It's worth mentioning, I think, that the only reason we have to go through this constant exhausting effort to prove our worth to live in the world is because a small group of billionaires have ginned up a public hate campaign against us, as the spearhead of a movement to roll back social progress.
I cannot begin to imagine how absolutely exhausting it must be for trans people to have to continue to remind everyone that their intrinsic human right to live authentically and fully does not depend on the “approval” of anyone else
Is not only that but also lots of allies whose support was only base on out existence being quiet and non disturbing to them. They quickly sold out any camaraderie the moment it proved to hard to make the minimal effort required, just see the clusterfuck of last year, specially around certain game.
And this goes for queer and non queer allies, cis people I've seen would for the most part let us be hang by these billionare hate campaigns just to be allowed to play whatever game they want without feeling bad.
Doesn't help that in my country the general prosecutor of the republic, a gay man, has called trans people pedophiles and wishes to make us illegal. With each passing year I've lost lots of trust towards cis people's real willingness and care.
Being trans at this point just feels isolated.
I trust my friends as that is that... but random cis people on the street? Not so much nowdays.
And that fucking sucks.... and honestly is probably part of their whole plan to divide us.
