Basically, the complete breakdown of forces of the state to maintain any kind of order in that situation made me realize that if we had that level of political violence pent up in America, that I was very likely going to become a target.

So I have two pistols and one, two, three, four AR-style rifles.

I have been absolutely terrified.

I'm fortunate enough to have the financial privilege to start the process for getting out, getting out of the country.

We kind of realized that in order to do this, the amount of effort that the DOJ would have to go through would be kind of enormous.

The NRA came out and said, we may not like trans people having guns, but we are not, you know, we are opposed to the federal government stripping guns away from any particular, any non-criminal offense.

I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't necessarily expect them to come out with a statement like,

I think it was very important.

I am feeling significantly better, significantly more positive.

It is people getting activated and getting out of their little helpless cages.

For a long time, I felt like the American populace was basically asleep and was not going to do anything.

And it was just going to sort of silently roll over and let fascism come along.

Dana, we're in the heart of Minneapolis.

We're here on East 35th and Portland Avenue.

And let me show you first, I'll show you who's on scene.

That is Mayor Jacob Fry.

He's the mayor of Minneapolis.

To the side here on the left side of your screen, that is Police Chief Brian O'Hara.

There is an enormous law enforcement presence here from multiple different jurisdictions.
