A garden of secret dreams

I’m writing to you as an (ftm) trans minor who is honestly scared.

I live in the U.S., and the current state of politics is completely absurd. There have been 617 anti trans bills in 2024 alone, despite the fact that we make up at most 5% of the U.S. population.

The reason I am writing to you is to ask for support. I often see celebrities refuse to talk about trans rights or ignore the subject entirely, purely out of fear of public backlash. I hope you can understand that we are, quite frankly, under political attack from the right, and public backlash should be the least of anyone’s concern. Our entire identities are being politicized and demonized, and I think myself (and other trans people) really just need a moral boost to help us through this.

Thank you for your time.

Hang in there. I'm sorry this is happening, and I'm sorry that it's not easier for any of you.

If you can vote, vote for politicians who are less likely to support anti-trans legislation.

In the UK this reminds me so much of what happened in the 80s with Clause 28 and the demonization of Gay people under the guise of "supporting families".
