Trans People’s Mental Health Is Being Weaponized Against Them

"Much of the mainstream media coverage of anti-trans legislation has focused on families of trans youth that have been forced to flee their home states. Often left out, however, are the stories of subterranean survival from the invisible majority of young trans Texans, mostly youth of color, who can’t leave."

~ Marisol Cortez

Crisis Calls from LGBTQ Youth Spiked by 700 Percent after Election Day

Also seeing reports of roughly tenfold jumps in vasectomy and IUD insertion medical appointments the day after the election.

People are not taking chances on all this shit: people are taking emergency measure to pre-empt unplanned pregnancy, accepting the risk that this might be permanent.

People are also stockpiling abortion and emergency contraception pills, and trans folks are building stockpiles of hormones in some cases with the goal of having enough on hand to outlast a Trump presidency.

Also by July this year, 8% of trans folks surveyed had already moved once to escape the worst jurisdictions, and about 40% more were considering moving. Many are not putting in expedited passport applications to ensure they receive travel documents prior to Trump's inauguration.

stateside trans comrades: how are you doing? how can i help you from scotland?

Sunday morning coffee!
In one of the few places that opens early...

Two photos today - the patterned top is now and the black top was yesterday morning's coffee!

It's dismal here this morning - miserable, drizzly rain. Mild though, at 15°C - it is November! 🤷‍♀️

Enjoy your days, folks, I shall endeavour to do the same...😊

Many women and #trans folks will die. Congrats everyone.

It's likely that over the next couple of months, a lot of trans Americans will leave their country. They may arrive on tourist visas and without means, and we of the trans community in places like Europe must step up to the plate.

We must organise ourselves to be ready for them, and be prepared to have an American trans escapee sleeping on our sofa or in our spare room by January.

Many of us feel as though there's nothing we can do, and here's a way in which we can help.

“There are really serious implications for LGBTQ communities in states where we’re seeing more severe restrictions from the legislative side. It also emboldens folks to go out and harass LGBTQ people, trans and gender non-conforming people within their own communities.”

In my latest for Austin Free Press, I took #GLAAD data on hate incidents and looked at how bigotry has manifested in Central #Texas. Incidents have included assault, protests, and even a murder. https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

oh shit oh no people are following me already i should probably write an #introduction

Hi! I am a girl-shaped creature from #scotland. #trans, neurospicy, always tired. I'm not a fan of social media but people keep telling me I should give fedi a go.

Planetary data scientist by training, but right now I pay the bills with #webdev. One of those weirdos who actually likes #css. I use #ArchLinux btw.

I play #netrunner, #fabtcg, #pokémon, #ffxiv and all kinds of #ttrpg. Feel free to reach out!

And yet it's #TRANS athletes who are 'ruining sport' apparently dot dot dot

Could y'all give me a boost to find more indie game devs & trans peeps 😊🏳️‍⚧️

Is autism self-diagnosis valid? Yep. 💜

Hey all, after reading dozens of research papers, and meta-analyses, and living through it, I made a thing!

I'd love it if you'd check it out! 🥰

Update: I've added *a lot* of new stuff to the project.

My partner and I have talked about the importance of hope and also the importance of not letting worry stagnate.

What I mean by that:

If you truly believe that there is no hope in the US, then that should inform your next steps. Be they organizing, working on leaving the country, or getting ready to go live in the woods for a few decades.

I won't invalidate your fears about this country. Instead: if that's your position, how does that inform your response?
