Yeah I fully expect this to become normal for red states.
Probably gonna kill myself lol
Michigan isn't red. And don't fucking kill yourself. I'm an old cis white dude, and if I can help fight for your rights, the least you can do is stick around to enjoy them, right?
I'm terrible at pep talks but just don't fucking kill yourself. There is beauty in the world you have yet to experience, and you make the world a more wondrous and beautiful place just by existing.
I'm in Iowa and that's a red state these days. If they want to kill me I won't go quietly, but I'd definitely rather die than detransition.
There are other options. They might involve not staying in Iowa, but hell suicide means leaving Iowa, too, so you might as well try another state.
The Arab Spring all started with a suicide.
Just something to think about.
Of all the Iowans to kill why one of the victims?
🤔 😲
bitch just move.
There are better places.
And there are worse places.
Does it suck? yes. Do you have a choice? no.
Come hang out in Illinois. We’ll leave you alone.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: never kill yourself for something that's somebody else's fault.
Show depression that if it wants you dead it has to start shutting down your major organs like a REAL disease instead of hiding in your brain!
That’s what they want. Live your life to the fullest just to spite these motherfuckers.
If I could hug you over the internet I would. Unfortunately that's of exactly no help.
We would welcome you here in Washington.
If I manage to pay off my trailer before they issue my death sentence I'll try to move, but if I run out of time I'm not going to try and thread that needle. I'll just make sure it counts.
Our people have endured worse. They destroy our homes and livelihoods and push us to crime and professions of desperation. And yet we persist. From the Molly houses to the prostitute priestesses we have endured throughout history. And no law will stand between us and ourselves.
don't let them fucking win, you stay here and you fight godsdamnit
I think it might just be time to move bud. You’re in an escapesble situation. You don’t HAVE to stay and listen to their bullshit. You’re much much better than they are. Keep positive thoughts and you WILL get through it!
I'm still paying off my trailer, I can't just move without destroying my life anyway. My resume is unimpressive, I'm going into my mid 30s, I'd just be condemning myself to a life in homeless poverty.
same, no lol tho.
I hope things don’t get bad enough for you to feel like that’s the only option.
