Remember, you're fighting someone who does not see you as being a real person.
Organize your risk assessment accordingly.

That's been one of the fun parts about this whole bullshit-
all my professional blue teaming skills?
Exact same thought processes, but setting "queer people" as the group to be defended, and it works out great.
Probably a pretty significant part of why I've not been panicking - this is just another defensive security situation; I know this, and I know that my skills work in these situations.

There's a lot of shit you can control, even when the overall environment is threatening.
And doing something agentic - something that derives from your knowledge, skills, and practices, that comes from within rather than being a reaction to something outside - makes for a much more settled mindstate.

@munin I had a similar experience in the Covid pandemic. A bunch of conspiracist anti-vax stickers appeared on lamp posts around town here. I took to tearing them off, or if stuck down too well I'd apply a marker pen. The next week I found someone else had got there with the marker before me, and a couple of weeks later they stopped appearing.
