We might be hitting tipping points due to climate change. Methane being released from permafrost, ocean currents in the north Atlantic stopping/slowing and fucking over Europe.

That will mess with food production. It’s gonna be bad for us and worse for our kids.

Getting denaturalized, losing access to my hormones (I can’t produce either naturally), losing my partner, and ending up in a camp

But you know, cheaper eggs… Maybe…

Sadly, I’m going to be fine. Dual income/no kids, we both make decent money and are WFH. We each own our own home and both were refinanced at the lowest rates a few years back. We have good retirement situations.

We each have friends that are not as lucky as we are.

We each have a niece and nephew between elementary and high school, and they both live in Red states. I fear for them. We’ve had The Talk with our siblings to let them know we will house them if needed for abortion access.

I fear for people that aren’t as lucky as we are. We’ve helped some friends pay for rent for instance, while they were between jobs. We pick up social gathering tab’s when possible, although there’s a couple in our friend circle that usually covers those things as they have a lot more income than even us.

I fear that the US is headed to further turmoil and the people it will affect the most is the people that can’t afford it likely friends and family.

🇦🇷 Our president is working actively to destroy the country, remove all social protections and sell the remainders for cheap, all the while their friends benefit and take all their money to fiscal paradises. All with the applause of people who are barely middle class and hated poor people, women and minorities.

He also destroyed the national postal service, without which is impossible to have a national election.

Possibly having my ID documents reverted to the wrong gender at the federal level, losing access to HRT, my marriage being dissolved by the federal government, being excluded from public life… Just normal trans stuff 😔👍

The end of America, which maybe it’s time.

Finding out who the true allies are to the LGBTQ+ community.

Once I lose my VA disability, I’ll be priced out of existing, I won’t be able to afford my debt, mortgage, bills, and then food and such. I’d have to double my income overnight, and I have zero training or certifications or degrees beyond an AS in General Studies, so it’s not going to happen.

I’m less worried about the national guard than I am about local law enforcement across the country, Trump will give them the green light with impunity.

My biggest fear, though? They’re going to ban all LGBTQ±related healthcare using the same mechanisms as the Federal Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. “Sure, the states can choose the drinking age types of LGBTQ+ healthcare they offer in their state… They just won’t have access to federal funding if it isn’t 21 absolutely none.”

It’s a common estimate that by 2030 we’ll probably have the first blue ocean event, but at the rate we’ve accelerated fossil fuels use along with the military build up and use promised by Trump it’s increasingly likely we’ll see it before then, during Trump’s term.

So, the entire collapse of the food chain.

My parents’ entire retirement being ripped out from under them (military + military disability + federal employee).

Overall degradation of human rights for everyone. De-humanisation of LGBTQ+ people in the eyes of the law. Normalization and acceptance of hate in public spaces.

Our military becoming less professionalized. The question is what sort of fuckery that will enable.

I could end up stateless with the US led by the felon making up random “CCP Spy” bullshit trump-ed up accusations (pun intended), while China goes 汉奸 (Han Jian, Perjorative to describe people perceived to betray Han-Chinese), so this means no country welcomes me. 🥲

Or worse, tortured and dead.

Or I might end up killing myself cuz why bother with this mess.

Edit: But that’s worse case scenario. The US gone through Jim Crow and lynchings. Now here we are, the US still have a democracy, or at leasr something that resembles a democracy. Its gonna need to get worse than Jim Crow for democracy to end.

My job, will I…

1. remain employed most of the time somewhere and

2. will I ever manage to leave retail and return to work for what I studied for?

Also,

3. my parents health

Yep

Well there’s the general world in fire and being trans in the US that’s ever present. For personal stuff I’m currently working toward moving to a new country and going back to college. Hoping that all pans out otherwise you know, being trans in the US…

Also to add I’m currently going through a divorce. Hoping that all pans out before no fault divorce goes under attack. But also I’m trans married so maybe they’ll just invalidate it anyway??

I’m worried about losing access to HRT. I already have a plan to leave the country if need be, but it would suck to sell my house and move somewhere completely unfamiliar. I’ve just started setting down roots in this area. What a shitty time to be trans.

Finding a job, or other means of staying housed
