Wow, I got my first callout post, I'm so proud. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Man I guess I'm centre-right for being happy I don't have to die and getting pissed at other people for dismissing how much this means to those most marginalized in the United States. I don't want to ramble on off-topic situations, but this pertains exactly to this thread and how this is overwhelmingly good news. And no, I didn't say that someone that's bisexual isn't LGBT enough.
I want to reaffirm that; yes, if my icon didn't make it obvious enough, I'm trans. The amount of damage the transgender community has taken over the last four years is overwhelmingly
awful. We haven't been
dealing with the situation very well. I know a lot of fellow trans people that have been under an insane amount of duress for the past 4 years. All of this is
kind of a big deal. I don't think Biden is the perfect candidate, and I doubt anyone here does. We have lost so many of our
own kind to suicide, and even more of us have been plagued with thoughts of suicide.
Over the past four years, the world has become
more and more hostile towards transgender people. Not just in openly electing politicians that hate us, but by making it harder and harder for some of us to come out and safely get the medication that may save our lives. The ability to transition can be
so important for some of us that we resort to black market HRT drugs, even though we
know exactly how dangerous this shit is. TERFs have become
increasingly energized and we've been
dealing with constant vitriol about how we aren't actually women even from within our own community. How
many more of us have to die before we can celebrate our own lives being in less constant danger?
Not all trans people are necessarily happy with Biden, and I have no problem with those of us that aren't. But I think it's really ridiculous to start threadshitting and attacking people because
boy can't we just appreciate the fact that less of us might fuckin' die. Biden has shown great passion to support domestic transpeople, and I think that's wonderful.
