For this to be effective, or perhaps more effective, we should organize!

you’re very privileged if you assume that most people can afford to move out of the unsafe areas they’re trapped in.

Allies? Where? I am seeing my fellow citizens for what they really are.

No. You are seeing the worst and angriest. Trust me that things could get so much worse. We are on a knife's edge right now.

Yes, I am hearing the worst and angriest but that’s all I’m hearing. The silence of our “allies” is deafening. Silence allows really terrible things to happen to innocent people and that is what we are facing. I’m 69 years old and this has a much different feel. I’ve changed all my legal documents including my birth certificate as you suggested. By the way, I love your writing.🏳️‍⚧️

Join Indivisible. It’s a resistance movement that started in 2016. Look them up

Allies come in varying degrees. Some will visibly support us but most just accept and support us in their minds. I work in a very large car factory where I transitioned almost 20 years ago. From day one the kindness I received was beyond my expectation.

Having said that, the hate that is shown by those pushing the anti trans agenda is hurtful.

Very well written article. It's bang on. I agree resorting to violence will cause us to lose allies.
