- Recent circumstances in the US have stirred up a lot of feelings in our community -- anger, sadness, worry. It's a justifiable response to the outcome as the LGBTQ+ community as a whole faces an uncertain future. With that in mind, we here at Trans Academy want to re-pledge our commitment towards our core objective we've had since we started - to bring about happiness and belonging.
Stay safe. We love you.
If you feel like you or someone you know may be in danger, we implore you to contact a crisis hotline.

Trans Lifeline’s Hotline is a peer support phone service run by trans people for our trans and questioning peers. Call if you need someone trans to talk to, even if you’re not in a crisis or if you’re not sure you’re trans.
When you call, you’ll speak to a trans/nonbinary peer operator
Full anonymity and confidentiality
No non-consensual active rescue (calling 911, emergency services, or law enforcement)

My boyfriend is one of the only people who knows I am trans. He is trans also, so he was immediately accepting and even went, "FINALLY, I have been able to tell for ages, but its your journey to make in your own way and I cant make those realisations for you." 😅
The egg directive, mhm. Sounds like you found a very good boyfriend. Congrats! 💛
omfg that's so sweet!!! I'm glad you have such an awesome boyfriend
Chances are with the news, I will be hanging out in the Trans Academy a loy more as I don't have much of a support network IRL. Thank you for being here for us at a time of need
At least online, we're never alone. And who knows, throughout the next few years we have the potential to build community, to build support initiatives... our salvation must come from whithin our community, and we're all in the same struggle.
I’m not trans but I heavily support the community! 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
Good luck to all my trans sibling out there.
We will not go gently into this good night.
The lgbtq movement is still the beginning.
We will fight and continue to fight.
It’ll be okay everyone. We’ll come back stronger. Marsha threw the first brick, and we won’t let this year’s pride be our last ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This right here!
🙏💙🏳🌈🏳⚧🟦
We're here, we're queer. Don't let anyone take that away from you or our community
Thank you everyone. You are all absolute beans
guys n gals if youre reading this, theres hope yet. several states are going to do their best to fight off whatever laws he tries passing, and theres even a very real chance he serves his ENTIRE presidency in a cell
My best friend came out to me back in May of 2023 and when she did I vowed to be there for her. In order to do so I worked against my own biases with my best friends help I learned to be a better person. While doing so me and my best friend have fallen in love about a year ago and she is now my girlfriend.
She has been through alot and kept who she is a secret the whole time up until she came out to me and for that I'm extremely proud of her for getting out of that cell she locked herself in for so long. She means everything to me and I mean everything to her. We have never been happier in despite of the recent election results.
Now I don't know what is going to happen and it is terrifying to think of what will. With that said my girl and me will never stop being happy no matter what. Nobody has control over our happiness only we do. Furthermore I will never let the world try and gas light my girl and me into believing that there is anything wrong with who my girl is or what we are doing is taboo. This so called country we have has no stones to throw when the people of this country are willing to bow down to a fascist and embrace his hateful rhetoric.
Whatever happens I know that it will be okay someday and that is exactly what my girl and I are going to make for ourselves being okay. That for me is enough to fight for my girlfriend is worth fighting for and I know in my heart that we will prevail. If we don't, well atleast I know that we fought a good fight and nobody will ever be able to make us bow down before them.
don't worry too much about the election, as you said it's not like they can influence your relationship or existence. also this era of anti trans laws seems more like a modern jim crow era which while horifically painful is ultimately unsustainable. it's hard to see things positively when you're living through them at the moment, but i know that when we look back on this time, we'll see that we were wrong to think that it would be devastating for our lives as a whole. the next four years are full of opportunity, regardless of the presidency. i wish you and your girlfriend the best ❤
As a cis ally, I don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry this has happened. I hope you all will be safe.
Please remember that you are valid and loved. 🏳️⚧️
I came out just under a year ago. I'm terrified I'll have to go back in the closet. I haven't been this scared since living in Darfur (yes, *THAT* Darfur). I'm afraid for my partner, for my child, and for what the future holds.
As we go into this long, dark night, at the edge of our hope, when all seems lost, all I can think is of those dark times. How many I lost. The scars on my body ache. The sleepless nights return. I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming.
To those who have never lived under authoritarianism, a word of advice: a guerrilla knows how to wait, in the shadows, biding our time. The gray man lives the longest, and if I may borrow a line from Juan Cortez, "revolutions are not won by the fearLESS, they are won by the FEARED."
So while I am terrified, while I am afraid of the things to come, I remind myself that courage isn't the absence of fear, but the assessment that something is more important than that fear. And so, once again, just like I did in Darfur... I wait. I bide my time. I organize. Our time will come. Maybe not this year. Maybe not next. But the midterms, assuming we have an election, are coming up.
Let's make it not a blue wave, but a blue *tsunami* that is such a mandate on authoritarianism, conservatism, right wing policies, rhetoric, and hate that we put their political careers on metaphorical pikes as a warning to the next TEN GENERATIONS that some actions come with too high a price. Then we can look at them as they're booed out of office and wave buhbye. Can we arrange that, my trans brothers and sisters?
Something tells me that what you speak of here has a high probability of being pulled off. Best of luck to all of us out there.
As someone who in fact, is not trans and identifies as red, I will absolutely do my part.
Solidaridad, minna!
As a silly trans accla from the islands of the Philippines, moi can only hope that moi trans siblings in the US, in colonial America, find strength in one another and find others more...
Moi can only hope that my trans siblings in the US/Turtle Island, find inspiration in the progressive struggles of LGBT folks and oppressed peoples in the Global South, like the struggling peoples of Palestinian being extincted by bombs made in the US and paid for by American tax dollars...
...that it is foolish to let people in power decide on the fates of so many, especially the marginalized and oppressed... and your crisis IS a chance, an opportunity to act together as communities and social movements and fight for change.
...that it's never too late to fight for change together with us trans sibling here outside of Empire!
Fighting for meaningful change for the betterment of trans folks and working-class folks is never more relevant than ever, right?
_Makibeki, huwag mashokot!_
(translated from bekispeak/bekimon [a queer argot-language here in the islands of the Philippines]: Join the struggle and slay, don't be afraid!)

