Friends, the whole thing with trans erasure is very deeply sinister. Like, they're going to murder us level sinister.
Allies, you need to be super clear that you support trans rights. Your civic organisation, religious group, union, workplace - every organisation needs to be putting out messaging that you support trans people. Issue a statement. Speak from the pulpit. You can do this. It's ok to take initiative. Step back if a trans person wants to lead, but if they can't, you can. If you need help writing a statement, DM me. You can do this.
Put trans stickers on everything. You car, every surface in public spaces. Fly flags. Make support visible. Sew a patch on your jacket.
Put pronouns in your email signature, in your messaging app, in every profile. When you introduce yourself, say your pronouns.
Write letters to government officials, to your local newspaper, to every place that will print a letter. Thank officials doing the right thing.
Find out when demos are and show up. Organise a demo. Get some mates and a few flags and stand on a corner in your town's centre on a weekend afternoon, waving signs saying you support trans rights. You can just do this. You don't need trans people to organise this. You can just do it. Print out some leaflets from trans orgs and hand them to people.
Put a big banner on a freeway overpass.
Donate to trans rights groups. And to clinics that offer care. Give money to planned Parenthood and your city's free clinic.
Have you fantasised about what you would have done in a historical moment? This is that moment.
