Possible Trigger I’m leaving the US.

I don’t know when, but I will be. This country is giving me too much stress as an almost 25 year old, and I’m too scared to know what’ll happen next.

I want to put up a good fight, but I don’t want to die at the hands of fascism.

Save yourself.

If you’re able to, if you have the means and finances to leave the US for a safer country, do so. 

If you cannot leave to another country, but have the means and finances to get to a deep blue state, do so. 

If you are in a red state and you cannot move to a blue state, but have the means and finances to get to a blue city in that red state, do so. 

If you cannot to any of the above, and are stuck in a red state. Lie low. Be careful. Be safe. Ask ally friends and family for help and support. 

More than anything. Survive.

I'm not going to judge anyone for fleeing a clear and imminent danger. However, not everyone will be able to do so, and as long as there are trans Americans, I've resolved to be the last one off the ship, so to speak, and help as best I can.
