I had two friends get angry at me (in one case yelling at me, the other storming out of our get together) when I brought up the new regime’s plan to end affirming care and legal recognition for trans folks.
I’m kind of utterly floored - this is widely available information, and in both cases, they were completely dismissive and outright hostile. And both are folks I’ve known for a pretty long time. One is even a trans woman (albeit a rich Caitlyn Jenner type who is totally divorced from what most trans folks experience).
It was a really awful way to end the first vacation I’ve had in years. Icing on the cake is I’m also having some kind of allergic reaction and my face looks awful.
