Depression and isolation in light of recent events

[sometimes_miss]

My question, for people on the forum, is how do you feel about the current spate of anti-trans (and anti-LGBT) action happening in various places around the US now?

I think it's great that we're finally getting a good idea of how many people that hate us are actually out there, and get to see which politicians are the horrible people we always suspected they were. Stuff coming up for votes, these hateful 'representitives of the people' now are showing themselves to all the world for the rotten, lying, bigoted jerks that they are. The down side? We're also having to face how many lunatics in the general population support all those people in power that would happily see us dead. It's one thing to read a random nasty post in a web page thread about lgbt rights; it's another, entirely, to see these elected officials making laws that can intentionally expose us to the wrath of people who want us dead.
