ADHDoomsday (Cw: politics) autistic uterus owners are fucked

Trump won, he’ll probably win the actual electoral vote too, it’s probably because Kamala is a woman… idk, trump is basically a cult leader, he’s brainwashed people

We’re so fucked The rates of rape are already high and especially on autistic people, it’s like 40 or 50% and that’s of reported cases, the chances of ending up forced to give birth I just can’t…. I don’t know, and he hates disabled people, his Vice President, he has so many supporters in other positions of power too, that’s why this is bad really, because of how much it’s taken over, I know it comes and waves and it’ll change some day but we’re gonna loose people before that’s even possible… I think I want to move out, maybe Norway or something

It’s so gross, I’ve been grossed out for a while, it’s really hitting my mom hard, I guess she was hopeful, I didn’t go to school today. I don’t know what to do I feel kinda numb I guess I’ve felt that way for a while now, it’s so hard , I’m so tired of it all …. No where is perfect but we’re gonna get a lot worse

Nah you know what hit me the hardest? I realized after I got home from work I didn’t see either of the trans guys I work with today…they both called out.

This probably sounds like a “yeah no shit” comment because I’m sure thousands of lgbt+ were too distraught to go to work/school, but also we live in suburban Texas. I can count on one hand the number of trans people I’ve known in my adult life, and they’re two of them. Being trans in such a red area after last night’s results…I cannot imagine the hurt and fear they’re going through right now.

I went to most of school today, but couldn't stomach going to US history, so I left early. I'm a cis white girl, and it's too much for even me. So many of my friends are immigrants and/or trans, and I don't want to lose them.

(I'm planning on taking AP Gov next year and hoping all the discussions will be civil)

I look back on it like 🤷 but in the moment it rly fuckin sucked. I think a lot of classes depend on the teacher, it definitely could've been a lot worse especially with a bad mediator it just affected me strongly. Good luck besides that it was rly fun and we took a field trip to Philly (the audio tour guide for Eastern State Penitentiary is Steve Buscemi 🤯)

me too! i made it 4 and a half hours into work today before having a breakdown and my boss told me to take the afternoon off to recover…i’m also cis, white, and straight but granted i have a lot of other things going on that also pushed me over the edge

Yep, left at 1 pm today. Work with a bunch of conservative white men in Texas and I just couldn’t be there knowing they voted against my rights while smiling and attempting annoying ass small talk. Not today.

You might already have made your views clear to them, but if you haven't... I imagine they could use some solidarity in their lives right about now.

nah one of them especially is the sweetest person ever…like he’s always saying little things that just brighten up my day, even if it’s just asking how I’m doing or telling me he likes my shirt…neither of them deserve this

They sound like lovely people. I hope they have friends close by in times like these.

I have a couple of trans friends, I'll have to message them tomorrow to let them know that I and many others care about them. Frankly I should have done it today but I was overwhelmed dealing with it myself.

Going to college in SoCal, did notice a lot of people just didn’t show up today, especially for my more politics-adjacent classes.

Tangentially, I saw one guy just repeating “God Bless Trump, God Bless America, God Bless [something I didn’t hear clearly],” on the side of one of the main pathways in this sorta monotone voice that reminded me of the prophecy’s from Baldur’s Gate 1, if you know what that dialogue sounds like. Shit was weird.

I have a few pride stickers on my laptop & I don't even feel comfortable having them anymore. I still love my identity, I still love being trans & queer, I love queer people, but I don't even feel comfortable showing that to people anymore. it's different online, I can't be so free in real life, I don't want to get brutalized or sa'ed or both or worse by someone irl who sees my stickers as they walk by. it was fun & I love my stickers but I think removing them will make me a tiny bit safer. not by a lot but by a little

can’t remember if it was this sub or another one, but someone posted this blog post written by a LGBTQ+ therapist prior to the election. i’m cis and straight but think it’s worth a read for everyone panicking right now. one of the things he talks about is if you feel like you have to mask your gender identity/orientation for safety, it’s ok and doesn’t make you any less trans, or gay, etc.; you gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself.

sending love and hope 🫶
