Now, after Trump’s comment and his actions on the first day of his presidency, he receives a line to help the group crisis again a torrent of calls. Sixty -six percent of the calls this week, tells the Wire group of non -corresponding and gender teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17.
Supporters express varying degrees of emotional and mental distress, and often express feelings of despair and fear. One of the most common common feelings is “my country does not want to be present.”
While the Trump administration’s actions cause great distress to the transient community and their families, a flagrant increase in attacks, online and unconnected, already comes from Trump’s supporters who feel gathering.
“We have already seen an increase in hatred against us,” says Fisher. “We had someone who came to our house only last Tuesday and put a note in our mailbox, which said:” He is your father now, he is your president. O people will not be present anymore. So yes, I definitely encouraged. “
The transitory science that were hanging on their balcony was stolen twice within a week. In it in the local Wiggly, a supermarket, I heard people at a adjacent table talking about how happy they are Trump “got rid of” converted people.
“He did not get rid of them,” Fischer said.
The attacks also target groups trying to help LGBTQ+.
“We have seen a lot of hatred,” says Lance Preston, CEO of the rainbow youth project. “We have received a lot of messages, crashes, like” Trump is your boss, and now you must disappear. We do not want you here. We get communication models every day, and since the elections, they have grown significantly. It is really sad. “
Some activists are also anxious that those who have always stood with the LGBTQ+ community may be very afraid of speaking under the new Trump management.
“Every time something like this happens, we note that supporters are retreating and receiving calm,” Chris Sydrorg, who helps people who are not gender, through the rainbow youth project, tells. “Not all of them, but many of them do this because they are afraid of what happens. They are afraid of what may happen to them or they may hate.”
SEDERBURG, a passing man who works as a truck driver, is communicating with young social media and says this week’s response to society was “immediate fear”.
For Jimmy Anderson, a 40 -year -old teacher who lives in Texas, her greatest fear is that the Trump administration forces her 15 -year -old daughter Down, who came out of Trisk last year, to make a painful decision.
Anderson says: “The biggest thing that worries me is that she will have to return to living a lie, like not being supposed to be,” Anderson says. “She is now happy, she’s happier than she was before her exit. She was very depressed. We had no idea what was going on. Finally, she is completely new, amazing and loving.”
