I’ve come across bad news that my home state has passed a really shitty law regarding trans people. Are there things I can do to help change this and all of the other shitty policies and attitudes at home?

    Realistically though who are you going to shoot and under what circumstances?

      Well, hopefully nobody, but it implies revolution: which again requires quite a bit of social organization but is something that does still happen around the world.

      Now, whenever this topic comes up the standard objection is that a group of private citizens couldn’t beat, say, the US military, but that’s not the point: you need to overthrow the government. If the military supports you (unlikely) or refuses to get involved (possible), this is a much more realistic proposition.
