Aside that: it's why I am more and more hesitant to accept being trans. Because you can cover over being wrong with "oh, gender is fluid". It prevents you from having to admit there's something fucky about gender ideology, particularly that it allows you to abandon gender fluidity when it's socially convenient

I am looking forward to the collective amnesia in the future where everyone pretends they were disgusted the entire time by mutilating children and they never supported trans kids getting "gender affirming care"*.

*After they have thoroughly scrubbed their social media of them crowing about how its so troonphobic to deny children this, of course.

I'm 100% sure this will happen. And when you will say that they were in favour of it the whole time, they would claim you are mad and a theory conspiracy lover

But at least it will be over.
 
Someone in the Erin Reed thread posted a pooner freaking out over the "trans refugee crisis".
Someone on tumblr referenced Snaggletooth favourably. Tumblr is of a pooner whose manly interests are sewing, embroidery, and reblogging cutesy fanart. Archive.

Your joy does not entail my approval, nor does it entail you grooming other vulnerable people into your cult. Erin himself would see tons of trans kids mutilated and destroyed provided it fits his endgame. This was never about 'personal choice' - especially since you want the government paying for this care and GOT IT quicker than normies get coverage for dental care or necessary surgery. That is one reason why we hate you.

US Internal Refugee Crisis: 130-260k Trans People Have Already Fled (Archive)
As state legislatures across America proliferate anti-transgender legislation, a growing crisis is unveiling itself. Transgender individuals and their loved ones are increasingly criminalized by their home states and their care, banned. This is prompting a growing number to seek refuge elsewhere. The scale of this issue remained under wraps until a recent Data For Progress survey brought to light the unsettling reality: hundreds of thousands of transgender people have already left their home states, and more than a million are considering a similar course of action in the coming months. These transgender individuals, frequently accompanied by their families, often sacrifice their jobs and relinquish their stability to reach the sanctuary of states willing to facilitate their care and protect them under the law. Should this trend persist, we may witness the largest domestic migration crisis since the Dust Bowl upheaval of the 1940s.

The numbers are stark. The poll from Data For Progress shows that 8% of all transgender people have already moved out of their community or state as a result of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. An additional 43% of transgender people are likewise considering moving. Transgender people are between 0.5-1% of the population of the United States, meaning that 130-260,000 transgender people have already fled their home states. An additional million transgender people are considering leaving due to the anti-trans legislation that targets them.
The stories of those forced to leave are both heartbreaking and hopeful. One transgender woman, Sheena, left Florida to move to Minnesota. Florida has recently passed extremely harsh legislation targeting the transgender community, and Sheena cited this legislation in her decision to move with her partner, stating that she “had to leave Florida within one month [of the transgender medical ban on adults] to avoid having my care halted.”

When asked what the hardest part of her move was, she stated, “The hardest part has been watching friends of mine and listening to them talk about being stuck there. Most lost access to care. I had people begging me to take them with me when I moved, but I could only accommodate myself and my partner. It was heartbreaking. So many people are completely helpless to get out, even with all the bumps and roadblocks, the fact is I'm still one of the lucky ones.”

Ariel is another transgender woman who left Florida. When she chose to leave to Chicago, she had to wait four months in order to finish up college classes. When asked about the days leading up to her move, she stated, “It was tough because it felt like the world was caving in around me.”

The law that got her to make the final move was the bathroom ban and the medical right to discriminate law. She cited fears of the loss of her medication and the lack of treatment should she ever be hospitalized for anything serious.

She brightens up when speaking of her experiences in Chicago, stating that she feels much safer in the city, “I don’t worry nearly as much just walking around, the attitude has significantly changed.”
Mary, the parent of a transgender daughter, fled Texas for Colorado in 2022 following Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempts to investigate and charge the parents of trans youth with child abuse. She knew that the legislative session in Texas would not go well for her family. After carefully weighing her family’s options, she left overnight in an ice storm.

Though her move was chaotic, she has found the move to be the best thing she could do for her family, “We no longer have to worry about my daughter being reported to the state or being bullied for being who she is.”

