In general, as a tran, I am trying not to overestimate the risk of state-backed violence against me (though it is considerable) in the next several years and not underestimate the risk of violence from random individuals that the state mostly pretends not to see. Stay safe out there, pals.

Giving disabled people (regardless of employment status) sufficient financial support isn't just the right thing to do from a human perspective.
It's also by far the most economically sensible thing to do.

Four police officers took their lives due to PTSD, injuries, and I have to imagine countless death threats after the Capitol attacks.

The Trump Administration has released an Executive Order against Trans People.
What I want to stress is that this is simply a request and a plan and doesn't by it self do anything substantial. I also have more questions than answers currently but we will find out more over the coming days.
