Now, after Trump's remarks and his first day action of the presidential post, the group's crisis helpline is once again receiving a edge of calls. Basti percent of the calling calls this week tells the group Wired, transfrity and gender-nonconforming are 14 to 17 years of age from adolescents.
Calls are expressing different degrees of emotional and mental crisis, often expressing feelings of disappointment and fear. One of the most common feelings shared is “My country does not want me.”
While the actions of the Trump administration are creating huge crisis for the Trans community and their families, a harsh growth in attacks, both online and offline, are already coming from Trump supporters who feel.
Fisher says, “We have already seen an optic in hatred against us.” “We had someone who came to our house last Tuesday and kept a note in our mailbox that said: 'He is now your daddy, he is your president. You guys will no longer exist. 'So yes, they are definitely hugging. ,
A trans pride flag that was hanging on their porch, stolen twice in a week's space. A supermarket, in her local pygish vigli, she hears people on a adjacent table that she was so happy that Trump got rid of “trans”.
Fisher said, “He was not able to get rid of them, he is always going to be present – but he is a curse so he launched a goal at him, especially my teenage son,” Fisher said.
And attacks are also targeting groups that are trying to help the LGBTQ+ community.
Lance Preston, Executive Director of Rainbow Youth Project, said, “We have seen a lot of hatred.” “We are receiving a lot of messages, crazy nonsense, such as' Trump is your President, now all of you have to go away. We do not want you here. 'We meet in contact submission form every day, and since the election it has just increased rapidly. This is really sad. ,
Some activists are also concerned that those who are always standing with the LGBTQ+ community may be very afraid of speaking under Trump's new administration.
“Every time something happens, we are leaving behind and just shutting down,” Chris Cedarberg, which helps to give trans and penis non -renewed through the Rainbow Youth Project, tells Wired. “Not all of them, but do many of them because they are afraid of what is happening. They are afraid of what may happen to them or they can catch hatred for it.”
Sederberg, a trans man who works as a truck, communicates with young Trans people on social media and states that this week's response to the community has been one of the “acute, immediate fear”.
For the 40 -year -old teacher Jamie Anderson, who lives in Texas, his biggest fear is that Trump's administration forces his 15 -year -old daughter Don, who came out as Trans trans, to make a painful decision.
Anderson says, “My biggest concern is that she is going back to go back to live a lie, such as who she is, it's not.” “She is happy now, she is very happy before she came out. She was super depress. Love is a child.
