And older talk, but regrettably still very relevant to us, especially given recent events.

That was a really great talk, thank you. There were a few things in there I hadn’t even considered.

How trans people can have multiple passports/ citizenship in multiple countries, what to actually do to be prepared if you or a loved one are arrested for being trans, protesting, etc, and a lot of other things that take a few hours of work to do ahead of time that can turn life-destroying disasters into manageable problems your friends can solve.

The talk itself is mostly focused on things every single person should know and was given in 2022, but we do get a few mentions and a story about a trans person arrested on trumped up charges, but everything in there is worth knowing and Devient is always an interesting speaker.

Seriously, at the very least if you or a loved one are trans, start at 1:10:36 and do as much of the list as possible.
