Just had to tell my mom to never call me again.

She keeps misgendering me. Then apologizing. I told her to try harder. She then said that "look, my beliefs are different than yours."

So I told her to stop calling me and I think I'm cutting her off. :-/
Its been 3 years.

She keeps trying to say she's "trying" but I know she's not and when I confronted her about it, she defaulted to "my beliefs are different," not "I will try harder."

She's never going to gender me properly and I can't stand being dragged back.
Whelp, I let her know I am having GRS next month.

Because why not just lay all the cards on the table.
Why are there always a few people to jump in and play devils advocate for my family?

As if I haven’t tried playing devils advocate for them myself the last 3 years.

I asked my mom if she would EVER get it right and all she said was “I don’t know. My beliefs are different.”
Anyway. I'm having gender reassignment surgery in three weeks. I have a little bit more to raise. If y'all can pitch in, I'd mega appreciate it. I've had to raise my goal by about $3500 to cover stay at the recovery center, supplies, pet sitting.

Hey y'all!

So, trans kids are under attack. Last year I got the idea to purchase and promote girl scout cookies from trans/non-binary girl scouts.

This year, I have two! Zero and Madilyn. I will post links separately. If you have a trans scout, feel free to post here as well!
Here is Zero's scout cookie link. They have 192 of 400 cookie packages left to go as of the time I'm writing this!

Here is Madilyn's link! They have 300/300 cookie packages left to go as of the time I'm writing this!

It sucks to have sat here all last year knowing exactly what was coming as soon as 2022 hit in terms of anti-trans legislation while feeling powerless to stop it.

Cis allies, now is where you need to show you're true allies to us.

We're drowning and being thrown cinder blocks.
In just 24 hours, we have been subject to so many bills seeking to ban our existence, remove us from public space, and detransition us...

Indiana wants to make it illegal for us to enter restrooms:

Indiana also wants to protect parents who misgender their kids:

West Virginia becomes the 7th state to propose a law to detransition trans teens and jail doctors that give them the lifesaving care they need. WV HB2171 would make kids, many whom are stealth and nobody knows they are trans, go through the wrong puberty in front of their peers.
This care is LIFESAVING for trans youth. A new study last week showed this reduces their suicide rates by 40%. 600 trans kids who did not get this care attempted suicide in a single study.

These are our children!

Please contact the sponsors of this legislation, and if you live their, your local reps:

Oh honey.
It gets better...

Good news though, our friend seems to have come to the exact realization we knew they would later in the thread.
To any "cis" friends wandering in:

- Cis people don't get jealous of trans people for being to be their gender.

- No, not every cis person wishes they can be another gender.

- The only req for being trans is wanting to be a dif gender from what you were assigned at birth.

Florida is seeking to medically detransition trans teens forcibly. Florida bill H0211 makes it a crime for a physician to provide lifesaving transgender care to trans youth. This bill will massively increase trans suicides if passed. CONTACT YOUR REPS! Trans kids matter.
This is the largest state proposing such a bill. Here is the bill full text, and here is the bill's sponsor. CONTACT THEM and your reps!

Transition care for trans teens is LIFESAVING. A study last month showed that over 600 teens in a single study attempted suicide when withheld this treatment.

The hits don't stop on anti trans legislation tonight.

Indiana SB-0034 seeks to detransition ALL trans teens, and jail doctors. Any doctor providing HRT or blockers to teens is set to be thrown in jail with a class 6 felony. This is medically necessary, lifesaving treatment.
Sickeningly, this bill groups medically necessary treatment with other barbaric forms of treatment such as "piercing a child's fingers with needles" and "administering electric shocks to their genitals."
Full text of IN SB0034 is here:
