Self defense in an increasingly scary world

It's scary out there. Every time you open your phone you are being inundated with news about how much worse things are getting for LGBT+ folks, especially trans ones. I would like to briefly state for the record that I firmly believe this method of delivering news is meant to scare you. The constant stream of worrying bad news is intended to make you feel hopeless and scared. I offer you a solution: Take your safety into your own hands.

  1. Where do I start?
  2. What is the best option for me?
  3. I don't want to use guns/they are difficult to obtain in my area
  4. Busting common gun myths