I heard the news about the coup in the phillipines with your statist dictator
The phillipine people will be in my prayers
Vive la revolucion
@@amberharmsen2497 aaah maraming salamat sa iyong solidaridad, Amber-sensei! Makibeki!
@amberharmsen2497 aaah thank u Amber-sensei!
I actually posted a longer comment here that got deleted for some reason huhuhu... sorry for not retyping it!
The more recent dictator is Rodrigo Duterte and his War on Drugs that lead to many urban poor folks, including queer youths, suspected of being drug users and pushers, being killed... 10k-30k estimated toll...
Oh! Maybe Amber-sensei and Trans Academy and siblings in imperial US could get some learning from this documentary called "Call Her Ganda"?
Maybe a film showing for TDoR 2024?
It's about a trans Pinay / Filipina trans woman named Jennifer Laude who was murdered by a US Marine.
The US government kept interfering with the case for justice.
'gotta keep all our memories and joint struggles and care alive!

Am Trans and am valid and so does to everyone ❤
The road to fascism is lined with people who told you to stop overreacting
But in this case you are very much overreacting
Stay Strong we will get pass this together.
❤
Didn’t know you guys had a channel. Then again, I almost never visit so that tracks. Glad to have such an amazing group to be apart of.
thanks for this positivity, ost goes hard
To be honest I'm scared as someone who doesn't fit Trump's cookie cutter mode I'll probably be next 😞
I’ll bet you will be next😂
@@FIatts Villains always kick when the innocent are down.
@@FIatts Everyone's life is going to get worse- yours included. When that time comes, maybe you'll develop the sense to stand beside us not as an ally, but as a fellow human being.
We'll see you then.
@@EiGuardianOfEternity my life will get better once I know trans people are suffering under trumps administration
@@FIattsI’m assuming your Christian, just from that comment I know your not a very good one though. Because you use Christianity for hate. The Bible for hate. Jesus for hate. You should do some soul searching. Actually read the Bible maybe. And not a stupid trumpified version.
Make sure you have a passport, just in case. If you're of sound mind, look into getting armed and trained in safe and responsible handling.
Yes, yes I am. And some cute little online video will not change reality of life.
GAY HIGHSCHOOL IS REAL
Yes
I may not be trans, but i am non-binary (although i don't mind being called any pronoun as long as it is respectful) and Pansexual, my entire mom's side of the family knows this, but all of us LGBTQ+ people will get through this together, "united we stand, divided we fall", there may be hardship but we must have hope of better things to come
it will get as bad as possible given he won the majority of the supreme court justices which are lifelong posts so even after he's gone the new supreme court will make sure nothing can be undone as long as they are alive and all 5 of the 9 are very young for the post and ultraconservative.
it's over
America is over yes but you are not. Remember that they only win if you let them. The people of America have bowed down before a dictator because they are weak and only care about there selfish interests that they hold without even acknowledging the future or the country that they live in.
But that is neither here nor there what is important is that you carry on and never bow before a dictator. You owe yourself a happy life and regardless of what happens you are still in control of what makes you happy. No one has control over that but you.
im coping through the transpeak discord T~T
TOGETHER 💜
What's happening in the US?? Is everyone okay?? I'm from the UK.
Trump has won the elections, which has the risk of compromising all queer people's safety, as well as trans people's transitions
Alright, I'll give some clarification. Donald Trump won the US Presidency. On January 20th, he will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. This, in light terms, is really bad for those who don't fit the model of White, Straight, AMAB, Christian, and a Trump Supporter. Even I, someone who can pass for all but one of those, is in danger. We're all sharing a sense of hope, and preparing ourselves for the future.
Hope that clarified some things. Are things going better in the UK?
The election. The coming four years will hurt everyone, but primarily woman, black people, and lgbtq+ people. :(
Trump got elected
The guy who hates us and promises to hurt us won the presidency and congress in a landslide. Because egg prices were too high.
STAY STRONG EVERYONE, WE WILL NOT BE KEPT FROM BEING OURSELVES 🏳⚧💙
Moreover, you are not without power. Fight back. In any way you can. In every way you can. You are not their prey.
Thank you I am happy to a part of this community and I hope that it will stay like this
I'm gonna start hanging out there again❤
❤❤❤
Existence is resistance, please never give up 💜🏳⚧
