    I’m tired, boss.

    I’m tired of having to deal with being trans, I’m tired of living in a country hurtling towards fascism, I’m tired of having ‘elected’ ‘leaders’ that at best write strongly worded letters, and at worst actively support it. I’m tired of so many in the country being hateful bigots. I’m tired of fighting to get healthcare.

    It seems so hopeless, like, no one in power seems to be advocating for lgbt people. Prominent dem figures are out there platforming the trash. Censorship is coming down hard now, and the repubes are just…. Honky dory with it.

    All of this, and I still have my own shit to deal with, a job to keep healthcare, and be able to afford to eat, friends and family to try and help.

    It all feels hopeless, and I just don’t know what to do. Vote? Lmao. Fat load that’s done not to mention if we’re ever going to have another election.

    :(

      I hear you, and I’m so so sorry. I feel almost everything you wrote here and I’m not even trans, I can’t even imagine what y’all are feeling. I don’t know how to sound hopeful in this moment because i’m also feeling quite despondent, but all I know is all of my friends are trans and i’m ready to throw fucking hands to protect them. Y’all are one of the most beautiful parts of the entire human race, and these losers are just scared of you because they’re jealous of trans joy. They can’t imagine living so freely.
