The Lemkin Institute for #Genocide Prevention has issued a new warning that the US is in the early stages of a genocide against #transgender people.
Leave now, even if it means a defective passport. Leave on a tourist visa. Do not delay.

@trans_rescue Irresponsible article by Walter Bragman, a sensationalist loudmouth opportunist who once endorsed Donald Trump and Ron Paul.
Bragman actually attacked Hillary Clinton, saying in 2016 that she was against gay marriage for years, but now "she’s wrapping herself in a rainbow flag". (He failed to mention that in 2000, she became the 1st First Lady in history to march at Pride.)
Not our ally, thanks. Trans people are fighters and this is our home.

The article is consistent with the message we've been putting out for a while anyway. If you remain in the USA you become one more person who needs rescue later when getting out is tougher.
If you are in a burning building, leave. If you are the fire department, have proper equipment and training and reduce the danger before entering the building.
@trans_rescue I do appreciate what you are attempting to do, in that some people do feel the need to leave. But the fact is, Trump is term-limited, and democracy in the US runs a lot deeper than you might think... certainly deep enough to beat anyone the Republicans might run, or to prevent the kind of total legal putsch you seem to envision.
We are not Weimar Germany. We have hundreds of years of democracy in our blood, and have a majority of people who share our beliefs. We should resist.
@KraftTea @trans_rescue Hundreds of years of imperialism in US blood. Speak for yourself. Some of us don't want to be killed over it.
@trans_rescue Will the Dutch asylum process honor these words?
