I'm getting The Surgery ™️ this coming summer, hoping I can stay ahead of the bigots' increasingly cruel laws. Donate to relevant causes if you can, protest, if a bigot happens to put their face in the way of a brick that's great too.

I have a bunch of extended family who are all insufferable and get way too personal when asking about my transness. I'm sick of it but I'll always repeat my lived experiences to them because I know if I don't they'll get their understanding of the topics from people who want to see me dead.

Who would have thought?? But in all seriousness, good to have data to battle misinformation. The number of detransitioners is also pretty low in comparison with the rate of discontent of any other non-trans-related operation/treatment you could undergo.

~Five percent of Lemmy are bigoted assholes. Pretty good numbers. Now, shove off, down voters.
