i know we’ve all seen a lot about it by now, and it’s hard to put your energy and effort into something that’s so horrible, especially for those of us who have to live the realities of these bigoted and hateful bills if they pass. but if you have the time, the energy, or the bandwidth to read what blair said, i think it’s really really well put.
here’s someone who got to “win the lotto” and have the money and support to transition, and i’m so glad she got to do that. watching her journey has brought me so much joy because i got to watch someone begin to thrive and present themselves the way they want to present. but look at her story—even for those of us who get that opportunity it’s still not often an easy road.
her journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s, but everyone’s journey is different. taking away this care that can save the lives of trans children, a group notorious for high rates of suicidal ideation, is something i can’t stand to think about without feeling terrified and sick to my stomach. this care should be normalized, not criminalized.
blair said it best: “i want trans people to have a future.” this isn’t a trivial matter. this is the lives of all of your trans friends, family, acquaintances—all of us will be affected by these laws and bills and bullshit. if you can stand to fight it, please do. if you have the energy to talk about it, don’t let people brush it under the rug. if you have the ability to uplift the trans people around you, listen to their stories and support them in a time where the world is trying to make them illegal, please, i’m begging you. stand up. do something. don’t let trans children, trans people, suffer through this alone.
don’t let transphobia win.
