@mach suicide amongst trans kids and teens is already very high and states are not slowing down sadly. I hope someday they can learn to care about the mental sides to people.

@Agatha my fingers are crossed for her, I hope at some point she gets out. It certainly is hard to just pick up and leave!

@SweetandSalty the truth is they don't care. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted some transphobic note on her office door, right across from her colleague who has a trans child.

@BFBucky1 luckily I'm in Massachusetts, which is great towards the LGBTQ+ community. Sadly for some of these people it's hard to pick up and move. Between jobs, kids, money for selling and buying a house.

@mach gender affirming care is life saving. Many trans people suffer from sever gender dysphoria and at times it's too much for them to handle. This will cause a lot of trauma and pain to anyone it affects, and potentially death from suicide 😞

@stueytheround 100%

@ATXJane that is something I always hoped for, but sadly that hope is fading 😞

@Wolfman the politicians pushing these bills don't care! Well about anyone other than themselves

@see_the_sus I struggle with this too. Gender affirmation has been proven to save lives and they are taking it away. Yet they won't remove guns, they won't "force" people to stop drinking or smoking!

@Iskios I can't speak for all trans people but all I want to do is try and blend in and not be noticed and live my life the way I deserve, but they want the old traditional ways that died years ago

@SweetandSalty I wish these states and far right extremists thought that way 😞

@Agatha it's sad. All we want to do is just be ourselves but that is apparently too much to ask. You'd think society would have learned from the world's past history and not try and rewrite it.

Ugh another new bill in Oklahoma to force transgender people up to age 26 to medically detransition 😞

First it was the kids now they are telling adults that they can't make decisions for themselves.

This doesn't even include other states like Kentucky & Kansas that have bills filed to detransition up to 18 and 21 year olds

sigh 😞

Why is so hard to accept people for who they are and be nice, I just don't understand why being hurtful and hateful is all of sudden ok!

#trans #transawareness

@see_the_sus thanks 😊

Happy New Years everyone 😊😊😊 May your 2023 be better than last year!!!

@stueytheround 🤞 same to you of course 😁

Been an extremely looong week, but luckily I took tomorrow off. Hopefully I can recuperate and try to turn things around 😃

Reading through the process of changing my name and gender in MA...🤪 🤯

Overwhelming and expensive to say the least!!

@fpkthree Thanks and congrats to her, I bet she must be excited 😀
