This broke my fucking heart, that poor girl. Transphobia is monstrous.
The cunt that wrote the letter should have her children taken away (clearly unable to raise them properly) and the people in charge of this org should resign. Those are the kindest words I could get myself to write about it.
You absolutely deserve connection with others, we all do. There's an expectation that you and I have that really hurts us and makes that hard to accept though. I wish I had more concrete or resonating advice to give. Honestly it was a lot of therapy and work just to get to where I am.
You deserve connection and you deserve love.
Are you me? Fuck.
The best I've got is to be more selfish and be okay with the idea that people and relationships are temporary. When a relationship feels like an event and not a forgone conclusion it doesn't hurt as bad when it ends. It also helped me with grounding myself and reinforcing that my emotions are not always mirrored and are not factual.
I can't think of a more NYT thing to publish. They're practically a tabloid now.
Snoop is nothing but problematic. He consistently chases money and punches down, including against his own community.

This headline reads like "kids these days can't get off their phones" as if the Boomers who wrote it aren't sending iPhone gift cards via Facebook messenger to a Nigerian prince.
Try to avoid writing any songs or singing, I fear you may be tone deaf.
"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human,"
I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.