Anna is a transgender individual who fled Tennessee for Nevada. Tennessee has been one of the sites of some of the worst anti-trans legislation, and is also notable for its anti-trans rallies held by Matt Walsh, one of the lead voices of the anti-trans movement. Nevada, on the other hand, recently passed a ballot initiative enshrining gender identity protections into its constitution.

The move was very difficult for Anna. She struggled financially to find her footing, and she was only able to afford the move after a family member passed away. When asked what lead to her leaving, she stated, “The government hates my existence and I worried if I waited too long, leaving would have been even harder or my transition would progress far enough I couldn’t hide.”

She now makes less money than she did in Tennessee, which she is offsetting by living with roommates. Even with her financial worries, she donates to other struggling trans people when she can.

Some Trans Kids Are Being Forced to Flee America for Their Safety (Archive)
The bill banning gender-affirming care for Texas youth — which threatens doctors who offer transition care to minors with loss of licensure — became a law two years after Grey’s testimony, and many families left the state in response. But the Wilsons, who aren’t being identified with their real last name due to safety concerns, were worried that simply going to a blue state like California or Colorado wouldn’t be enough. What if their new state started passing the same policies as their old one? Lauren knew that selling their house would only generate enough revenue to finance one move, and she worried they would be stuck if they chose the wrong state.

Instead of risking their only chance at escape, Grey and Lauren decided to flee the United States altogether and start over in New Zealand — a country where they had few friends or connections. They chose New Zealand for pragmatic reasons: It’s considered among the world’s most LGBTQ+ friendly nations, ranked 10th in a 2020 survey from UCLA think tank the Williams Institute — and the climate is more mild than Canada, ranked fifth. They wouldn’t have to learn a new language, unlike third-place Norway ― and 11th-place Australia has the most reptile species of any country, a major deal breaker for Lauren. (New Zealand, in contrast, is the only country on earth with no snakes.)
And without established networks in place, trans children and their loved ones have largely been left to fend for themselves, whether it’s researching friendly countries or financing their move. When Marie Ponce’s family decided to move to Uruguay after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was reelected in November 2021, they knew they couldn’t afford to take the entire contents of their four-bedroom home with them — which an online calculator for an international storage service estimates would cost up to $17,000.

When Marie, her husband and two children leave the U.S. next month, they will take just four suitcases with them. A friend has agreed to hold onto their car and some family photo albums to make sure there’s some record left of their previous life, the one they had spent years building in Texas.

The Ponces, who are being identified by pseudonyms out of concern for their safety, chose to move to Uruguay despite the expense, Marie said, because it’s one of the most welcoming countries in South America to foreign workers, and they would be able to obtain residency after three years. Uruguay also has some of the world’s most progressive laws mandating equality for the trans community. After passing a law in 2009 allowing trans people to correct their name and gender identity in government documents, the country went even further in 2018, enacting sweeping policies intended to guarantee “a life free from discrimination and stigmatization.” The “Trans Law,” as it’s known colloquially, established a constitutional right to gender-affirming care and set aside 1% of all government jobs for trans workers.

What they are hoping to find in Uruguay is a place where Marie’s 9-year-old daughter, Chloe, will no longer be a political football. Before Texas passed its gender-affirming care ban, Abbott issued an executive order in February 2022 directing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents who allow their children to transition. The directive achieved what Texas Republicans had been trying to do for an entire year: In April 2021, lawmakers advanced legislation seeking to classify the provision of gender-affirming care to minors as “child abuse,” which is a potential first-degree felony in Texas, punishable by up to 99 years in prison.

In the following months, child welfare agents opened cases against dozens of families across the state, and the Ponces compiled a “safe folder” with letters from family members, psychologists, and even local faith leaders stating that Chloe is happy and healthy, in case they got a knock at their door. Marie knew that this was no way for her child to live, that Chloe needed to live in a place where the fear of persecution wouldn’t be part of her daily life.

