Yeah it's tough out here for folks. I'm just waiting for when they're going to stop covering my gender affirming care. Nothing yet, but it is inevitable. Your BIL is lucky to have you. I hope he's able to get the help that he needs <3

This is a really dark thing to say and I might delete it if it's too off base, but as a vet that decidedly does not support trump, I wonder if the ones that don't are too suicidal

It fucking does not and does everything in its power to stop kids from transitioning. No kid can just show up somewhere and be given hormones. No one is profiting off of selling hormones. They are dirt cheap. You're clearly getting your talking points from right wing media, maybe go listen to what actual trans kids have to say about their experiences and kindly shut the fuck up

Ah, that makes sense

He was also a horrible anti-semite

I'm surprised they even want to admit that it's real

As a trans person just one for one showing the exact depiction a conservative would use for us in your meme is not helpful and deeply offensive.

It wasn't commodified nearly to the extent it is now, so a large portion of it existed merely because of people's passion. There were no super sites of information like reddit, so people would create their own websites and forums dedicated to one subject. Forums still had their arguments, but it wasn't nearly as vitriolic as social media is now. Search really, really sucked until Google came along. Slow as balls.

True. It's like how they say they're going to make us healthier while deregulating literally everything
