I'm hearing in recent days there's an unusually intense spike in US journalists, after a long time of disinterest, now seeking comment in great numbers from leading US trans activists, organizers, writers and commentators on the present political situation. This is alarming for a variety of reasons.

You only say that for one reason. That being said, see you at S onewall.
This is the media's whole MO
I mean I'm still pretty sure CNN doesn't know trans people exist.
Optimistically, I'm hoping that it's because until now, journalists just stupidly saw this as culture-war posturing (because they learned nothing from Dobbs) and so lazily published what conservatives pushed, because it didn't matter
Join an organization. Network and build community with other queer people. Get a firearm and learn to use it. Read history.
That said, I'm skeptical of this concern. Partly because I need that, and partly because I'm starting to see concerted pushback from judges and others.
My guess, if something terrible is on the horizon, is large scale coordinated violence.
Help trans people escape the country, even at the potential cost of your own life to do so.
This is some serious shit.
