People ask how to show their support for people who will be hurt by Trump's policies.
They want something simple, like wearing a safety pin or rebroadcasting a meme that says "You're safe with me."
Here's the problem: Anything with no *cost* can be imitated by those who want gay, trans, mixed-race, immigrants, or whatever other group of people to come out of hiding so they can be attacked.
I don't post memes here saying that my feed is safe for trans people because it might not be safe. The Fediverse is public. Someone with bad intentions can follow who I follow and find a lot of people they would really like to attack. I can't do anything about that.
How can you be trusted? Act. Show up. Make sure gay people, trans people, immigrants, et cetera are protected. Pay the cost.
It's worth the cost for a better world.
