So, cis Americans, you're now living through the first day of a federal genocide against trans people, as defined by the Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide. As happens almost without exception unless stopped, it is both likely to proceed to mass murder and to expand to include additional social groups, possibly including you.
What are you going to do about this? Are you going to take up arms and fight to prevent your friends and neighbors from being murdered by the state? Are you going to harbor fugitives, get them medical care, and help them leave the country? Are you going to disrupt the function of state offices and destroy records to make their work impossible?
Or are you just going to hunker down and go along with what's asked of you, in hopes they don't get around to killing people like you? Are you, in other words, going to be a good Nazi?
If you think you're going to maybe go on a few big nonviolent protests and be angry on social media, like you did last time, but you know money is tight and you just started a new job and... congrats on failing to understand the situation and choosing to be a good Nazi.
History is unfortunately quite clear here. There are no other options left. Either you literally, physically fight this, or you collaborate.
If you think this is extreme, well, you've made your choice. See you in hell.

[Edit: So, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty and a lack of clear efficacy around TransRescue right now. I'm looking for alternate orgs to suggest, but there's nothing else in exactly that space.]
If you at all can, this is a really great time to donate or otherwise assist with...

@dymaxion The one that I know about that seems trustworthy is https://translifeline.org/donate.
Also looking forward to learning about others!

@stefan Yeah, they're great for in-country support, but they're not focused nor do I believe they touch getting folks out of country.

Would you mind, possibly in a DM, share some sources for this doubt? I want to know if I should retreat my current endorsement...

@winfriedtilanus Not stuff I can share, unfortunately, but a judgement call from folks I trust based on what they know. Which is not how I'd like to do something like this at all, but :shrug_akko:

This is about their operations in other parts of the world. I have not followed up if they substantially adressed the concerns. Take with the usual grain of salt.

We are proud of our work, and especially poud of how efficient we have been with donor funds. Do you have specifics? The internet clout game certainly attracts negative comments to any effective organization.
We are rather alone in helping trans people leave the USA. If you run us down at this time, and we get fewer out, are you going to be responsible for them?

@trans_rescue
I'd be happy to see any material that you have in terms of organizational transparency and monitoring and evaluation of efficacy. I'm relatively familiar with international NGO work, and these are the kind of things that organizations use to demonstrate to both the people they work with and current and potential donors the outcomes of the work they do.
