence in this country.
The whole notion of dissolving the dept of education is just one more way the government representatives are seeking to cut back on the study and embrasure of broadening gender identity, understanding the human psychi and so much more. I've been staying silent for too long on this.. but what can I do? I feel so directionless and helpless.
@PaganMother I wish someone knew the answer to that. I feel similarly to you. I'm lucky to have citizenship in another country to fall back on, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
But I WILL go back if simply existing in the U.S. threatens my life.
