super super fun being a trans person in australia rn having to fear for the safety of my trans friends who are able to be out on the streets protesting and organising even with covid and attending self defence collectives to protect themselves from being hate crimed more than they already have, all while doing what i can from isolation on top of dealing with the general trans disabled shit and then interacting with my cis friends who like. can't even be bothered to ask a simple how are you holding up or are you okay when literal homegrown nazis are advocating for the end of trans existence on the steps of state parliament and groups of religious fundamentalists are harassing people en masse in local queer suburbs with police protection. heaven forbid they actually try to help us in any meaningful way or even signal that they care at all

#there's something about watching your friends begin to opt out of politics as they start thinking it doesn't affect them personally that #sucks tbh. its so fucked up because while on the one hand the fact that i am nowhere near having the kind of financial independence #i would need even to start hormones is awful and really does a number on me rn i cant help but be grateful for the fact that i know i'm a #hell of a lot safer because i just look like a quirky alt cis woman to most people instead of a clocky gnc man #idk many feelings i have been exhausted lately so excuse the lack of activity and vent post ✌️ #dont even get me started on the fact that pretty much the only person i know who takes covid seriously anymore because i know i can't #risk pretending it doesnt affect me. i havent had meaningful physical contact in like two years its fine though im feeling really normal
