I hope the looming threat you sense does not become reality and you are not affected. Alas, your fears are totally justified given the current circumstances.

I am right there with you Ev. The Fortune 500 company I work for does billions in revenue from the Federal government each year and I am very concerned that rules for government contractors will apply to my job. This stuff is so gross.

You nailed it. I'm an ally, and right now my queer family and I are doing "flee" to a blue state where we can regroup and fight in numbers. Since the gov has decided to hold onto my trans daughter's docs after sending back her passport with the wrong gender marker, we will be gone if they come knocking. I've always been able to rely on my "Spidey sense," and right now it's going off like a 5 alarm fire
