For some reason the most pessimistic voices always get boosted the most on social media. (Well, on my corner of Akkoma/Mastodon, that is.)
While, yes, there is a large anti-trans campaign going on in the US, and yes, it’s succeeding scarily often, it is failing just as often. The threat isn’t from a hateful majority, it’s from a minority in power. One way or another I believe it’s a losing battle for the bigots. We exist and nothing they can do will change that.

I would say that excessive pessimism is a rather common problem these days
