    You aren’t alone. I came to terms being non binary after half a lifetime of denial during the election year. Nothing quite like coming to terms with yourself only to be told you don’t exist.

    I was on the waiting list for a therapist for months, finally got to see her and the clinic is suddenly forced to stop gender affirming care. I don’t know the details, something about funding. But Aaaargh!! On the bright side, my therapist is still happy to help, just that her hands are tied on HRT, but she can be creative to provide me support and care. Still not sure what I’m going to do, still trying to figure myself out

    I was kinda waiting for the election. And even then i was probably going to procrastinate until i could move a decent distance away from family/friends and people who know family/friends.

    Its kinda fucked when one of the biggest employers in the (red) state you live in is not only where you and one of your parents work, but also everyone knows them. EVERYONE.

    😬

    The silver lining is that now, every breath you take is in defiance of their wishes. Congratulations on joining the resistance!

      Daily reminder that armed minorities are harder to oppress.

      Make sure you train with it. It’s useless unless you know how to use it, and are ready to use it.

      Stay safe.

    Was waiting until I got out of college so my parents couldn’t pull their support as a retaliatory measure… Then all this happens during my last semester…
