Hey y'all. I can't escape transphobia, anywhere I look. It's impossible to stay informed about what's going on and not see it. I've even been trying to actively avoid it the last few days, but it's all I see anyway. I'm losing hope. I'm scared. I'm REALLY scared. It's all anyone is talking about, anywhere I go online. I'm so tired of it. They use the same arguments over and over again, to deny us our most basic rights. We're predators, or we're indoctrinating their children, this and that... But it's not even true. It's weighing on me so much, because I'm scared not just for my safety, but for the safety of our community as a whole. What they just did in Missouri is despicable. What they're doing in Florida, in Tennessee, and how every state seems to just be following suit? I think if I didn't have people that loved me, I'd just end myself, I'm really at that point. I can't take it. I really can't take it anymore. I just want to live, and have peace, and it's impossible when my mere existence is the debate of the day every fucking day. I think this has to be the saddest, and most hopeless I've ever felt.
