In all honesty, I would look into Project 2025. Even though Trump claims he has no association with it, many of his associates have worked on it. In response to your question, he has been targeting the LGBTQ+ community for a long time, especially trans folk. I would not be surprised if he does revoke aspects of trans healthcare. I know it is worrisome, but I would suggest looking up some resources in my recent essay and encouraging you to research his policies. Trust in your community that we will continue to fight for your/our rights. The most important thing now is to offer support to our fellow friends and speak up. Let me know if you wish to talk further about it! Send a message or reply for any further questions! YWP will be here for you.
This made me cry as an aunt to my younger niece and nephew. You summed this feeling up perfectly. Growing up in these times of hardship can be especially concerning, especially watching young family members have to grow in this world. Know that she will always look to you for support, and your words will help save her. Remember to take care of yourself, as well. Your voice matters; this poem is a great example of how wonderful it can be. <3
Harris' quote will stick with me until I die. Your art is powerful, and I am so happy you recognize this. Continue creating and advocating, friend! You are not alone. Take care of yourself <3
I know I'm a little late for this so my apologies. I've been doing spoken word poetry for almost half a year and here is some of the best things I have been taught overall.
Watch some videos! Take notes on how people use their body language and their cadence in their voice! It can be helpful when crafting your own performance.
Do not be afraid to have a strong and loud voice! Sometimes people are timid, which is completely understandable, but allow your voice and language to carry into the crowd.
Write it down a few times in a notebook and put notes on where you want to pause, do certain actions, and how you want to use your voice!
It's kinda silly, but before every performance you should say "I'm a poet" as loud and strong as you can! It hypes me up and gives me the confidence I need to preform!
Good luck on your reading and any future ones! Hope this helped!

I don't know the answer to that question but I myself am a ally and I have some of the same fears. You are not alone.
