To put a finer point on the other comment, this is a human rights issue. "You do you" would be enough if an equity of human rights existed in this country for trans people. It does not.
What's going on is an attempted extermination by neglect.

We have a nascent left-wing movement in the local governments of many cities. It's loose and relatively unorganized but it's more than we've had in decades. Bernie's run in 2016 has a lot to do with that.
Our primary election turnout is abysmal, and Americans need to realize that the primaries are how the parties get reformed. Maybe the Democratic Party will have its Tea Party moment in 2026.
Job #1 has always been to loot the treasury. It's a class war and they just scored a major victory.
This is why I don't even think Trump really cares all that much about immigrants, or trans persons, or abortion rights. All of it was campaign rhetoric to keep him out of jail, and otherwise they are all in the same basket of people he doesn't spend a second thinking about. The problem is that also means he also doesn't care about what the white supremacists and the evangelists in his party will do.
LemmyNSFW admins have been hostile to adult art communities from the start. I (very) briefly set up a community over there when the instance spun up, but shut it down when the admins started to get snotty and proscriptive publicly. Some of it I understand, because it's a thorny legal environment, but that's all the more reason to want to be somewhere where I feel like the admins have my back.
