It felt for a few years that things were looking up. No one really cared when I transitioned, people were largely supportive.

Since 2016 though, things have been in a rapid decline. I’m exhausted, I feel like I have a target on my back, and I’m terrified.

I want to move but the economy is crashing and I have some semblance of stable work now. Not enough to save for a move, not enough to get above water on the debt my ex left me, but enough that hopefully I’ll be able to keep paying rent and keep food in my fridge.

I just can’t imagine another three years of this.

I apologize if this out of line or inappropriate, but I see you and my heart goes out to you and those in your position. You certainly don’t deserve to have to feel like this. Also, fuck your ex for screwing you over and leaving you in debt. That’s just fucked up.
