If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns.

Fuck the republicans, but if you're only voting that's not going to help you when these shitheads get to the point of dragging people out of their houses and disappearing them. All my girlfriends are getting strapped and organizing self-defense.

Hell yeah, love to hear it, i just wish my mental health was sound enough to let me stay strapped. Sold all my firearms after my father took his life. If you or your girlfriends ever have ideations, please leave your arms with a trusted comrade.

Some of the biggest hurdles are having to interact with the police to even get a license to carry. Plus it's expensive. Plenty of people opt to just learn to shoot, borrowing from friends.
