Definitely feeling the same in the UK. The same oligarch billionaire ‘s are using the same tactics everywhere they can and English speaking countries are a prime target as they can hit many at once. Definitely seen an emboldening of the gammons and bigots and a huge increase in the brazenness and vileness of the transphobia and transphobic posts popping up everywhere. Even from people who seemed progressive but now feel they can show their true colours. Some are even blaming transexuals for Trump winning , the least nasty saying it was because using “pronouns” and existing went too far , others much much worse.
Rest assured they want to do the same to any minority, they just believe it is open season on transgender people.
It is vile. The worst aspects of humanity are being rewarded and encouraged. Dangerous and dark times, right when we desperately need collaboration, co-operation and reason to prevail to give us any chance of stopping the climate catastrophe.

I agree some from the right will try to come for LGBTQIA+ people particularly trans people. We need to prepare, build communities, get active.
The Trans Justice Project are preparing to do just that.
