Is that what his drugs can do to you?

The PB ban was not based on science or care of children it was based on whatever the anti trans people in power want.

You look in the mirror and that person you are isn't there, just seeing someone that isn't worth caring about.
I have made peace that one day the trauma will consume me and I will be the one responsible for my death by taking my own life.

Going through a puberty that will send you further from the person you want to be it painful, you have no reason to continue, no reason to eat, no reason to go out, no reason to wash or look in the mirror.

My voice changed, hair started growing and my hairline receding, it was like the world only cared what you looked like to other people, as long as you looked normal on the outside it didn't matter you were dying on the inside.

Being subjected by a very misogynistic world that told me femininity was toxic and given testosterone injections as a child broke me.
When I started seeing the changes the injections did to my body I couldn't cope and couldn't find a reason to live and to this day carry that trauma.

I will always support trans children over what the government thinks is best.

I too have felt suicidal and have attempted at 15 by throwing myself in front of a speeding car but sadly my school bag took most of the impact and got out of the incident with no injuries what so ever.

Donald Trump hates immigrants but loves terrorists at this point.

All he had to do was change the definition of terrorism and convince his base "this is what terrorism is now".

They are just dumb enough to agree with him and the swamp he has refused to drain has flooded into the UK.

That was back when I weigned 51kg I am 56kg now so I put on a fair bit of weight since. This photo was taken a year ago, still can't believe I had curves like that 4 months into hrt and it wasn't even that big a dosage as I was slowly building up.

During my few days of infamy in anti trans circles giving me abuse.

I was bombarded by so much love after I got practically a shout out by @katymontgomerie.com someone who I was following since the early days of my transition it was also exciting that I was QT by someone not hating on me for once.

Found an old picture 4 months into HRT and I still can't believe my hips in this photo.

It looks like I got bigger hips here than I do now lol.

Could be the reason why they are pushing harder for Digital ID and more surveillance.

The UK and the US are so bizarre and going against everything it stood for I still believe Donald Trump and Keir Starmer are just filming a reboot of Dumb and Dumber.

But everyone thinks its real its like Dumb and Dumber cross with a reverse Truman show.

To sum up so everyone understands, so far it seems to be;

Democrat supporters are on Trump enemies list.

MAGA supporters are on the sex offenders list

Trump is on the Epstein list.

I know which list I prefer to be on.

Is it too late to be in the Trump enemies list.

Can I be on it if I am not American, or am I automatically on it for being trans.

Yes this quote is redone from the quote from The Wolf Among Us.

But its so perfectly captivates why I keep posting about trans rights.

So many trans youth has committed suicide due to closing health care facilities and hostile environments.

Of course I want to fight back.

Fuck the UK government.

Rachel Dempsey @racheldempsey.bsky.social · 2d

Trans people who commit suicide get forgotten all the time. The anti trans/terf movement are counting on that.

When we suffer, we do it in silence. And the world likes it that way.

We just fade. Like we never existed. I couldn't watch that happen to anyone else.

Before you say why am I letting JK Rowling "live in my head rent free", I am forced to as an act of defence, you don't know what terrible thing is going to happen and in which direction.

While Trans people are in hers because she just truly hates us for no reason.

I need to ask.

What is wrong with using an auto pen?

Its constantly brought up and it seems to be the only thing Trump supporters attack Biden for which is weird.

If its available, time saver and convenient why not use it from time to time.

I wonder if Elon Musk was involved in Netflix cancelling, The Ultimatum: Queer Love.

It is something he would do especially since he is going after Netflix.

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process.

They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills.

I was going for peritoneal as I never went through a full male puberty and have limited penile skin for inversion. Hopefully everything was well for you in the end.

I think peritoneal would be my choice due to lubrication.
