It never was about those things, but it has never been this blatant.
I tend to stay even-keeled about this stuff. I am not alarmist, I report the news as accurately as possible.
But the language is scary. It is precisely the dehumanizing language used to justify atrocity.

Refusing to call a spade a spade isn't even-keeled, it's playing their game in the hope you get accepted into the journalism cool kids club.
A buildup to genocidal atrocity.
There is nothing else we can help trans people. All is lost. Run.
Give them an excuse? What. Imagine what the country would be if MLK just packed up and left, gave up.
Why is everyone so afraid to push back?
Once a Guerrilla, **always** a Guerrilla.
They've already stopped a lot of peoples passports though
But you know those refugees you see on the news fleeing with whatever they can carry to save their lives? I don't see how this doesn't end there
Seattle has the highest ratio of queer households nationwide.
I don't think anyone will actually do this until it gets much worse, but I think eventually some people will see it as their only option
Hopefully other folk on here have better ideas for you
Don’t expect your elected leaders to fight for you, only you can do it.
We organize. We protest. We fucking riot if we have to.
But I wish you all the best in that journey.
Take a moment and think about what happened in Germany during WW2
The time to protest is before the fascists take power
And there's nothing stopping people getting somewhere safe and then still fighting
I don't think they'll care if you protest. They've already started it with these measures, this language
You protest before the fascists get into power, to stop them
I don't think getting to a place that's safer is giving up
History says differently. You keep fighting and the fascists will fall. You can’t win the battle when you’re not on the front line.
And the ones who got out, some of them, went back in with armies from other countries, or campaigned, or fought however they could once they got out
Have a plan. If you can't leave, you still need a plan.
Prior auth working as intended.
But hey, it's not illegal (yet) !
Their goal is to arrest and detransition the loud trans people, scare more into hiding, and let vigilantes harass and kill whoever they want
It's genuinely terrifying
I'm far, far more worried about physical security for me and my local community. There's never enough .223
I don't own a gun for my own safety, but I've considered it.
"Can't be a lawyer/teacher/banker/cashier/etc as you lie and are untruthful".
I can genuinely imagine that a similar order targeting trans teachers will be here in the next few weeks.
medically discharged was best case scenario..
Jokes aside I'm worried they want to kill me
