I just realized that I'm posting political content on here without anyone being able to know my bias. I figure it's time for an introduction. I'm AJ. I'm a trans, poly, lesbian who as of yet (June 2026) hasn't been able to access HRT. (Pronouns are She/They) I do want HRT and bottom surgery, when I have the money. I've been going by AJ since before I knew my gender identity because when it was proposed to me that I could've gone by AJ when I was younger, I felt very attached to the idea of changing my name. That was sort of two-fold, I've come to realize. I was bullied horrifically as a child (likely for neurodivergence), and I felt *separate* from my name at the time. That said, I wouldn't mind a new, more feminine name once I am more "passing." I have known I was queer (rather, open to the fact that I was) for over two years, and I have known that I am trans for the past year. I was kicked out by my parents in May 2025 because they are conservative, and I was exploring non-christian religion and my queer identity. I have two younger siblings that I have not seen in more than a year. I am studying Maritime Studies, a liberal arts degree focused on coastal life. I just finished my first year in this major, and I had previously been an engineering major for two years. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, Severe Generalized Anxiety, Severe Social Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, and I also have (but have not been diagnosed with) Autism, OCD, and more that I am less comfortable sharing. I am white, and have not decided on religion yet except that I don't believe I'm monotheistic. I do not have any ties to my ancestry, and I do at times feel I'm missing out on cultural experience. I believe that radical change is required to make our society safe for the powerless. I have an opinion that if someone finds my beliefs problematic, they should inform me and give me resources to educate myself to the best of their ability or choose to not engage. I have personally left the alt-right (I was 18 at the time, it's how I was raised), and it was in no part because of how angry anyone else was, but how welcoming that others were. I DON'T think that's what I *deserved* per-say, but I believe that anything else is just more likely to drive a further divide and that only goes to serve the elites that want us divided. You can summarize this opinion as 'if you can be a safe space for de-escalating, do so, otherwise, don't spend your energy fueling the fire.' That said, your opinions are valid. Venting about that kind of thing is not inherently evil, it's just better done with friends or therapists. Anyhow, this has gotten a lot longer that I would've hoped, but now if anyone wants to comb through my profile to see my character and who I am, here you are. If you want to know more, just ask.

Also, partly because of the aforementioned assault, I am leaving the state of Texas. I need to get to somewhere that I can be trans and not be attacked for it. I need help, because I don't have much. Please visit my gofundme, and consider donating. Even just clicking the link and/or sharing will help boost it and be more visible to others who can donate. https://gofund.me/cf4839cba My messages and asks should be open, so if there's anything that would make you feel more comfortable with donating, don't hesitate to reach out.

I've recently created a GoFundMe because I need money to move out of Texas. You can see all of the details on the website, and my asks/messages should be open if you want any more info/ID. I have been kicked out of my home, assaulted, and more and I hope to get out of Texas in 6 months to a year. There's no way that I could save up enough to do that on my own, and I've had little luck with applying to other resources. So far, I've applied to Rainbow Railroad, but they cannot help people in the US who were born here relocate to another state. I've found numerous other sites, but few that offer more than information. I just finished applying to the transresistancenetwork's relocation program at transresistancenetwork.org/relocate.html, and I'm hopeful, but uncertain. https://gofund.me/c9eb178a7

Maybe those other terms don't exist because those other forms of discrimination don't center maleness as a 'justification' for discrimination. Maybe these words were made from root words put together. Maybe there's the type of, for instance, ableism that white people seem to encounter when they're trying to get diagnosed with autism and then the kind of ableism that poc in particular get faced with. Maybe we don't need to make a binary of everything, and in this case maleness is included in it's own new word bc it's relevant to this type of discrimination. Can we just start taking marginalized people at their word for their experiences and stop infighting.

We're all routinely denied housing, healthcare, and more. Fascists seem to hate us equally, if just in different ways. Just be good to people.
