I posted this in the Depression thread, but felt like it needed posting here, too.

Thank you for posting that. Given the situation right now I'm sure we have a couple of members who may need it.

I'm lucky that I'm still closeted and am in a safe state(for now) but I do fear for my fellow trans people who are in more dangerous situations.

As someone else pointed out in the Discord, none of those alternatives are encrypted at all and none are actually true privacy.

Had to disengage from a few trans online spaces. The doom and gloom at those places was doing a number on my mental health....

 

[MEDdMI]

Yeah... I can only take so much doom scrolling.

Presented without further comment for those who may be interested - check out Operation Blazing Sword.

Who We Are

Operation Blazing Sword is a grass-roots organization dedicated to helping everyone, but especially queer people, become responsible firearm owners. If you think you may need a firearm for armed self-defense but don’t feel comfortable going to a shooting range or a gun store by yourself, seek out any of our queer-friendly volunteer educators. They will teach you the basics of firearm safety, operation and ownership for no cost and without judgement for your race, gender, sexual orientation, biology, faith, or manner of dress.

I don't want the thread to derail with the political discussion, just offering an option for our current reality.

I don't trust myself with deadly weapons.. Heck, I barely trust myself with a 1 ton vehicle that I'm using for peaceful purposes.
