"Under Trump, trans oppression may look like banning hormone replacement theory, followed by arresting those of us who try to obtain hormones anyway. It might look like requiring gender markers on IDs to match our sex assigned at birth, and then charging those who continue to use the ID that matches our gender with fraud or perjury. It could also look like involuntary commitment to mental institutions."
"If you are cisgender, we need you to ally with us to push back on what’s to come because we simply have very little political power."
"I am strongly considering going into teaching. But the new administration may create a national Don’t Say Gay/Trans policy in our schools. This could result in my inability to even be a teacher, as I am pretty obviously transgender.
Trans teachers already experience harassment, but soon it could go even further. Not only that but teachers would be required to deadname and misgender trans youth. They may also stop trans girls from wearing feminine clothing."
