Scared for the future and wellbeing of my entire community.
It's hard to sit with the heart break and pain of my home country treating me and people like me as if we are irrelevant and disposable.

The way is often hard, the path is never clear,

Ritual ceremony for late teens of a month of HRT for the other gender as an empathy building and egg screening exercise. Whatever is most medically appropriate to avoid long term side effects but demystify the experience.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
