I don't know if I can take much more
I'm a trans woman and seeing what's been going on lately in the news how we're being targeted so much being labeled as violent by so many... it just makes me feel so upset. I don't want to be constantly targeted for being trans, it's exhausting. I just want to leave my parents house and frankly I'm really thinking of leaving the country soon too. It's bad enough that I have to deal with my transphobic unsupportive parents, but now there are people who actively want me gone too... I'm just losing hope rn.

Hi Katie, sorry to hear what you’re going through. Echoing previous posts I just wanted to show support. You deserve to be treated fairly and equally. Wishing you the best 🌹
I'm with you, I'm also a Transwoman and I'm married to a Black woman. Even though my primary friend group is all queer/trans/nonbinary or legit serious allies I'm still very anxious about going out and being social. I had a half nightmare that included an old Cis dude watching me in a big public bathroom. It was all gender but the stall doors were small with big gaps and the guy had a policing look on his face liked Id be in trouble for existing. I don't feel safe around Cis men I don't know and any interaction with the police is a nightmare scenario for me.
I'm scared as all and abandoned hope a while back as a trauma response. But for action I'm just going to keep moving. I have to act like life will continue because it will fall apart on its own if I don't. I go to work, make dinner, etc. until something changes that way it's truly nothing I do ti make it fail.
