Yeah, that's the prime sign. Everyone who's trans and does not have ideations should buy a firearm right this instant before they can't.
Remember, kids: do not let them take you quietly.

I appreciate the qualifier of not having ideation. I’m not trans but I do have suicidal ideation and decided that gun ownership would be a bad idea.
Edit: gun ownership for me would be a bad idea.
Yeah, one cannot defend themselves from external threats if they can't defend themselves from their own brain. But you can always push a friend who doesn't have any ideations to defend you if necessary.
I have a few folks who have my back, and I carry an IFAK with me in case I need to render aid to someone who is hurt.
That's the spirit.
Good on you! Every team needs a medic.
I'm in the same boat. These days I feel like it's mostly under control but occasionally a bad day happens and if I had the means ... Well, it doesn't take much effort to pull a trigger and I know it.
I've decided the best way I can support and help should violence erupt is to cultivate other skills, like learning some EMS skills or having a garden. Still learning but I think those things might ultimately be more helpful than the gun anyway.
Yeah, it’s better now for me than a few years ago but I still have those thoughts from time to time.
Right, but nothing about the other 20+ shootings that were done by white men. Those guys can have as many guns as they want.
20+? We’ve had 156 this year alone.
First they came for the trans people...
Surely the NRA will take a principled stand against this, any minute now…
From another article I read here on Lemmy, it seems they're against it
Yeah, I saw that a day after posting my comment. I’m genuinely surprised.
Called it. :(
From their cold, trans hands.
