Putting trans people in camps won't look like you think it will: What to watch for under Trump

It's easy to say he will round us up and put us in camps. But it probably won't look like that. They probably won't be called "camps." It probably won't be called "rounding up." It will be more subtle than that. That subtlety makes it even more dangerous because it will be easier for cisgender people to miss it. They'll be affected too, though, so their awareness is critical for both us and themselves.

Oh wow, no camps? I'm just hearing this for the first time! What will he do then?

Under Trump, trans oppression may look like banning hormone replacement theory, followed by arresting those of us who try to obtain hormones anyway. It might look like requiring gender markers on IDs to match our s*x assigned at birth, and then charging those who continue to use the ID that matches our gender with fraud or perjury. It could also look like involuntary commitment to mental institutions. All of these, even if rarely enforced, create an environment of fear, where we always wonder when the next law or crackdown will come.
