In what Trump's administration has branded a "common sense" order, the government will recognise only two sexes, ending all federal funding or recognition of gender identities.
Knew this was going to happen with the election results. Everyone is telling me to keep calm. That the president wont effect the daily lives of citizens. Yeah I’m sure they told the american Japanese the same before the camps.
Find community. Meet in person regularly if you can. Just existing in community is huge, if for nothing else than your own emotional, mental, and physical health. We are thinking of you all from outside the US 🫂
My workplace’s LGBT resource group is meeting soon. Hoping for good news. I’m wondering why I still live in the US at this point - I have no living family or close friends here and work in an in-demand field. May as well sell my house and move somewhere that I’m welcome.
I’m scared.

I would suggest you look into it, at the very least! Leaving was the best decision I ever made.
May I ask what country you went to? The options are staggering.
Me too 😔
Many hugs. We’ll get through this.
