The uncertainty …. What’s happening right now is what’s really troubling.
+++ Vox 2 +++
00:25
I worry for kids who now have more access to resources than I had when I was young, but are facing more, louder backlash. 
00:36
+++ ATMO Aurora: +++
Generally speaking the way that all the politics are going I think there is a growing fear of across many people. 
00:43
VO: We meet Aurora and Laine ((the next day)), to learn more about their story. Aurora is visiting her girlfriend in her apartment. 
00:52
+++ ATMO Laine: +++
I've kind of known that I was trans for a good while.
Um, I think I first remember, you know, having the words to call myself trans when I was like fifteenish. For a long time, I just repressed myself and avoided it and went through cycles of hating myself.
I quietly, without telling anyone in my life, um, started hormones.
And I didn't really want to hide anymore. And it hurt every time that I had to talk to my Mom on the phone because it felt like I was, I was lying to her about everything.
It would bring me to tears. Like every time I talk to my mom.
01:31
+++ ATMO Aurora: +++
I have grown adults coming to me that I'm friends with that are in their mid-thirties who are terrified of starting hormones, scared that if they start hormones, um, that they will, um, that they won't be able to continue them after they started, that they'll that they'll go down this route of like finally accepting themselves, going down this route of being trans and accepting oneself in its entirety, telling other people, telling your word, only to end up not being able to get hormones. 
02:00
VO: The Trump administration is limiting access to hormones. What would happen if you would stop taking them?
02:08
+++ ATMO Laine: ((off-on)) +++
I went so many years (..) obsessing over the thought of testosterone in my blood.
And finally, when I was able to start, um, testosterone blockers and eventually estrogen.
I mean, it was a moment in which I saw color for the first time in my life.
Right? I actually feel emotions rather than just repressing them, and the thought of going back would be hellish.
02:33
VO: Why is Donald Trump so focused on trans people?
02:38
+++ ATMO Laine +++
There's really not a lot of, you know, pushback if you go after a group that makes up, you know, what, less than a percent, around a percent of the American population. And so it makes it an easy scapegoat for, um, politicians to rile people up on.
We try not to let that fear control us though. I'm going to understand that my fear is valid, but I'm also not going to let it change how I am, present and how I react to things. +++
03:08
VO: Laine and Aurora say giving up isn’t an option in Donald Trump’s regime of fear. They will continue to fight together for their place in the US.
