Quit it with the "Let's Put the T First" allyship
As a trans woman, I don't give a fuck where the T is. I don't care about an acronym, I care about not being SA'd to dysphoric death in men's prisons.
If you are ally, one of the best things you can do in this moment is do anything and everything you can do to get your trans siblings a valid passport. Help them flee. Help them with a travel plan. Discuss contingencies. Hug them. Spend time with them while you still can.
But stop wasting time on this trivial bullshit. Verbal validation and acronyms mean nothing at this point. If you want to help, DO SOMETHING.
Edit: Any trans people please leave a comment if there is anything you can think of that would actually help you. Let's get a list of what actions we can take that would truly make a difference.
