it me

point is, things are bad now, they're probably going to get worse, but they've been even worse than that. this is '00s stuff, the '90s and '80s were worse. we made a lot of gains that have to be fought through before we lose it all

- surgery being a pre-req for updating legal paperwork (was just starting to be able to get an ID with only a couple doctors notes in the state i lived in)
- "i wouldn't wish being trans on my worst enemy" as a common mood
other stuff im probably forgetting

- speaking of, the whole "schedule" of transition in the states requiring three months of therapy before you could even get a referral to an endo (though i hear tale this is still common elsewhere?)
- "have a new last name ready because you're going to want to disappear completely"

here ya go
