I was born in 1954. Same year Christine Jorgensen's autobiography was published. I do not blame my parents for the way I was raised. Nor do I blame the place I was raised (West Texas) for their ignorance. They really could not have known at that point in history. (Not likely anyway.) Some folks in SF, NY or Denmark would have known. But for me, it was like having a terrible infection 50 years before penicillin was discovered. Not their fault.
Today is very, very different. Now we know. Now we know there is treatment for the trans condition and that all people should have a choice whether to engage that treatment or not. To deny this treatment to children is child abuse, plain and simple. And the religionists and politicians striving to ban this essential health care are child abusers, plain and simple.
I couldn't start HRT until I was 32 and my heart breaks for trans children today who have so much more knowledge while also facing grotesque political attacks from the worst elements of the human species. Not a day goes by without wishing that I had access to the information and medical care I needed before I had to live my entire life morbidly depressed and miserable, and of course I still live with the damage caused by being forced to perform a gender incongruent with my own for nearly three decades. People like me may never have the privilege of being treated with basic dignity or respect, but we have to keep advocating for the next generation.
The government is the enemy of the people, never forget. Your rights in an oligarchy only exist to the extent that they are profitable to the true owners of this country, the ultra rich, and it is remarkably easy for the wealthy to use their media to convince the uneducated and gullible public to hate a marginalized group most have never even heard of before (because the GOP finally regressed abortion laws, the religious bigots needed a new target). Trans people will outlast the myth of the United States; we have always been here and will remain here long after all evil empires and their justifying mythologies have turned into dust. It is really nothing out of the ordinary for a shameless nation founded on tax evasion, enriched by slavery, expanded through genocide, and maintained by ruthless exploitation of millions of people to manufacture scapegoats out of the most victimized demographics - while exporting the hatred globally. The banality of evil incarnate, and it's about time to stop waiting for this flawed notion of a nation to grow a conscience and find solutions beyond it.
I like you am an aging trans-woman and queer. I had my GCS back in 1990 34-years ago this December and am feeling an incredible degree of betrayal . . . I recently told my therapist I could no longer see forward to the future . . . all I see is limbo, a cruel one at that. I suppose you could say I have been lucky having been able to experience my transition and live my life in happiness. I'd also say the future has been brutally stolen from our youth. What a waste! I'm angry and bitter, frustrated and incredibly sad.
That I have to fear, even in Germany, that transition will be harder for the trans kids in my daughter's age than for myself breaks my heart. I see them as pretty happy children now - pre puberty, just living their life.
They know what being trans is, they know their identity - and they might be forced through a horrible puberty. Which must be so much worse and terrifying than when you don't know what is wrong with you. Knowing there is help but it is being denied is so much worse.
Shit like this is why the normies and every day people are turning against us.
You should be 20 or older with a formal diagnosis and therapy under your belt before you're allowed to start any form of transition. The guard rails we had prior to 2018 allowed us to thrive and gain rights but then woke activists came along and decided to make the medical process of transitioning from one binary gender to the other into an identity and a fetish.
Guard rails and gatekeeping needs to make a comeback. Any less gives credibility to the right's claims that we're a bunch of groomers and predators.
It's the same kind of insane shit as the Non-binary and 87 gender ideologies which have set our movement back almost 100 years. And 6ft 2 men with beards in floral dresses and lipstick wanting to pee next to normal women in the women's room.
I don't blame women for feeling threatened, I don't want to pee next to a freakish non binary weirdo either. I'd probably even report the freak for it or leave out of protest.
If you have a penis you go to the mens, if you have a vagina you go to the womens. This should be simple day 1 shit. If you're not post op hold it or find a single seater. You don't like it? Too bad.
Stop all this woke shit before you fuck us legitimate trans-sexuals out of every gain we've ever made. .

I won’t stop fighting for my daughter and all of you “daughters of mine,” no matter your age or place on your journey. We still need and love you.
Ok Groomer.
Actual legitimate Trans-sexual spaces repost these articles and point and laugh at the lot of you.
We enjoy giving rope fuel to the reddit troons. :3
Blame the non binary freaks and wannabe fake confused women known as "transmen" for all of these set backs.
