    we will survive bad times

    I don't know who "we" is, but I won't. I guess its all those strong trans people I keep hearing about. I'm already a self harmy suicidal mess. If E gets taken away from me or they ban me in public I'm not sure I would. Which I'm not too broken up about because living through that sounds awful, living through this now is already awful.

    if they come

    They are already here and getting worse. I agree gay people have mostly "made it", for now. I still think being gay is different in a lot of key ways, I think it doesn't matter as much, I'd definitely rather society accepted me as trans and was good about it but I was never able to marry another girl. Its easier for people to accept being gay, its easier to hide, and its a much less significant part of identity. It also doesn't require constant medical care. I also think the fascists will come for gay rights soon enough as it is, and libs being useless fuckers will let it happen. Just like they've let all these fucking hate laws get passed. Whatever allies we have can't or won't do anything.

    I'm not worried about personally losing air travel or whatever. I'm worried about what other people do when things get worse. Is blaming minorities and generally getting more fashy not a thing that happens in such cases? Certainly looks like what's happening. I also think you're underselling the effects. Look at rent prices, or how hard getting a job is.

      You will survive and thrive

      Things will be hard as the system fails to distribute goods, yeah. We will need to do redistribute goods based on need and it will be illegal under the current system. We may need to squat as the system fails to distribute housing based on need.

      Ultimately what unites us all is the need to work for money, all differences will be erased in the face of system failure - part of the freak out is that the people who were once in the charmed circle are falling outside it and are now amongst the disinherited, that's the source of doomerism you might see online. My people already survived the apocalypse 400 years ago when the settlers came, so I know we can all survive (my people already did) and I know a new world is possible

        suicide

        I will kill myself if that happens. I will not live under such fear. I need to shore up my plans to avoid being forced to stay here. Being forced to live through that would be worse then dying. I already didn't want to live through collapse as a cis person, I completely refuse as a trans person.

        all differences will be erased in the face of system failure

        That's the reason half this country is frothing at the mouth to erase me, isn't it? Why it'll be illegal to get hormones? And another half that won't do anything to stop them. I sincerely wish everyone who wants to stick around for the shitshow the best, but that's not me.

        for anyone concerned about my immediate safety, I have no means and no immediate plans. I simply will not stick around if the scenario terminal describes happens.
