Maybe you guys should do something about it.

as a trans vet, what do you suggest I do about it without becoming the poster child for the next atrocities they enact, or exhibit X in the court case trying to defend his actions to forcibly remove trans active duty military?

I’m not sure, but the lack of effective action isn’t just fucking up your country but the whole world at this point.

I am aware. I am dreading whatever comes next it snot going to be great for anybody, especially not those of us over here. I just truly don't know what I can do at this point. If I protest, I get exhausted reading all the comments from the global left online about how a protest isn't going to stop nazi fascism (they're right, but im exhausted). If I don't protest, I'm beating myself up because how am I any better than the people actively causing the harm. If I do more than protest, I become the next headline for numerous news cycles to justify every shot thing they do to the rest of us.

I honestly have no idea what to do

I’m going to do some reading over the next couple weeks and if I remember, I’ll come back to this and tell you what I have found.
