Trans girl with anxiety, rejection, and guilt issues.
Dems vs Republicans:
Biden does student loan forgiveness, then SCOTUS says no, then Biden gives up loan forgiveness
Trump does ICE kidnapping; Courts say respect habeus corpus, Trump then sends people to random countries in defiance.

I’ve heard many posts like this before. They all seem to say that democrats are failing, losing the long fight, being weak etc
What do you want them to do? Without the numbers they are nearly as powerless as any other bystander.
Being patient &Voting in democratic candidates is the only solution.

Look, I get she's trying to sort of suggest that culture war drivel is nonstarter like it could be in, like, the 90s and 00s, but it's as serious as Dems treat it seriously to vote on.

If there’s anything you can do to support trans youth in Alberta right now, start by supporting their recall campaigns against UCP MLAs. They’ve used the same tactics to kill teacher’s bargaining rights. They’ve now used it for trans kids. And they won’t stop there.

So, I'm gonna post through this statement. Nothing Jael wrote is wrong/bad/insulting but obviously this speculation has A LOT of thoughts in my head

Doing my own, private contribution to discourse around "it's never too late to transition"
Partly this is as much me working through how my transition has gone as well.
I wanna say, it's true it's never too late to transition. I also recognize the sort of obstacles we see to face doing that

Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

Katherine Cross is so smart
I took on the mythology of the "Kamala is for they/them" ad. Since the morning after the 2024 election, trans people have been scapegoated for Harris' loss, with that infamous ad at the centre of recriminations.
But a deeper analysis shows that voters are largely indifferent to trans people.
