Where else would we go? Perhaps it's my non-American privilege but I think in a time like that I couldn't be silent.
Honestly, nobody really knows until they are in such a position. I'd like to think I'd be noble and rebel but honestly I think I'd just try and stay quiet and under the radar. The older I've gotten, the more cynical I've become about positive change.
I'm more worried with making sure me and my family are in a good position. And if I start posting dissent online and end up in a gulag or just get dissapeared for it.. it's not quite conducive to that goal.
Yeah, I thought about it more after commenting. I can't know for certain what I would do given a bad timeline. Maybe I'd just go offline, spread fliers, something.
that's kinda where i am. I'm in the mindset to be as gay as possible and as loud as possible about my dissent on what's happening here.
me and my partner are both also trans. our lives are probably worthless anyway, why would i cower now?? I've worked too hard to become my own person to let the fuckin GOVERNMENT take it away from me. they can strip my rights and even kill me, but they can't make me not be queer.
