What scares me (living in a comparatively sane country) is that even though on most levels I'm fully aware that this is actually happening right now, a part of my mind keeps insisting that the thought of any of this being real is an absolutely ridiculous idea. It just seems way too dystopian to have anything in common with reality.

All the strength and luck to those who find themselves in the same situation as the author(s).

I am not trans, but I've been putting together a similar plan to evacuate my trans nephew from the red state he's in, to here in California.

I unfortunately don't have the resources to potentially help them get out of the country, but I have family who do, though I haven't actually broached that subject with them (and I suspect that broaching it at this point wouldn't go anywhere except making them think I'm being alarmist).

Right now it feels like watching a storm build on the horizon, and trying to figure out how bad it's going to be when it gets here.

Very eye-opening read in terms of specificity.

Really love this, me and mine already got a ways down this planning path, but there are some really great tips I hadn't considered. It also feels nice to know that my thoughts are shared by yet another.

This was really helpful for me as a person living outside of the United States. We can feel the tension from across the Pacific but reading through the very real scenarios is sobering.
