HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! i've received so much support from the transgender community throughout the years, and so I feel like I should give something back. but this time around, I think I'm going to get a little more specific.

trying to prove a point to the boys at school

The Supreme Court's Bostock ruling still protects transgender employees from workplace discrimination. The political landscape is always changing, so it feels like there's a ton of misinformation being spread to make trans workers feel helpless on the job.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
