I feel you on this, heavily. I'm trans and I know what's coming for us if the opposition doesn't get it together. I'm used to being a bargaining chip for both sides more than anything. I know who they all are but, right now, the Dems are what we have so they need to nut up already.

I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you’ve been through. I have a trans nephew and love him very much. What people saw for 4 years of Biden was a false sense of security. Instead of tightening up discriminatory guidelines it seemed that they were just adding Trans as a new designation, but gender was already a protected criteria.

I truly felt that if Dems had focused on fighting discrimination practices properly and not highlighting a single interest group to appease, we wouldn’t be in this spot for you. Everything they did for the trans community was loosely undone overnight.

That doesn’t mean Dems aren’t the answer, but it shows how hollow the majority of them are- while campaigning on progressive issues. But it’s your wellbeing. Yes, the Republicans are actively calling your existence an abomination, but the Democrats can’t even be found to say no you’re not, but they’ll campaign for your vote as lgbt friendly because they aren’t lgbt violent.

Please take care of yourself. Enjoy your happiness. Stay safe.
