Hey this is for all you cis folks out there. Shits really bleak right now for trans people, and not just because of this whole reddit crap. Republicans are gearing up to pass some really heinous laws that do things like coercively de-transition trans kids, make being a trans teachers illegal, making it so that you cant legally change government docs documents, the list goes on and on. Things are really really really exhausting, and as much as many of us are big fighters, others of us are barely getting by both materially and emotionally. Like I am pretty materially comfortable and 2 years into my transition and even I am pretty worn out by the world, it is like 1000% worse for baby trans and trans people who aren't as lucky as me.

So I am asking you, if you yourselves have the mental and physical means, stand up for us in any way you can. Even if you cant do anything in the real world, if its just calling out shit and bullying transphobes online, every little bit helps make things easier. We need you comrades.

    imo if some trans people you know have it rough just let them know that if shit is fucked for them at some point, say youll let them crash on a couch or give them a really cheap room or something. i personally have helped a good number of people this way. i have like 3 couches with fold outs so people can take their pick. had one guy crash at our place for 2 months, was in a pseudo-homeless situation, and was able to afford top surgery from staying with us cause he had few expenses. dude sends me thank you boxes with cute little gifts in them like 5 times a year now that hes in a good spot
