i understand that having your place searched is part of renting but that does not make it any less triggering and anxiety-inducing
doesn't make it acceptable either, wishing all landlords a very jump off a cliff

a lot of LGBT+ people have a story like this. i want more queer stories like "i came out when I was three and my parents like to say they had two daughters born that year. i went on puberty blockers which are safe and reversible at 14, and estrogen at 18. i didn't have to be scared of losing my family, because they loved me unconditionally."
maybe that'll never happen. but you can do your part to make this dream a reality by "democratically voting" governor abbott out of tx.

so this will create a lot of abused kids. and i don't want anyone to go through what i went through.
i showed signs of gender dysphoria as early as 3, and had them all beaten out of me. my parents outright told me that they would be disappointed if i "grew up gay." i had identified as nonbinary by 14 and stayed closeted even to myself for the next 4 years, because i was scared i would lose my family.
now the state intends to force that fear onto even accepted queer folks.

and as an abuse survivor the idea that this is to "protect children" is laughable, the state has absolutely zero interest in protecting children and cps exists to keep families together. now they're going to start feeding trans kids into the already-falling apart foster care system that can't house the kids it already has? yeah that's bullshit. they can't enforce this even if it were somehow a good idea. plus, stopping someone from transitioning is traumatic...

...and just like last time he's desperately trying to appear as conservative as possible by hurting trans people, like a villain's henchman killing a cat to prove they're evil enough. it would be pathetic if the lives of real, living trans people weren't on the line. it also probably won't work because conservatives are mad about his (weak, but existent) covid response, not that he's too weak on trans people.
it's miserable and cynical and you should be mad as hell.

i'm too old for my family to be charged with child abuse for "letting" me be trans. however, i am concerned that this regulation could easly spread to psychiatric spaces, not to mention those of us incarcerated by the state. the fact that this is happening to children is an unspeakable atrocity for which there are no words but adults aren't safe either.
the motivation for anti-trans legislation is abbott's reelectability. he's been attacked from the right, as he has before... (1/?)
dear cis people: you cannot vote this problem out. the people who write these bills are not merely political opponents; they are actual fascists who want us to be completely eradicated. they are not abusing the system, they *are* the system; the system perpetuates and amplifies our suffering every day. if you care about the lives of trans people, you must accept that revolution is a necessity for us. trans rights must be protected with force.
