Not going anywhere ...

As anticipated, Donald the restored king has issued executive orders designed to legislate people who experience the fluidity of gender, broadly trans- and gender binary-folk, out of existence. 

Good luck with that. The World Wildlife Fund chronicles how commonly gender fluidity manifests among animal species. (Wonder if WWF' will submit in advance by taking that page down?)

But MAGA's got to try to create its own reality. Trump killed off several Biden executive orders, including one protecting transfolk in the military and another against discrimination based on gender identity. (Don't be surprised if those links die -- MAGA may not be able to erase transfolk, but it can probably corrupt the Federal Register.)

MAGA is going to do anything it can to make life hellish for people who live in gender non-conformity. Gotta have someone to project their insecurities onto when you are bullies and cowards.

Charlotte Clymer of Charlotte's Web gently explicates what's next:

... Once the discomfort over trans and non-binary people has been directly addressed through the full gamut of the resources of the federal government and every lever under Trump’s control has been pulled, his supporters will not only find their problems in life have not improved but trans folks are still very much around.

Their stubborn discomfort over trans people will never go away because trans people will never go away.

Trans and non-binary people exist all over the world and always have. In every nationality, every race, every ethnicity, every country, every culture, every religion, over thousands of years of recorded human history, all around the globe, you will find trans and non-binary people.

We have always been here, and we always will be. We are naturally occurring.

And it will be a crushing realization for a lot of non-trans people in this country when, after Trump has done all he says he will, their struggles are still present and targeting trans people both failed to remove their discomfort with our existence and alleviate their growing rage and desperation with trying to exist in a country that makes it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for working class families to survive.

So, yes, as strange as it may sound to many, I genuinely feel bad for these people. They have been sold a senseless narrative that revolves around a cruel solution to a non-existent problem that's used to assign blame for their struggles by someone who could not care less about their welfare.

I find that tragic.

Meanwhile, once again, trans people aren’t going anywhere.

I spent all of childhood and most of adulthood in deep anxiety, depression, anger, and denial over my gender identity. For many years, I prayed God would somehow heal me—would somehow cleanse me—of being who I am.

It took a long time to recognize being trans is a gift from God and that I am lovingly made in God's image, and for all the obstacles, I am never closer to God than in my full authenticity.

Trump can take that up with Her.

Yes!
