      I have often struggled with my beliefs since then, with the "who keeps us safe? We keep us safe" mantras. Because I didn't see it. Because I streamed knowing 50,000 people were watching. Knowing that my wife was watching.

      Because no one showed up. I hadn't planned anything. I was surprised even to see the students. I thought I'd just be watching Richard Spencer give a speech. But we got surrounded and I realized that was it.

      There weren't a lot of faces I knew in that crowd. It was terrifyingly isolating. To see almost no one....

      I've watched my stream dozens of times since then. I listened to the hate I got. "Are you XX or XY?" "is that an open wound between your legs?" "you're not even a real woman"

      There was someone next to me. I still don't know who he is. He wore a PBS shirt. You know what hate he got? "PBS is fucking dead, yo"

      If you're cis, if you haven't experienced anti-trans violence, if you haven't studied our history, if you haven't wept over the memorial at Bebelplatz as I have, you don't understand how that's different.

      And so while hundreds of people, including many of my friends, had refuge, security, and shelter in the church, I saw exactly the face of cleansing violence. The church folks held onto their faith. I lost mine that night.

      I lost all belief that anyone--state or antifascist--would be not just able, but willing to keep me safe.

      do you feel like you can never be safe, or that you can only rely on yourself for it?

      I don't believe in safety anymore. I rely on myself to do as much as I can before I go. That's where I'm at now. And I can do a lot. And I am savvy and can survive.

          one thing, at least on events/actions, and preparing for them--one does not need to attend everything. trying to usually doesn't help with long-run suitability
