Trans folks, if you can, arm yourselves. Whether it’s a gun or a knife or pepper spray, stay safe. Don’t let the government walk all over you

I (transfem) want to fight back so bad regardless. I'm so tired of this fascist oligarchy predating on the lower classes and minorities (ESPECIALLY Israel). But there don't seem to be any good organizations to support

I do agree that people should have something to protect themselves, but I can’t stop thinking that’s a thin line to walk because we know that historically, oppressors use “they had a weapon” as a “valid” means to hurt an individual and get away with it. I believe if someone wants to do that, they should be able to, but you can’t discount the truth of how it constantly gets used against us. It’s so unfair. I feel it everyday as a black queer person.

Two things can be true at the same time. You can resist and fight injustice AND try to protect your own safety. But you can’t help anyone from the grave.

Agreed wholeheartedly, it’s a slippery slope but I think at the end of the day it’s an individual choice on the choice of protection. Regardless, some protection is needed. That’s why I listed more than just firearms
