A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

Are you concerned about the trends of anti-trans incitement to violence? (lemmy.world)

There was a growing pattern of Influential conservatives blaming trans people for mass shootings. This trend seems to be as recent as August 28th or 2 weeks ago.

With charlie kirk's death, and people speculating he was killed by a trans person, it seems like that's going to further incite and escalate things. For example, Jesse Waters eluded that trans shooters were attacking conservatives, especially Trump & Charlie, effectively inciting violence to LGBTQ people.

In my personal opinon, I'd say avoid LGBT centers, parades, crowds. Staying home is a safe option, avoid being openly queer in public areas. That's my two cents. It's not a safe time right now.

I am concerned, but I don't like hiding and shrinking community. If you know fewer allies and other queer folks, whose going to support you if the state or your neighbors decide to escalate? And the best indicator for allies is knowing queer people iirc.

So how do we do that work safely? I think staying and traveling with a group is a start; be in a crowd. Even our more dire shootings don't injure or kill even a fraction of a parade, larger group means the average risk drops.

It's also, as so often is the case these days, an important time for non-queer allies to show up and be visible.
