Four days after Hitler became Chancellor, the Nazis burned all trans research in Berlin.
Trans was removed from public view in "an anti-transgender, government-wide, totalitarian form of censorship [...] implemented right now on the orders of an acting federal appointee"
We will continue to exist.

The shuttering of public health data about trans people at the same time they're banning health care and threatening doctors who support trans people means it's not just censorship (though it's certainly that). It's an attempt to hide the evidence.
Health Resources Vanish Following D.E.I. and Gender Orders
Vague federal directives have led to frantic action, and perhaps overreaction, before a Friday deadline.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
