Usually when I realize I'm dreaming and ask someone in the dream they just gaslight me and tell me I'm crazy 😭

That's fair, like he can still embrace his Kryptonian heritage without embracing it's negative aspects

If you're here, then you're here, papers or not. 'legally' or 'illegally'. You're a member of the community

There is literally zero justification. We shouldn't even be entertaining arguments about crime rates, welfare, and taxes. The fact we're even engaging with that is a concession we make due to where the overton window is at. But in reality there's no reason to deport. It's unjust, period

Like yes ik the counter-arguments about 1st & 2nd generations statistically doing less crime than ppl who've been here 4 more generations. That's completely true.
But my point is that even if it wasn't the case it doesn't justify deportation or being put in a camp. Those should never be on the table

I don't think you even see them as people if you believe narratives like that, & instead only see them as the narratives. No community is perfect, not your own & not others. We still all share this home regardless. If you exist here then you get to stay here, no exceptions. No 'crime' negates that

Pronouns, non-binary identities, not essentializing all aspects of gender to biology, it's all important. But I also still need ppl to understand that my sex is actually different now and not just as a label change, but that my body is literally different, inside and out

It makes me feel so isolated. I'm tired of everyone that tries to defend trans ppl having no idea what medical transition even is besides 'cutting your dick off'

And I'm especially tired of feeling like I can't criticize it without being seen as 'one of the bad ones' who's 'taking it too far'

If feels like they just expect me to do everything at once, which for the most part I'm good enough to do for a while but obv I'ma burn out and later into the shift I can't maintain the same momentum bruh.
'no excuses' fuck off

Like I'm sorry but most days my vision is literally hazy by the end of it and I'm severely dissociated and I do my best to maintain my performance despite that but I obviously can't help that and I'm not making shit up

I used to be seen as one of the best and most essential employees but now due to a handful of small idiotic policy changes, my weaknesses are being emphasized so much more and I'm starting to feel like it's all that ppl see

I feel like I just have to deal with all these super niche experiences all by myself even tho all of society is set up to force me to confront them constantly

We'll both be opening up about shit and it be fine, but as soon as I talk about those things specifically they check out or try to move on to something else. I'm tired of feeling like I'm crazy cuz no one can relate to me. It's so fucking isolating I can't stand it anymore
