If you ever tough of ending your own life, but didn't do it. Congratulations, you outlived Charley Kirk. Keep going and you can outlive Trump, Musk and who said, even Shapiro.

Is it worded poorly?

Hi, trans woman here, you’re right, it’s just depressing as fuck.

This a meme I’d just sigh at and go “yeah…”

Saaaame. It really fucking sucks figuring out your true self just as fascism starts to rise again.
The variety of negative emotions I feel from this makes me want to shut this part away from me again. But Idk if I can do that again.
So now I get to think about:

How fem can I dress without risking too much of my safety? And how fem is too fem before I need to worry about using a public bathroom? Do I need to ask my friends to go to the bathroom with me now just to feel safe enough?
Fun times.

Fwiw, going to the bathroom with a group of friends is one of the pluses of living as a girl, and it's always been partly about safety but also about emotional support, so do that. Keep yourself safe and live long and prosper because fuck 'em.
