    I get it and that sucks. But minor concessions are a lot better than being executed. In the west at least we can openly organize and agitate for better conditions. There is some repression but it could be a lot worse.

    I don’t think Trump has completely succeeded in rolling back lgbtq rights nor will he any time soon. A few decades ago being trans meant being a virtual social outcast. Today lots of trans and other queer people are well integrated into society, even if prejudice still exists. It’s a bad time right now because things are backsliding but this will pass and people are still organizing and pushing things forward, and I believe that momentum will eventually overcome the current repression. Keep fighting the good fight. I think voting against fascism is wise but the anarchists are right that we need to do a lot more than that too.
