Trump Re-Election Sparks Trans Passport Panic Party
In a plot straight out of a dystopian memo, the day after Trump won his sequel presidency, trans folks scrambled to renew passports they didnât even need renewed yet â because why not? Erin Reed, a veteran trans writer tweeting confessions for $50 a pop since 2013, later watched visibility turn from celeb-date Laverne Cox gracing Time magazine in 2014 to Tucker Carlson declaring playground grooming conspiracies by 2021. Meanwhile, screenshots of trans essays lovingly archived by conservative archivists get to live forever in a Kafkaesque trophy case. Poor Katelyn Burns predicted in 2017 the terrifying future where even YouTube transition tips fall victim to capitalist ghost towns â itâs like Netflix but every pick is an empty channel.

When visibility turns into a doubling as a target practice manual for haters, maybe âbeing seenâ needs a rethink. Spoiler: Twitter deleting your account doesnât mean conservative failsafes wonât applaud your online existence forever.
Congrats to trans writers for making honest essays for $50, unintentionally funding their own digital arrest record archivists. Visibility: the new enrollment in the anti-trans hall of fame.
Imagine celebrating being 'seen' in 2014 only to learn youâre on a lifetime subscription for online harassment by 2025. Paid in tweets, archived forever by digital villains better than Netflix masterclasses.
