@404mediaco a great irony is that trans folk don't need to know this; they probably already do, but it's also too late - their info either is or isn't out there.
The people who need to know this are the bulk of the population, in hopes the masses might defend a group that's very obviously about to be oppressed.

@datum @404mediaco Absolutely. I think the best thing the masses can do in terms of protecting communities that are being targeted, including trans folk, is to start using encrypted comms like Signal and stop oversharing to social media so it doesn't look suspicious when vulnerable people are also using Signal and otherwise guarding their privacy to not be found out by the new Handmaid's Tale patrol.
