« I worry that my existence, that my living in joy, in a state of grace, is “too woke” to be worth employing. I’m certain he wouldn’t be rude to my face, but he might quietly discriminate against me, say no thanks. He might not even think of it as discrimination, only that I don’t have what it takes. Whatever that means. »

Such a heartbreakingly beautiful piece by @phillmv. And one I relate to in many ways.

There are people commenting on Hacker News who cannot comprehend that kids can be (and know they are) transgender.

I have known to some extent since I was maybe five or six. I was suicidally/clinically depressed for most of my life since I was 12. Starting gender-affirming hormone therapy at 36 was long overdue and may have saved my life. Finding myself depression-free after 25 years has been amazing.

I know I am but another anecdatum, but Fuck This Noise.

@RaoOfPhysics

We exist.

Whatever they do, however hard they make it for us, we exist.

We have always existed and we always will exist.
