Yeah I’m deeply worried she’s going to throw queer and especially trans people under the bus, especially since she’s already compromising on things I don’t want her to compromise on, but she’s not worse than the alternative and I think she understands that single issue voters on lgbt issues can’t be pulled from the republicans but can be lost by the democrats.

Even though I am more on the militant side with LGBTQ+ rights, I’m still pretty worried about what’s to come. I don’t expect the government to help me, and I’m building connections of solidarity and support that will keep myself and others safe, regardless of what happens.

But I’m scared of what’s going to happen to trans kids cursed to grow up in a state like Florida or Oklahoma. Left to rot by a party that’s abandoned them once they’ve voted. I’m worried that queers aren’t realizing that we can’t expect reciprocal support from the Dems, especially at the federal level, and they’re not using their energy to build support networks instead of spending time and energy campaigning for them.
