Realistically what do I do?

(In America for context)

Yes, well aware we have it better than most places in the world right now and I am not trying to discount anyone else’s experience.

Right now is dangerous and confusing because something that was fine for a little bit and people have completed transitions and been living perfectly fine for some time now, are currently under scrutiny and becoming a target of laws. Obviously the end goal of the administration at this point is eradicating us. There’s no question about it. But what do we do from here. I am planning on buying a firearm for safety in the next month or so when I turn 21. I live in a good state for this stuff right now, but with everything happening so quickly that can change at any moment.

Should I look at leaving the country? Is that even realistic? Everything I have and know is here. I have multiple pets, all my family is here, my state gov job is here, my college is here, everything is here.

How are they even going to enforce these fuck ass laws? Why are we just standing back for now? These peaceful protests aren’t doing jack shit.

I’m a stealth trans man, I don’t have a passport, my birth certificate is still original, I’ve had top surgery, my ID says male, I have a good job but don’t make enough to live on my own never mind go to another country. Do we just wait??