“It’s been really important to me to let my child have a childhood,” Marie said. “I’ve tried to keep her insulated, so that she can grow up and be who she is. If you knew her, the least interesting thing about her is that she’s trans. I just wanted to go to a place where people wouldn’t care.”
A third parent who spoke for this story, Vanessa Nichols, was forced to move her 14-year-old son back to the U.S. from Costa Rica after she was unexpectedly terminated from her position working in the country’s tourism sector. She and her son had originally fled Florida in November 2020 after they started getting death threats sent to their home, including a handwritten note telling her that she would be hunted by local mobs if she didn’t “repent” for her son’s identity.

“It felt scary. It felt lonely. It just felt impossible to stay in that state because it wasn’t safe,” Nichols said over a Zoom call a few days before learning she had been let go. “I’m originally from Chicago, but my parents moved me down to Florida when I was 10 so I spent most of my life there. All of a sudden, it felt so foreign to me.”

For families who can’t afford to immigrate or don’t want to risk relocating to countries where they may lack support networks in case of emergency, upstart groups are helping trans people and their relatives find safe havens within the U.S. and other resources they need — including suggesting LGBTQ+ affirming schools and helping families find health care. Such groups include Elevated Access, a door-to-door helicopter service that helps trans passengers fly out of state to relocate or seek gender-affirming care; Transitional Justice, which provides housing for trans people seeking to leave hostile states; and A Place for Marsha, which focuses on finding safe shelter for those seeking specifically to move to Las Vegas.
Roberto Che Espinoza and his partner fled Tennessee this year following a yearslong campaign of targeted harassment from far-right groups, which Espinoza said included unmarked packages being sent to their home. Following his move, Espinoza’s nonprofit, Our Collective Becoming, has pivoted to providing mutual aid funds for trans people and families moving to the greater Rochester area, where he is currently living in a safe house. He estimates their sector of upstate New York has been seeing “100 to 200 trans and queer refugees a month.”

Espinoza is working to get local churches to donate food, clothing, and even money to trans refugees and their loved ones as they resettle. “Housing is a big need,” he said. “There’s no rent control in Rochester, and people are in definite need of affordable housing. There are not enough mental health care providers, period, and with this influx of people, I don’t know what we do.”

I'd say Tony has a lot of balls to say something like that, but then I remember he doesn't.
 
Kids ending up in foster care because of trans issues is a concern, I think. I follow several social media accounts that foster older kids, and they can often suffer worse abuse and neglect in a system, it’s a meat grinder.

If a kid is around drugs or DV, not eating, living in filth, being injured by family or having medical needs completely ignored, then removal is indicated. But a parent being cautious or not immediately affirming while still acting kindly in other ways is not abuse. And this system is already lacking families. Older kids will often end up in group homes or even juvenile halls if not placed. Only half of foster youth graduate from HS and less than 10% from college. The outcomes are just not good.

I was very lucky to avoid contact with this system as a teenager, went with a family friend for a while. It was…okay, I guess, not ideal, but I wasn’t warehoused or abused, got to stay in my school and community. I got the resources I needed and nobody messed with me. That’s miles better than foster care in many cases, which is just a sad indictment of how US society cares for kids. (If someone in your life is having trouble with their kids, by the way, keeping them with family or close friends is legally and sometimes financially supported by the state- kinship care. And you don’t always need to be biologically related).

Removing kids for foster care rips them out of their lives and puts them at huge risks. Knowing this, I really think doing this for “not affirming” is a terrible idea unless the kid is in physical danger. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
 
Removing kids for foster care rips them out of their lives and puts them at huge risks.
There was a high school aged pooner who ran away from her house because grandma didn't affirm her. She ended up getting pimped out by an older "boyfriend" and then placed in male(!) juvie where she was again raped.

idk I often think about the intersection of class with this movement. The average middle class+ kid can be a happy enby/pooner and maybe just grow out of it relatively unscathed. But the poorer kids who get exposed to this stuff through social media, with less access to resources in more vulnerable situations are more likely to end up having their lives ruined.
 
