“Two Democratic lawmakers have sparked a fierce backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates after shifting their stance on transgender athlete participation in women’s sports. Reps. Tom Suozzi and Seth Moulton, previously supportive of trans rights, now argue for limiting transgender athletes in response to recent political pressure. This shift has raised concerns about the Democratic Party’s commitment to transgender protections amidst deepening intra-party divides.”

How We Survive If He Comes Back: A Coping Guide For LGBTQ Folx

Joe Borders, LGBTQ therapist:

If he comes back, at first you may have the urge to stare the situation straight in the face, watch the news 24/7, and feel like you need to be constantly connected and aware. This is a natural human response to disaster and trauma. It’s the brain’s way of attempting to keep us safe in the presence of uncertainty.

In the early days, this is ok, because, honestly, I think for many of us this urge is going to be too strong to fight, but try to disconnect in some way at some point. When the dust settles a little bit, or honestly, as soon as you can, try to consume information in moderation. You can’t be on high alert all the time. You will burn out.

So stay informed, connect when you can, but also take some time to unwind, relax, and do other things. In most scenarios you don’t need to know word for word exactly what happens as it’s happening. In our connected world, its safe to assume if something major happens, you’ll hear about it soon.

Trump and the transphobes won in the US. But there are still ways trans people can win.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s re-election, we call for unity and legal resistance within the transgender community.
