Helpful tips for trans folks living in the US:
1) Ask your healthcare provider if you can discreetly have your diagnosis/justification for gender dysphoria changed to 'hormonal disorder not otherwise specified', since odds are good the FDA is going to ban gender-affirming care even for adults

Yes, some of the physical changes of second puberty are permanent, but not all of them
If you can’t tell that that’s the goal you haven’t been paying attention
When I explain the HRT thing to them it bothers them FL and TX did it.
I’ve been HRT 7yrs and completed the gauntlet of getting my documents updated through court orders.
So, I brought up how, given my circumstances…
He steered the conversation towards the risk to his occupation. Understandable. I dropped it.
I wanted to ask him
Where is the line that justifies noncompliance? But that felt rude and counterproductive and just my frustration trying to get out
So I got a referral for a mammogram, got my refills and my levels checked and was on my way
You are not going to win a fight against the US government by force of arms.
I guess the point I was really getting at was "having a gun isn't going to do any good necessarily"
Get a gun it you want, but be realistic about it
3) If you can, consider going stealth. That's how our community survived the Reagan years (the last time a presidential administration wanted us dead)
Specifically, it was, if you need money, consider beating up a rich person and taking their stuff. We're not going to have much in the way of options otherwise.

It's very easy to make and nearly impossible to put out. 😈

But I do agree with your other points and I think it's wonderful that you're helping others in this way.
You think these people still have limits. They do not.
They would most definitely use their fascist flesh puppets AKA cops to breach your door or Windows.
You may indeed have such a plan. Just worried.
I'm with you on the seriousness of the matter.
I was expressing to all able-bodied leftist a while ago about digging their own tunnels, stockpiling and training.
Laying down and hoping for mercy? From those that have none? Now that's crazy.
The feds are not going to help. So you have a choice. Resist in whatever way is prudent, or serve/die like livestock.
Your gun won't save you--at most, you'll be able to take some people out with you.
It’s not about the government coming for you. Anything you can arm yourself with isn’t going to stop them.
It’s about this emboldening others. If your neighbors are VERY happy about Trump winning, you may need to deter them or defend against them.
I’m being treated the same as someone with bipolar (1/2)

As general advice, yes, schedule it earlier is excellent
Don't let them take anything from you. Existing is an act of defiance.
They'll know. In that aspect its worse than the 80s.
