For transgender people, now living in the United States amounts to living in enemy territory, and putting their agency to sleep, at least for the next four years. (www.ndtv.com)

Maybe two if enough people get off their asses and vote during the midterms.

Voting has limited utility when Democrats are willing to throw trans people under the bus to get "must pass" legislation through. Republicans just need to attach their trans extermination legislation to bills that fund the military or other key government functions, and the Dems will vote for it in large numbers. Biden just signed a bill that will kill several thousand children, and even lamented the anti-trans provision in it, as he just signed it anyway.

Yeah, it sucks when that happens; then if the Dems don't vote for it, it gets framed by the Republicans as they only care about LGBTQ issues.

edit: For what it's worth, have a look at this:

Democrats will lean on this tactic to take on Trump during his second term
