  • As a trans Texan, I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that many of our highest ranking state politicians are extremely hostile to people in the LGBTQ+ community and actively want us gone one way or another. Wanting to believe the best in someone is fine in general, but know who you are advocating for. These people have a history which paints a very dystopian picture of their intentions and we don’t currently have a federal government willing to stop them. Do I think they are making literal “kill lists”? No, I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but this is a strongly indicative prelude to that extreme. If they are making a list of a group of minorities, it’s almost guaranteed it will be used for discriminatory (or flat out criminal) purposes.

















  • It’s a pretty scary idea when the odds are very high that we would just get murdered by police or secret service. And in this hypothetical, if we were to fail, Trump would just bring them hammer down even harder on everyone else, making future attempts much more difficult if not impossible. Until the people are organized on a large scale and collectively convinced this is the only option we have left, we have too much to lose with very little chance of success.
