Pretty much the same as before the election. Life moves on.

It's easy to say that from a position of privilege. Unfortunately for a large chunk of the population, life is not the same.

I'm not accusing you of anything, you had no control over who you were born as. Just explaining as a reminder.

Not to mention, it's easy to say that before Inauguration Day. None of Trump's tyranny has had a chance to happen yet.

Definitely a good reminder!

You'll find out soon enough how well we're "moving on"

It's just kind of interesting to be asking the red states about this. Red states were already living in that kind of environment. I feel like it's the blue states that people should be asking this question to. I live in a red state. I hate the politics here but life isn't too much different than when I lived in a blue state. I am privileged to be cis tho, so I'd imagine if I were trans I would be terrified. I mean, I'm still a bit scared, but I am a bit of a lucky individual.
