I saw the news this week, and as a nonbinary/trans person living in the US, I was really hoping that the UK wouldn't follow. It hurts, it's sad, it's angering, it's scary. There have been 850+ anti-trans bills proposed/introduced (not all passed) across 50 states in 2025, according to Erin Reed (Erin in the Morning).
But the fact that we continue to live and thrive and write even in the US does give me hope and life as you mentioned in your post. We exist and have existed, and will continue to exist!
Thank you 💕 It’s such a disappointment having hoped my country wouldn’t follow, but understanding it almost definitely would.
I can only hope most of us find ways to take care of ourselves and each other. It’s a comfort knowing, historically and now, that victory in mutual advocacy, aid and care always happens. I hope the same for you.
