How are you dealing with all these new anti-trans/LGBTQ+ laws? (lemmy.ml)

There's been so many new laws passed across the US (and some other countries world wide as well), that makes it feel like even visiting another area is unsafe. I feel like I can't go anywhere without feeling like the entire state is out to get me.

I live in Florida, and I have no current plans to leave.

I'm lucky/privileged that the current set of laws don't affect me directly (or at least significantly), so I intend to stay as long as I can, so i can continue to protest and bring attention to these issues

I understand that things are fucked right now. If anyone feels they need to leave, i fully support them to do so. (Many of my friends have left for New York or Illinois,) I'm just not at that point myself yet.
