As a autistic trans person who has little to no ability to mask and the current “administration” we have in America. What is things I can do to survive it knowing that most places for community around me are not disability or autism friendly. At least not towards me.

    You need to continue the search for the community you need, or in it’s true absence after searching, build it yourself. I guarantee if you feel there is no community for you now, there are others feeling isolated too.

    I’m not trivializing your experience or upcoming challenges, or saying something trite like “just smile bro”. I’m saying community is life, and it is worth fighting for, searching for OR building.

    Beyond that, maximize for the personal wellness topics that are possible for your health/life/limitations. Get outdoors. Engage in Positive hobbies like art or music. If possible, exercise. These things will not fix anything, or cure anything, but know that you are up against a wellness marathon, and you have to train to maintain your personal wellness in the face of these external hates/stresses. Whatever that means for you, engage in those positive habits.
