I'm so tired of trying to be silenced

Last edited Fri Jan 27, 2023, 01:34 PM - Edit history (1)

So much anti trans legislation coming out this year. No way I'm throwing in the towel. But jesus with us being less than 1% Of the population. You wonder if anyone is gonna have our backs? Or allow us to be tossed to the wolves and properly taken to camps or other places to dispose of us.

Maybe I'm just sad and thinking the worst for our community. But lately its stressing me out badly. I have to leave my home every day with a gun strapped to my hip because I always feel today is the last time I will see my momma or my dog. This isn't how I wanted to feel. I believed after coming out I'd be happier. I'm not I'm far from it. I can't be me because 30% of our population wants me dead and what's stopping one unhinged person to just shoot me dead?

More and more I'd rather find a home job and just never leave my home. Just remain inside and get all my stuff delivered and only leave to see my doctor.

Edit
Sad it feels like nobody even cares...

So sad for you. There are bad people everywhere. Maybe find some friends online? Or move to place with like others?

Most don't care. Lack of caring for those who are in a small minority and then you see people are passive due to those issues of using certain restrooms and school sports where it hits a certain level where any side can take the opportunity to agree that it shouldn't happen. Then you finally feel you have no one looking out for you

I got your back and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. Hell, I’ve been alone before but I still got your back.

Hang tough, don’t let the shitheads get to you. At the end of the day they’re still shitheads and have to live in that shitty little world of theirs. Oh, they can make a lot of noise but more and more folks see them for the petty little shitheads they are.

Like mine. Where they can easily take away my care despite being an adult that is well past the age of 18 or 26.

But their stupid stunts aren’t sustainable long term. They willfully attack some of us while others cheer them on and all the while neglecting the general welfare of all. It’s not a successful long term strategy and bound to end badly.
Keep the faith and pass the Oreos.

Worst place I ever lived was in Texas. 15 months in El Paso was more than enough for me.
