I am about as safe and secure as it’s possible for a trans woman who isn’t in deep stealth to be, and the news is fucking _terrifying_ me.

We have got to find a way to survive the coming years, emotionally as well as physically. We have to be there for each other, but also for OURSELVES.

As an ally, I'm here for you all too, though I'm not sure what help - if any - that is.

Hi @Sarah Brown. As you may already know from some of my posts I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'm also an atheist. At First Universalist Parish in Derby Line, Vermont we fly both the Black Lives Matter and Pride flag. Members of the trans community will typically find a welcoming space in most UU congregations. My former faith of Jehovah's Witnesses, makes no room for such individuals. They would be disfellowshipped and shunned for simply being who they are. Fortunately liberal religions exist and I'd say in this moment we will be challenged to raise to the moment to do what we can to help. Take care, -Randy

It is frigtning. Unfortunately I’ve been through this before. I remember sitting over from lawyers talking through what to do about my partner who had been fired on the spot for being trans. Or dealing with scum in a super market who has decided to hassle me badly. I learnt quickly that you fight back. In that case security and management supported me because I was a regular who did their weekly shop there. But yes prior to the EA2010 and prior to the GRA2004 and prior to the ECHR rulings you had the SDA and “good people” and there are a lot more of them than you think. The scumbags are few just vocal!

Oh and you’re in the right place. Your new country is getting it right. As is the one I am hoping to moving to.
