I give them a week before they decide to outlaw trans people in general.

I wouldn't doubt it, at this point.

Murdering children so old bigots don't have to learn anything that might make them uncomfortable. Madness.

I don't understand the whole transition thing but this doesn't seem right to me to do. What's next they going to outlaw LGBT, people with disabilities what stops them from doing this to other groups?

America, Land of the Free. Except if you are not a white, bible-thumping, radical Christian, then you are free to go fuck yourself and have to do what white, bible-thumping, radical Christians tell you to.

Remember the freedom to bear arms? It's there for this exact reason. I increasingly doubt that this is going to end any other way, as this country has been usurped by radical religious nutjobs since the 1950s at least.

Its been a long time since ''the people'' rising up would have actually beaten the government. Especially as, by the looks of it, only a certain part of ''the people'' would actually rise up because this sort of thing trends very well with a great many people.

TL;DR, remember the first episode of Serenity? Remember the fate of the brown coats?

To be pretentious and share a quote from Orwell:
“That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”
Yeah, all of this is definitely making me consider firearms ownership. I'm looking at the Ruger PCC, currently: common cart, manageable cart, common mags, simple build, usually priced under a grand, strong enough to put down most humanoids or smaller, and slips past most legal definitions of "assault weapon". Gonna wait until I'm living alone again before I really consider taking that step, though.

By the US government's own estimates if there were major unrest in more than 3-5 major american cities the army would not be able to reestablish order and that was before the massive recruitment shortfalls they are having now.

Might want to go with something in a 7.76mm or other full-power round, vests that stop 9mm or 5.56mm are popular with the would-be Sturmabteilung crowd
