The Trump admin is now defending its anti-trans prison policies by arguing care for trans adults can be banned because it isn’t healthcare. The consequences will extend far beyond prisons.
But there are differences in preparations I would be making to start DIY HRT, for example, if this was becoming law tomorrow
I was responding to this specifically, I think you should prepare to start DIY exactly the same as if this could become law tomorrow. It won’t, but if that situation comes to pass you are much better off prepared and having guaranteed access then being one of the many people rushing around when the fire has engulfed the stage. From their comment it sounds like they might not be so I was trying to encourage them to take early precautions.
That community sounds nice, I wish I had anything like that. Not for lack of trying to connect with all the lgbt people in my life, trying to get more of them in my life, etc…
I’m saying that yelling at a site full of trans people “Trump is now preparing to ban all gender affirming care”
Okay but do you disagree with this? Earlier you agreed they were laying the groundwork. Does that not mean basically the same thing as preparing? Honestly that feels like a more advanced stage to me. You plan/prepare, then lay the groundwork, then do the thing. I don’t really understand your objection to “prepare” but find “laying the groundwork” to be fine. Maybe laying the groundwork is more accurate, I mean it seems to me they have already prepared and come up with their strategy.
I woke up for a few hours in the night and so didn’t edit the title or provide quotes like I usually prefer to. Sorry.
not a survival strategy
I don’t have a survival strategy. I have a loose, hrt-won’t-get-taken-away-from-me strategy. Everything else feels entirely out of my control, including if surviving is even worth it in the first place. I am not optimistic on that front. But yea, sorry, if they do go through with this I will probably not be surviving long. I make several types of post, including things I’m worried about, but no not survival guides atm.
