Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a brother.
He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.

@Gustodon Thank you for sharing that.
I knew someone, she seemed awkward, unhappy and just uncomfortable to be around...and then they had an "Ah HA!" moment, and morphed into someone who is strong, funny and hardworking, and now he is creating the life he always wanted.
I had this conversation with a relative the other day too, who also has a friend who metamorphosed into a new them.
I said to my family member, as an often depressed cisgendered person, dang I wish someone would bottle up that kind of joy!
Not that getting there for any of these people was easy but I'm SO glad they became their true selves and I will ALWAYS fight for that!

As a younger man, I had two baby boys. One of them was a quiet child who sometimes seemed unhappy for no reason.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a daughter, who is finally comfortable as the person she’d wanted to be her entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my daughter. I’m here to say that’s not going to happen.

@mike_jones @ChristiJunior @Gustodon @cstross your son only became your "daughter" because you're a shitty fucking father who should be ashamed of himself for enabling pedo tranny groomers to coerce him, you fucking fag. You don't have a "daughter" you have a living, breathing example of your failure as a parent.

@ChristiJunior @Gustodon @Tweetfiction @thepurrspective I want people to be happy, but judging by the amount of tranny suicides and how much they affect normal human culture/society I'd say there is a pretty obvious net negative in positive emotion. That is to say nothing about the vast amount of gay men who were abused as kids or the lesbian rate of domestic violence. These people aren't happy.

Thanks for sharing. You would think people would want other people to be happy but this does not seem to be the case.

@Tweetfiction I'm glad it's helpful. I do it too much, but I look around at all this bigotry and I have to ask if it's really 2023, because we appear to be failing a lot of our own tests.

@Gustodon And this is why it matters. Thank you for sharing, Gus.

They are in pain because of society putting enormous pressure on them to conform to a pattern that doesn’t fit and treating them like shit. You are blaming the victims for their oppression here.
When trans people are not just tolerated but accepted by a family member or close friend, those suicide numbers go way down. And even more when a community supports them. And they are generally very happy in the spaces where they feel comfortable to be themselves.
As an openly queer small woman I am delighted to hang out with people where I can talk about myself and my interests freely. But put me in an environment where people are othering me, crowding me, and making nasty comments, and I’m miserable. (I live in a deep red state, there are plenty of people telling me I’m going to hell, and worse.) But going back in the closet isn’t an option, because pretending not to be fully myself is also terrible for my mental health.

@Gustodon So good to hear. I'm glad to learn of your brother and how much happier he is. All power to his (and your) elbow.
