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.

The only way to fix America, like all stolen pieces of land pretending to be a legitimate nation, is to disband immediately and give it back to the original inhabitants.

How are your negotions going with the tribal leaders to enshrine gender rights into their new laws? Any tactical advice for the rest of the Lemmy diplomatic corps?
