Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take:
- Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump.
- Update every ID your state allows you to.
- Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption
I know this sucks but please DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT any time soon bc doing so allows someone else to steal your handle for impersonation.
Lock up and do whatever you have to but DO NOT DELETE IT.
- Get your vaccines.
- Renew your passport.
- Get a copper IUD.
- Talk with your doctor/transfolks re: HRT access.
- Text your loved ones.
- More importantly, schedule a video call/in-person meeting with them.
- Do your research.
- Ask for help.
- Take good care of you and yours.
To all of my American friends, please stay safe, you can totally go to my DMs to vent a bit, cry, yell, do whatever may feel necessary, and I'll be hoping for a damn miracle that somehow all this changes, love you all guys, stay strong, I know you all can 🫂🫂🫂

If Trump installs his regime, here are a few reminders.
If you know anyone trans, you do not.
If you know any immigrants, they've been here their whole lives.
If someone asks you about politics, you do not discuss politics.
Anything and everything that will be used to target
there are CHILDREN worried about what trump is gonna do to our country. CHILDREN planning their SUICIDE because of him. nobody’s gaining ANYTHING with trump other than the death of the kids you claim to “protect”.
For the next four years you don't have any trans friends. You never knew anyone who has ever had an abortion. You don't know any gay people. Everyone you know is straight and republican. You don't know anyone who's ever immigrated to this country. Keep your mouth shut. 👍