Crosspost from A+N:

"Florida Was Their Home. Anti-Trans Laws Led Them to Flee" - "As red states pass laws limiting gender-affirming care and abortions, families are moving. One expert calls it 'an uncountable diaspora'"

A bill banning sex changes for minors causes a woman to panic for her troon husband, because telling kids they can't chop off their tits is literally genocide.
After work, Casey’s head swirled. She first considered how she’d tell her transgender wife, Jamie, that their family of four would soon have to pack up their lives and leave the only place they’d ever called home. She then checked her bank account. She had about $3,000 saved. It wasn’t much, but Casey figured it was enough cash to quickly get her family across Florida state lines if necessary.

Over the next two months, Casey put her plan in place. She took on extra hours at work and listed their house on the market. The couple sold what they could — a camper, two canoes. When they learned the bill had been approved on Thursday, May 4, Casey didn’t hesitate. “I figured [Gov. Ron DeSantis] would sign it by 5 p.m. on Friday, so my goal was to be on the road by then,” she recalls.

“We had about 24 hours.”
And we have a description of Florida that is as fake and made up as any story off of Reddit.
Null should have noose necklaces as a merch run someday, though.
TO UNDERSTAND THE STAKES FOR families like Casey and Jamie’s, whose last name Rolling Stone agreed to withhold to protect their privacy, one only has to look at Ron DeSantis’ Florida. Since taking office, DeSantis has signed a suite of bills into law that ban transgender girls and women from participating in public sports and prevent trans individuals from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. (Plus a six-week abortion ban that went into effect earlier this year.) DeSantis also championed the controversial “Parental Rights in Education” law, better known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, which prohibits discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms through the third grade.

But Casey and Jamie first noticed a shift in their neighborhood even before any new laws were passed. The changes began shortly after Trump was elected in 2016. There were more Confederate flags waving over doorways, and cars drove by with giant banners featuring Trump’s head superimposed on the oiled, muscular body of a machine-gun-toting Rambo. At work, Casey noticed co-workers had decorated their cars with bumper stickers advertising a local group known for white supremacist leanings.

The hostility hit closer to home when Jamie came out in 2020. “The neighbor across the street responded by telling us we were going to hell,” recalls Casey. Others on the block told their children they could no longer play with Casey and Jamie’s kids, Marie and Angelo. One neighbor, a former mechanic in the sheriff’s department who wore a small gold necklace in the shape of a noose, regularly lingered by their yard boasting about his connections to officers who would happily seek out justice in an “extralegal” way. “People were showing their true colors,” says Jamie. “I thought, if this is the way all of y’all felt all along, it’s not a safe place to be.”
Also, by sheer coincidence, the troon family has a non-binary kid! Who'd have thought?
Around that same time, the Florida Department of Health began prohibiting transgender residents from changing their names and gender on their birth certificates. In addition, the state passed another law, House Bill 1069, that banned school staff from using pronouns for teachers or students that do not align with their assigned birth sex.

The restrictions would impact Jamie’s medical care. But for both Casey and Jamie, whose younger child, Angelo, identifies as nonbinary, their biggest fears lay in new legal language around child welfare, which grants the courts “temporary emergency jurisdiction over a child present in this state if the child has been subjected to or is threatened with being subjected to sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures.” Though the wording was somewhat ambiguous, every possible interpretation left Casey alarmed.
They choose to live in a college town in Illinois, because colleges are basically troon indoctrination centers now.
Given the political climate, Casey decided the safest bet would be landing in a state with sanctuary laws, or a place that protects anyone seeking access to care. The other narrowing factor was affordability. California and Colorado, for example, enticed Casey and Jamie, but the cost of living removed both states from their list. In the end, they chose Illinois, specifically Carbondale, a college town of around 20,000 people that sits on the very southern edge of the state.

