You’re right that leaving is your best bet. That isn’t a reality for millions of queer people, however. Leaving isn’t always feasible, or many of the queer people still in deep red states would already be gone.

It’s time for us to make moves to prepare ourselves to contend with this administration and political agenda. Networks need to be made, connections between suppliers of DIY hormones and communities at risk of losing Healthcare need to be established.

As much as we need to help people get out, we also need to confront the fact that not everyone can, and this is the reality we live in now. I’m just saying, “Get out while you still can” isn’t enough. We need to ready ourselves for a much more long-term fight against this system. Everyone who can should be getting involved.
