Yep. Another person crying sat reading this here too. However, these are also tears of gratitude and admiration. Thank you so much for the work that you're doing and for being out there and visible, particularly for this young guy. As a trans guy who transitioned over 25 years ago, When there was zero Internet or smartphones, or any social media. Today I feel like everyone's grandpa, even though I'm 49!!!
Everybody deserves to be seen. Everybody deserves to be acknowledged. I also hope you're receiving some hugs too.... You deserve to receive the same compassion and support that you're providing to others, because you can't pour from an empty cup. Sending you a big, virtual hug if you would like it, of course!😉😎⭐🙏
I meant for this post to have a second part, about how I am working through my own worthiness issues about deserving hugs and care myself…I’ll save it for another post. But thanks for the reminder. 🥰
You're more than welcome. I believe that we are each others mirror ⭐😎 Looking forward to your future posts! And thank you again for all of the content that you are creating. Stay safe and well, my friend.🙏
I cried. I, too, could use a hug. At 41, I’m still a mess. My heart breaks for every young trans person, no one should ever be ashamed or embarrassed about who they are. I want to live in a world where those young people are able to be themselves and feel the joy that brings. I will continue to be visibly queer, because I know how much it would have helped the younger version of me. Thank you for sharing and doing the work you do. 💜
Thanks for sharing this. It's so hard. So messed up.
I can't add anything to the conversation about the struggle that transgender teens, or folk in general, face in this country.
I did want to share something I wrote, though, about the legal side of this decision. My hope (which is a long shot, incredible, never-gonna-happen hope) is that one day a conservative reads it and changes their mind because of it, because I try to be neutral in discussing the law and non-aggressive when referencing the medical research that shows just how positive gender-affirming care can be.

Maybe at the very, very least it'll be an interesting thing to read.
Here's to the decision one day getting reversed!
