I am actually pretty fucked up by knowing that the outcome of the US presidential election will drastically impact the course of my life, from where I live next year to whether I can take my medication w/o breaking the law. (Once again worth mentioning: Testosterone is a controlled substance.)

My kid asked me today if we could move if Trump got elected... I told him that because we're on the far end of Trump's hitlist we have to stay and fight for everyone else. I suggested voting activism instead- he's afraid to write postcards because "trump people have guns and might find us". Oy.

I had to have a meeting with my whole family where we talked about what we will do if things get worse for me. (I'm in Texas.) It is hard to find dignity in such things

Fundamentally, I just don't think the identity of the US president should have that much impact on an ordinary person's daily life.

Terrified for the trans man in my life. Living in a scary red state and also trying to plan for the future....

It's a fucked up and stressful situation, I wish I could zap us to a time/place where it's better.🫂💜

I have no way of leaving my state (no money or ability to drive) so if things get worse... I'm screwed. Its already a pain enough for me to access my T given the laws... I hope it gets better for all of us. We shouldn't have to worry about this stuff.

We shouldn't have to be terrified of losing access to the meds we need or the few civil rights we've clawed out every 4 years. My gut is just a ceaseless roiling knot.
