I'm a combo of steaming angry and about to collapse into a weeping puddle over this nbc story about the trans teen in Idaho who challenged the state's bathroom and healthcare bans and told to her face she didn't matter by dozens of powerful adults. What you'd expect to happen exactly happened and I just I don't know what to do with all of this.
And I hate this, but the thing really, really got to me is that the article used a photo of her in cosplay as Noelle from Deltarune and she didn't even get to live to see the new chapter to come out. She didn't get to see this character she identified so heavily with have such a beautiful and happy moment of love and care. To see her speak openly about how she also struggled with mental health and wanted to "no longer be here" but was saved through love and I'm just. I don't know where to put these feelings.
Her family were forced to drop the lawsuits, because she died. And conservatives celebrated immediately.
How am I supposed to live in a society with these people? How do I make community with people that celebrate the death of children because it allows them to enact unspeakable evil on minorities?
I just don't know where to put all this grief and anger and sadness and rage. I just don't know.
