LGBTQ+ community must continue the fight not only in Houston but across the country and beyond. If these communities give up they are finished. I understand why some would want to leave this country, but I don’t think they will find another country that is willing to let them live their lives in peace and support the way they would wish
There are plenty of countries that allow trans people to simply exist. Asking people to stay in the line of fire and sacrifice themselves in these circumstances is foolish. It is ALLIES that need to stand and fight for the rights of those in the crosshairs.
I am not sure characterizing people moving to safety as "running away" is helpful. History is filled with the stories of people who got out of harms way and were able to better advocate for their communities in exile. While it is the right thing for some to stay put and fight on the ground, risking their lives and freedom, it is likewise just as valid to make a different choice. When we suggest otherwise, whether as members of the targeted community or as allies, we are actually adding to the burden of suffering.
Yes history is filled with people doing more from the outside, but I don’t think that would make anything better with the racist Trump - I believe staying while difficult and continuing to protest and speak out may be best -Just my opinion
The ludicrous Republican War on Colorfulness continues, I see. They'll save their poor little MAGAts' eyes from anything the least bit visually stimulating if it's the last thing they do!
Requiring surgery is truly demonic, trans people were made the way they are, they're free to *choose* surgery if that makes them feel better about it, but it has nothing to do with their identities, that's how they were born, and elective surgery is not something that is medically necessary. Slicing up parts doesn't make someone more legitimately trans, yet a lot of people claim it does, and they use laws about it to oppress, it's about hate, nothing more. I will be dead before that is a permanent policy, so if they want the world to devolve into chaos, bring it on.

Yes allies must stand with the trans community but running away is not the answer. Simply existing to me is not the answer
