Maybe this will be comforting for people wondering about fighting back and project 2025. as a lawyer I’ll say that legal organizations have been going to court for trans rights for several years in both blue and red states. fighting for access to gender affirming care for minors and for the incarcerated, pushing insurance companies to cover certain surgeries, helping with name change petitions and gender markers, etc. we do this every single day, we’re used to dealing with people that are super obstructionist and I would say we’re pretty good at it
I genuinely, deeply thank you, and I want you to know that the efforts of people like you have not gone unseen.
My mentality right now is "it'll be okay, but it'll be grueling" and this is exactly why. Idk if I've posted it here specifically, but I do know that the fights work. They have to be fought, but they do work, and we do best them back.
Sometimes I wish we didn't have to.
Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for everything else <3

i think the title implies a new revolution in America like how the first one started in 1776 and also the story is very much this is the good and bad of america, but specifically he focuses on how people in this america are nice if given the chance. I can't think of anybody in the story that's openly malicious. there's so much to think about this story man i love jon bois.
17776 is probably meant to be a commentary on americanism right
thanks spotify for the christopher walken jumpscare
"Death before Detransition" does not mean that I will kill myself if I can't access hormones or be referred to by my preferred language.
It means that there will always be another way. There will always be a stockpile, or distributors, or ways to synthesize the medicine we need. And even if that fails, there will always be community. There will always be identity. There will always be expression, and identity, or some piece of the trans experience, whether it be societal, physiological, or even completely internal, in perpetuity, that lives through every transgender person.
"Death before Detransition" means that the only way to erase my reality as a transgender woman is to put me in the ground.
We'll talk damage control and ways to help in the coming days and weeks. I welcome input on the topic as well- if there's a cause you want recognition for that will suffer under the new administration, let me know.
But for now, rest. Sleep. Take care of yourself.
I love you.
