Had my first transphobia the other day, that was fun /s. Came out to a (now former) friend and he went on about how he was glad trump won and that it should be even harder to transition and teachers shouldn’t be allowed to mention any lgbt topics whatsoever. He knows transitioning reduces suicide rates too so it was hard not to take that as him telling me to kms. Had a look on his face like he thought it was funny. In better news though my mum has offered to try getting prescribed estradiol “for menopause” so that’s gonna make medicating easier while I’m waiting to be seen by a doctor
uhhhmm uhhmm yeahh, has totally been going great, no existential dread or anything :3
lol
Horrific, I fled the US a few weeks ago and things are getting worse here as well. I’m surrounded exclusively by transphobic far-right cishet white men. I was sent to an all boys school and it sucks here. Some new kid showed up who loudly declared that “Muslims don’t deserve rights”, the school administration is requiring I respect his opinion because apparently his opinion is respectable. Meanwhile all of my viewpoints are shut down as extremist (even when all I say is that dehumanizing and othering people is bad). I hate this country, I hate these people, and I hate this dark cruel world I live in.
I’ve spent a lot of the week crying. My heart is truly broken for my fellow trans people in the US who no longer feel safe. I feel like things here in the UK will not be so far behind in another five years or so.
