thank you and I really want to underscore that what is truly non-negotiable here for anyone one close to this issue - not just me, not just a trans kid, not just a questioning kid who isn't trans, and not just the parents or ex-husbands, ex-wives, the parents of adult trans folk and the kiddos of trans folk - but all of us - is that empathy, compassion and open-mindedness, a willingness to listen and understand it deeply needed. This shit is fucking painful (mostly because of the lack of those things).
I'll be brutally honest, I'm having a really hard time with the way the political climate has changed society the last 8-9 years. It's taking its toll. Every fucking day hurts.
Please remember that is not unique to me, that is what everyone who is truly close to this issue deals with right now.
(and lest I be seen as narrowly focused on my own lot in this life, the same goes for POC, I cannot imagine the pain, suffering and fear of those who are in the bullseye of the immigration terror)
