My dear lgbt+ kids, 

I'm compiling some safety tips here for people in the US here that I found online. Some things you may want to do before January: 

  • Make an appointment with your doctor to talk about a long-term birth control plan, such as an IUD or vasectomy. 
  • Make an appointment with your doctor to make sure your vaccinations are up to date and to get a Covid booster. 
  • Check in, and stay in contact with, your queer friends. There’s strength in numbers. Community is important. 
  • Consider renewing your passport if necessary. 
  • Consider stocking up on fluoride toothpaste, pregnancy tests or other health products you worry about not (safely) having access to in the future. 
  • Rest up. Hydrate. Eat. Take care of yourself. The best act of rebellion is staying alive. You don’t need to feel strong or brave or even optimistic, just be kind to yourself. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Some additional information on fluoride, to answer the questions in the comments: as everything in this list, this is a safety measure for potential situations that could arise. I obviously can not predict the future. With that in mind:

Fluoride is an important mineral primarily used to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. It helps rebuild weakened enamel and can reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth that causes decay. In many places, fluoride is added to public water supplies in safe amounts, a measure backed by numerous studies showing it significantly reduces dental issues, especially in children.

Politicians who are right-wing extremists or conspiracy theorists may, however, seek to ban fluoride due to long-standing misinformation that fluoride is a form of government control or even a toxin (similar to the misinformation about vaccines that they also may seek to ban).

Some add-ons I can think of:

  • As dark as it may sound: if you are a woman (or are read as one) and you’re considering breaking up with or divorcing a man, do it NOW. Who knows if you still can when Project 2025 comes.
  • There’s a post going around by @lesbiantestsubject on how to stockpile HRT
  • Maybe keep on extra eye out on signs of suicidal tendencies in your friends. Suicide rates may skyrocket.
  • Just… hug your trans friends. Seriously, we need it.

Good additions! But obligatory addition on my part to that first point: breaking up or filing for divorce can be dangerous, especially in an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

So, if that’s your situation: Reach out for support. Let trusted friends, family, or a support group know about your situation. And plan your exit carefully, even if time is of essence. Choose a safe time and place to leave, ideally when the other person isn't around. Plan how you'll get out and where you'll go. Collect IDs, bank info, and any essentials beforehand so you're prepared to leave without having to go back. Also, create a safety plan. Know your options in case things escalate, like where to hide or who to call. Have emergency contacts ready and consider storing a “go-bag” in a safe place. After leaving, consider limiting what you share publicly and possibly changing passwords. This can prevent tracking or unwanted contact.

If you’re trans, get things like surgery and name changes going PRONTO. Especially if you have already started hormone therapy or have had any other surgeries previously. Make sure you get your birth certificate changed.

You may be able to petition the judge hearing your name change request to waive having to report your name in newspapers.

Another important addition, thankyou!

Also trans folks!

Reminder/psa that your passport is acceptable as a form of ID in place of things like your driver's license!

and, thanks to the Biden administration, you can currently SELF CERTIFY YOUR GENDER MARKER when applying for a passport, EVEN IF it doesn't match the marker on your other docs

if you need a legal ID with an updated gender marker, GET YOUR PASSPORT

even if you're not planning to go anywhere, being able to use it instead of your driver's license if you need to show ID for something could be a really good option to have

keep your options open and watch out for each other 💜

by the way, did I mention the argentinian protest of gandalfs in the doorstep of ai data collecting and mass surveillance company palantir ceo peter thiel???

their statement to the press:

We have a super villain living in our city, are we going to let this huge shadow drown our horizon? Today we, lxs Gandalfs del sur [The Gandalfs of the South], lit the first beacon to illuminate a path of resistance. Our land doesn't want to be a lab for alchemy orchestrated by millionaires who conspire over our existence.

it's important to note that, aside from the obvious (being the ceo of palantir), thiel bought a big share over the biggest oil exporter of argentina, a big piece in the exploitation of argentinian oil and gas deposits vaca muerta in patagonia, a land currently under national vigilance in the people's defense against the attempt to increase legal international land purchase that the current government wants to make happen

Margery Booth, also known as Margery Kallus, was a British-born opera singer who lived a double life as a daring MI6 wartime spy, successfully filtering Nazi intelligence to Great Britain while performing for Adolf Hitler’s inner circle. Despite her immense bravery, she remained largely uncelebrated and forgotten for decades after World War II.

I hate when non-women make jokes about hating women. When men do it it makes me want to stab them repeatedly but I hate when nb people do it too. Like at minimum it makes me trust you less.

I hate when people make jokes about how much they hate a gender. It just ain’t cool. It’s not very nice. I don’t see why there’d ever be a reason to do it ever.
