Autism

You need to continue the search for the community you need, or in it's true absence after searching, build it yourself. I guarantee if you feel there is no community for you now, there are others feeling isolated too.

I'm not trivializing your experience or upcoming challenges, or saying something trite like "just smile bro". I'm saying community is life, and it is worth fighting for, searching for OR building.

Beyond that, maximize for the personal wellness topics that are possible for your health/life/limitations. Get outdoors. Engage in Positive hobbies like art or music. If possible, exercise. These things will not fix anything, or cure anything, but know that you are up against a wellness marathon, and you have to train to maintain your personal wellness in the face of these external hates/stresses. Whatever that means for you, engage in those positive habits.

If I were you, I would try to find a community of accepting and supportive people. I'm predicting that the hate is gonna get unleashed with the support of the government, which means it's time to organize quietly and protect each other.

I don't even live in the US and I'm asking myself the same question.

Try to leave the US if possible. This isn't going to be over in 4 years.

Well, first of all, if you are able, get out of there. If not, consider some things like:

• What kind of region do you live in? Could you move to a more progressive area at some point?
• Are you out? If so, who are you out to? Just closest family or friends? How likely do you think it is that someone could find out you're trans?

Build a community you can trust. Don't out yourself or anyone else. Find encrypted ways to communicate with others. Maximise your privacy. Plan for emergencies before they happen. Learn basic self defense and survival skills. Build a go-bag you can grab if you have to flee for any reason.

Above all, take care of yourself. In order to survive physically, you also have to survive mentally. Don't exhaust yourself with a constant flood of bad news. If you have safe people to be around, spend some time with them. Do silly things that give you joy.

Stay safe <3

Be the support you needed to make it as far as you did. Don't underestimate the power of your voice in a community, especially a newer one.

America will jerk back in 2 and 4 years, don't worry about that, it's the system working as intended.
