How are you dealing with all these new anti-trans/LGBTQ+ laws? (lemmy.ml)

There's been so many new laws passed across the US (and some other countries world wide as well), that makes it feel like even visiting another area is unsafe. I feel like I can't go anywhere without feeling like the entire state is out to get me.

Aotearoa in general is pretty good - keep an eye on what happens here in the next six months ago. We're seeing the same rise in anti-trans disinformation that everywhere else is, unfortunately, and we have an election in October - some parties have already made gender an election issue.

I remain optimistic - I know the opposition is an absolutely tiny minority - and we're pretty good in terms of general inclusion and access to healthcare, but it'll be an interesting few months!
