Before January 2025:

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

Final Pre-Election 2024 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map

Erin Reed has presented a new version of her Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map over at Erin in the Morning.

She writes:

The elections have tightened across the United States, and anti-trans ads have become a major part of the 2024 campaign cycle. As such, the risk has substantially raised for nationwide laws targeting transgender people in the coming years for both youth and adults. For states, the state of Texas has been upgraded to Do Not Travel, only the second state to receive such a recommendation. This comes as Odessa, Texas becomes the first city in the nation to pass a $10,000 bounty on transgender people inside of bathrooms.

news reporting on murders is always like ‘the victim was described by the people who knew them as polite and funny’ like yeah i fucking bet they did what else are they gonna say. breaking news local man stabbed 1000 times to death, grieving friends and family described the deceased to reporters as ‘a bit of a cunt’, ‘mean and bad’ and ‘just generally kind of annoying, you know?’

I know there’s a lot of awful things at play here and a lot of reasons this happened. But I also can’t stop thinking about all the (supposedly liberal) blogs I’d been long time mutuals with that I had to unfollow over the months that started posting shit like “would it really be so bad if trump won? I think it’d be fine. I mean, I’D be fine! so who caaaaares. Maybe it’d start a revolution! That’s why we should all Not Vote” and it’s hard not to seethe. You got what you wanted, I guess.

Pull an all-nighter to watch election results?? Perchance

[lunariasilver]

the post-election strategy.

this election could go either way. no matter what happens, we need to stay safe. here's some basic guidelines for if trump gets elected.

don't be a narc. your friend is trans? no, they're not. you don't fucking know that. it goes with you to the grave. you don't know that your neighbors are immigrants. you don't know anybody who is left-leaning whatsoever.

watch what you're wearing in public. no rainbows, no harris-walz, nothing of the sort. people will potentially be looking for an excuse to commit violent crimes, and with the new leadership, there will be little repercussions for them.

if someone you don't know, or don't know well asks you who you voted for? don't tell them shit. they're probably fishing for information. you say that you aren't political, or that you don't talk about politics with strangers. don't give them an answer.

keep your fucking head down. be inconspicuous, and blend in. don't talk about jack shit. especially nothing relating to politics, or minorities.

stay safe.
