  • As a trans Texan, I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that many of our highest ranking state politicians are extremely hostile to people in the LGBTQ+ community and actively want us gone one way or another. Wanting to believe the best in someone is fine in general, but know who you are advocating for. These people have a history which paints a very dystopian picture of their intentions and we don’t currently have a federal government willing to stop them. Do I think they are making literal “kill lists”? No, I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but this is a strongly indicative prelude to that extreme. If they are making a list of a group of minorities, it’s almost guaranteed it will be used for discriminatory (or flat out criminal) purposes.