By the time Casey, Jamie, and their kids reached Southern Illinois after a day of driving with their seven animals, they were exhausted. When Jamie pulled up to the house, there was a large pride flag hanging over the front door. “It brought tears to my eyes because I just felt safe,” says Jamie, who later learned the flag was a gift from their new neighbors. (News of Casey and Jamie’s arrival had spread after Jamie reached out to a local LGBTQ community center.)
And their non-troon kid hangs around the grooming center LGBTQ community center.
Marie sits upstairs on her canopy bed surrounded by collaged images of Chappell Roan and Lana Del Rey and a swarm of dolls she’s collected in recent months. On this particular evening, Marie hosts two new friends who she met through Rainbow Cafe, Carbondale’s LGBTQ community center.

At one point, the conversation naturally drifts to a timeless, quintessential teen topic.

“Carbondale is crap,” says one friend. “I can’t wait to get out of here.”

“We’re the only blue area that accepts LGBTQ people in this whole entire state,” retorts the other. “Just take what you have. We are the best of Southern Illinois.”
In trying to praise this town, they just make it sound like the most insufferable place imaginable:
CARBONDALE, A LIBERAL COLLEGE TOWN amidst miles of conservative farmland, is not easily defined. From the road, anti-choice billboards invoking the Bible hover over highways, while in town the pungent smell of marijuana lingers in the air. Rep. Mike Bost, a vocal ally of Trump, represents the city, as does Clare Killman, the first trans person elected to a city council in Illinois. On Sundays, a small group of residents gather to protest the war in Gaza while khakied worshippers file into pews at some 50 churches in the area.

Over the past two years, Carbondale, like other blue islands, has become a temporary destination for those seeking abortions — the city is the closest place to get the procedure for more than 1.2 million women — and a more permanent home for queer people who need access to care. Several clinics — Alamo Clinic, Choices, and Planned Parenthood — have opened since 2022, two of which also provide trans health care services.

"Certain death" by who, themselves and their 41% off bullets and razor blades?
It’s such a bizarre argument. “If there’s no danger, why are people acting like there is, HMMMM?”

It’s like saying, “Well, if there isn’t a machine transmitting thoughts into people’s heads, why do so many schizophrenics think there is?”

Adding to that argument, I sure don't see Fox News and Sky News gleefully reporting TTD every single day. With a trans genocide, one would expect every blue haired TRA and programmer sock wearing troon to be screaming about it. It's like Where's Waldo, but instead it's "Where's Trans Genocide?"

Elon Musk's estranged trans daughter Vivian, 20, announces she's fleeing the country amid Donald Trump's victory

  • Vivian Wilson took to Threads to discuss her 'future' on Tuesday
  • She admitted that she 'doesn't see' herself residing in America
  • She shared the revelation amid the news that Donald, 78, would be President
By LILLIAN GISSEN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Published: 13:40, 7 November 2024 | Updated: 17:24, 7 November 2024

Elon Musk's estranged transgender daughter has announced that she is planning to leave the US amid Donald Trump's win.
Vivian Wilson, 20, who has publicly been at odds with her billionaire Tesla creator father for months, took to Threads to discuss her 'future' following the news that Donald, 78, would be the next US President.
She admitted that she 'doesn't see' herself residing in America now that he is heading back to office.
'I've thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me,' she wrote. 'I don't see my future being in the United States.
'Even if he's only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don't happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.'

Elon Musk 's estranged transgender daughter has announced that she is planning to leave the US amid Donald Trump 's win

Avid Trump supporter Elon, who has reportedly fathered 12 children from three different women, welcomed Vivian with his first wife, Justine Wilson, in 2004.
She was born as a male named Xavier, but filed court documents seeking to legally change her gender from male to female in April 2022.
At the time, she also requested to change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking the maiden name of her mother.
She stated: 'I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.'
Elon, 53, has since publicly slammed Vivian, calling her a 'communist' who thinks 'anyone rich is evil.'
He also once claimed that he was 'tricked' into allowing Vivian to go on puberty blockers.
'I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,' he said, using her former name.
'This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.'

When asked about gender dysphoria, he added: 'It's incredibly evil and I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.
'I was tricked into doing this. It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.

