2026 Saw a bunch of states end the ability to update gender markers, with Kansas even revoking driver’s licenses. The attacks from the Right are constant. We are being dehumanized and I just learned what V-Coding is…
The horrible things they’re doing to our sisters in Federal Prison…
I fear in Trump’s America, we are set to be dehumanized, criminalized, mocked, and sexually exploited. I worry that the fight for trans rights can only end in failure as the public turns on us for being too strange and too small in number to be worth caring about.
They call us pedophiles even as more of the Epstein files come out and reveal this is only true of Trump himself.
Leaving the country even seems unlikely as we’re not allowed to have passports.
Is there any hope that we prevail in the future? Or are we absolutely fucked with the only hope that MAYBE, just MAYBE, Canada allows us to seek asylum.
I’m trying to hold on, but I’m beyond terrified and I just don’t see any happy ending for us.
Fuck. I just looked up what it is and at this point I think if there’s a possibility of going to prison I might just have to fight to the death to avoid it. I think I would rather do pretty much anything than get raped every day in prison. It reminds me of the stories coming out about what Israel is doing to imprisoned Palestinians. I’d rather die than live through that…
I don’t think it’s like a guarantee or anything, not ever prison practices v-coding, but … the stats are not good, even without v-coding, sexual assault of trans women in prisons (even by the guards) is very common, like one study found it was >50%.
So yeah, staying out of federal and state prisons (and probably jails, tbh) should be a priority for all trans people.
