Happy Trans Day Visibility!
I remember a few years ago I had to have a conversation with my mum. I told her that I had decided to be more public with my campaigning and that this extra attention would likely pose a risk to me and Aimee’s safety and so I had taken extra security measures.

The point is to send a message - to cause chaos, stoke fear and outrage, tie up organisations and activists in legal challenges, and destabilise our community.
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

It is so terrifying that Zuck could potentially own facebook, instagram, and ‘twitter’. Like I know that trading one billionaire for another isn’t great but lets at the very least not centralise the largest social media platforms with one billionaire.

Lies about gender-affirming care don't stand up to the most basic scientific scrutiny, that's why these bans aren't holding up in court.

A few fringe orgs with huge resources are being treated by the media as if they are as reputable as the entire medical community, and the entire trans community.
