As a Canadian, my next step is to worry about whether we, stupidly, elect the Russian asset known as PeePee up here during a Trump administration across the border.
This scenario would pretty much just turn all of N America into a facist continent. Corruption and corporate rule would create social chaos and upheaval.
Both our countries are on their last breaths as it is.
I’ve been stockpiling currencies and practicing another language, while looking into citizenship through my heritage. Also been reading a lot of info over on resisters.info I’ve never really been one to worry about stuff like politics to this degree, but the world as a whole is just getting so crazy and I just want to be able to live a peaceful life, so I want to prepare incase.
Hunker down, pre budget anticipating more layoffs. I’m “lucky” in that I’m cis, white, male, married, too old for draft. So will also spend my time looking after folks in my community that don’t have those keywords. I am already a friend to all, but will think double about their needs/concerns. (Obviously respecting their privacy). Try to volunteer more than normal.
would strongly recommend my transfolk friends move out of FL and TX, and really any red state. I know it’s hard, but these places… they’re not run by people in their right minds.
i want to add for any trans folks thinking about moving to canada: make sure you check provincial laws. we have a federal bill enshrining trans rights*, but some of our provinces are interested in just ignoring it using the notwithstanding clause. obviously do your own research but i would say british columbia is probably your best bet (coastal bc especially, the interior is a little… traditionalist)
What do you mean? Just because you wish you were a woman doesn’t make you a woman. It’s nothing wrong with being feminine, of wishing you were a woman, but it doesn’t change hard facts, that you have XY-chromosomes, and are born with a dick.
So what?? Why do chromosomes matter at all? Gender ≠ sex. Anyone is allowed to identify however they want, and it literally hurts nobody.
However, trans people do actually have brain structures that mismatch their assigned sex at birth. Also, most differences of sex are just caused by hormones, so HRT really does meaningfully change someone's sex.
You should also know that human biology is not so clean cut. Intersex people exist, and for example there are people born female with a Y chromosome.
Unless you have more data to back it up than a single study made in Mexico, you don’t have much data to back up your point with. Studies can often have biases, so one study alone doesn’t exactly prove a lot. I’m sure there are plenty of studies concluding the opposite.
And why does anything matter at all? Besides the biological processes in your body being different. Being a specific sex/gender doesn’t require you to act a certain way, you can literally do anything you want. I just think it’s wrong to differentiate sex and gender.
By quoting wikipedia:
Some people maintain that the word sex should be reserved for reference to the biological aspects of being male or female or to sexual activity, and that the word gender should be used only to refer to sociocultural roles. … In some situations this distinction avoids ambiguity, as in gender research, which is clear in a way that sex research is not. The distinction can be problematic, however. Linguistically, there isn’t any real difference between gender bias and sex bias, and it may seem contrived to insist that sex is incorrect in this instance.
I’m thinking on going to south america, I would rather go to Europe, but If Trump wins its very likely he will allow Russia to go and invade other nato members starting ww3
There’s one that you had to leave for a day per some interval (a year iirc) and could come right back and resume your effectively residential (but not technically) life. Can’t find it now but…
Seems Georgia offers a year at a time with a simple day trip across the border as needed.
Language would be a helluva challenge but…. Alright. I’d take the learning curve over living under Emporer Big Mac.
Judging by the Arkansas supreme court elections it doesn’t look like it. 2 seats opening, 4 judges currently holding seats are running for them. If they lose they keep their current seat, if they win they take the new seat and resign their old. Those positions are then filled by the Governor without need of an election. Aka stacking the courts through loop holes.
I’ve been pursuing getting citizenship in an EU country since my grandparents were born in the EU and came to the US. Their country of origin seems to allow it so I’ve lined up an appointment with an immigration attorney I found online to see if they can help. I’ve started doing DuoLingo for the local language. I can’t do another four years of Trump and I doubt he will leave at the end of the term if he wins. I hunkered down and dealt with it last time but damn I can’t take that stress anymore.
Continue living outside of the US, which means I'm not doing anything, really. If the US were to get stupidly unstable, pull my remaining assets out and maybe try to get Visa for family to come here (Japan), but that seems unlikely to happen.
