the staggering amount of ignorance, hate, and general transphobia that dominates social media sites, forums, and even the comments section of my local news paper. It enrages me, and makes me want to do something, to fight....
...but I am so tired. I've fought all my life already for the freedom to practice a non-christian religion. I just don;t know if I have it in me to fight another battle. I just want to live a happy life as the person I was meant to be, but I can't just sit by and watch while these people spew their ignorance and hate and fight against things like EQUALITY and HAPPINESS.
I want to shop for shoes, and play with cosmetics, and sing at the top of my voice, and go on dates, and dance, and just LIVE.
But women like me are getting killed, harassed...targeted for nothing other than existing! I can't turn my back on that. I can't just go on being self absorbed and pretend it's not happening.
Not if I can help in some way.
