LGBTQ+ AMERICANS STOCKPILE MEDS AND MAKE PLANS TO MOVE AFTER TRUMP’S WIN

Some LGBTQ+ people are anxiously preparing for what they fear will be a rollback
of their rights.

Zoei Montgomery, a 25-year-old transgender woman, is preparing for Donald
Trump’s second term by stockpiling medicines in case her access is cut off.

Zoei Montgomery is so nervous about President-elect Donald Trump’s second
presidency that she is making plans to escape to Canada if life in the United
States becomes intolerable for her as a transgender woman.

The middle school custodian fears the incoming president will follow the lead of
Republican governors who have restricted access to gender-affirming care and
made it illegal for people to change their gender markers on official documents.