'I lost my son, essentially. They call it "deadnaming" for a reason.
'The reason they call it "deadnaming" is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.'
Deadnaming is what transgender people typically refer to others calling them by the name they went by before they began to transition.
Elon said that he 'vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that.'
He also posted a Tweet in which he claimed that Vivian was born 'gay and slightly autistic.'
She responded by saying that her father was not around when she was a child, and would relentlessly harass her for her 'femininity and queerness.'
'He doesn't know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there,' she fired back.
'And in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.
'I've been reduced to a happy little stereotype. I think that says a lot about how he views queer people and children in general.'
 
A couple of troons fled from the transphobic state of Iowa to the troon haven of Minnesota, where they were attacked by transphobes (after the troons escalated an argument into a fight).

2 transgender women attacked at Minneapolis light rail station, advocates say

The couple had moved from Iowa to Minnesota, she said. Last year, Minnesota passed the trans refuge law, which keeps out-of-state laws from interfering in the practice of gender-affirming healthcare.

"A lot of people are moving to Minnesota and have moved since we passed the trans refuge bill but I think we're going to see a real spike after the election outcome," said DFL Rep. Leigh Finke.

Finke sponsored the bill. She said she's been hearing from many people in the trans community who are worried about how a Trump presidency will impact their lives.

"The trans community is resilient and strong and we've always existed. We don't need the permission of the government to live and to love and to be ourselves," she said.
The only response to this trauma is e-begging, naturally:
Instagram trannies trying to get a grift going... 'oh no, they don't have a cashapp/venmo/w/e, you'll have to just send us money instead!!!'. They also try and play up that these poor fagbashed trannies were ~unhoused refugees~

but as it turns out they're actually just from fuckin' Iowa.

And a tranny running a trans refugee service killed himself before he could move to Finland:

Trans woman who helped at-risk trans people flee US for more accepting societies dies by suicide

01.png
A trans woman who helped other at-risk trans individuals emigrate out of the U.S. died by suicide last month, it was reported, just as she was going through the process of helping herself immigrate to Finland.

Rynn Willgohs, 52, died on Oct. 8, according to her obituary, which was published in the High Plains Reader five days later. The founder of TRANSport, a nonprofit that sought to help at-risk trans individuals leave the U.S. as they searched for asylum in more accepting societies.

The organization was designed to assist the trans individuals with paperwork and helped them pay the associated costs and offered resettlement support, too.

Back in 2022, Willgohs told The Forum that she planned to move abroad herself. She had spent some time in Iceland over the summer and said she felt much more at home in Icelandic society than she did in the U.S. — they were far more accepting of her identity and didn't treat her as an outsider.

"It's a whole different world over there," she told the publication, explaining that it even took getting used to being seen as just another person instead of an outsider.

Living in Fargo, North Dakota, Willgohs said she was often targeted for her gender identity and stalked and threatened. She took it upon herself to work to advance trans rights in the city — which made her more of a target.

TRANSport thus resulted. She discussed her hopes for the organization back in 2022 and said she hoped it would help other trans people cover the cost of name changes, gender marker changes, hormone treatments, plane tickets and passport costs to settle into a new country.

It's an incorporated 501c3 under the Pride Collective and Community Center, which is another nonprofit operating in Fargo. Kendra Lewellyn, the president of the Pride Collective and Community Center Board, said Willgohs had been a passionate fighter for trans rights through her organization and personal activism.

Lewellyn told The Forum, "The community has just lost a really dedicated advocate, and she was seeking asylum thousands of miles away, but her story and her are just such a part of the Fargo-Moorhead story and of the LGBTQ community in our area. Whether she was thousands of miles away or not, more than ever, people feel it."
In the end, transgenders can't escape their most vicious killers...themselves.
 
Anybody have a line on those tranny death camps in the Carolinas? I just found out through the grapevine that a lesbian couple are fleeing for safety in Argentina!

Of course one half of the lesbian couple has an ex wife and kids, trooning out after the fact (as one does). The other is a true and honest woman who has traditionally been in relationships with other true and honest women. The Troon is apparently fearing for her (lol, his) life.
