WTF?! Post-Election Thoughts, Recovery Plans & What’s Next! | Live! with Fefe & Freddy

In this episode, we’re diving into practical steps and support options for those in the LGBTQ+ community who may feel uncertain or at risk in the current political climate. I recognize my privilege as a white, male, cis-assumed person and want to offer guidance for those who might be feeling vulnerable or unsure about essential updates to legal documents. Let's break it down:

  1. Legal Document Updates:

    • Name & Gender Marker Changes: For those who use a different name or present differently than their birth certificate, a legal name change can help avoid issues. ID updates may be inexpensive and can reduce future hassles.
    • Resources for Legal Changes: Many areas offer resources to assist with legal fees. Reach out if you need connections to local support.
    • ID & Passport Tips: If you've already changed your name, ensure your IDs are up-to-date, including state ID, driver’s license, Social Security card, and, if possible, your birth certificate. For travel, renewing your passport can provide a consistent form of ID for 10 years.
    • Healthcare and Legal Safeguards: If you're partnered, consider updating legal documents such as wills, power of attorney (POA), and living wills to protect your rights.
  2. Support Networks: Building a community of friends, family, and allies is critical. Though the current climate may feel harsher, we have a history of resilience. Let’s continue to thrive, support each other, and not give up the fight.

  3. Resource Numbers:

    • Trevor Project: 212-695-8650
    • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Dial 988
    • SAGE LGBTQ Elder Hotline: 1-877-360-5428
    • Trans Lifeline: 877-565-8860
    • LGBT National Youth Talkline: 800-246-7743

Political Updates:

  • Arizona: Abortion rights enshrined in the state constitution.
  • Delaware: Sarah McBride becomes the first openly trans Congress member.
  • California & Colorado: Voters remove same-sex marriage bans from state constitutions.
  • Maryland: Angela Alsobrooks becomes the first Black senator.
  • New Mexico: Former DACA recipient Cindy Nava wins a legislative seat.

Awareness Months:

  • Native American/Indigenous Peoples Month: Take time to engage respectfully with Indigenous communities and support Indigenous-led initiatives.
  • Trans Awareness Month: Get involved by supporting trans-led organizations, learning about trans issues, and being an active ally. Small actions can contribute to a more inclusive society.
