4 1/2 decades of "God is in play", "Pray away the gay", "That's elective. It's a choice.", etc. It's now here in 2022, in a blue state, that finally they're going to take this seriously and offer me help, with my insurance covering it.
So much pain and misery could've been avoided if I'd have started hormones 30 years ago, when I finally figured out what was so "weird" about me, and why I hated myself so much. Maybe my teenage years would've been less painful. Maybe my adulthood would've been more pleasant.
These assholes don't want to protect trans kids. They want to hurt them. The cruelty isn't a bug, it's a feature. The cruelty is the point. Whether it's Shelley Luther getting off on bullying them, or pushing them off the deep end, the only purpose of these bills is to see how much pain they can inflict upon "the others" - and there is no "others" they hate like they hate the trans community.
The only "children" they are trying to protect are themselves. People like Shay Shelnutt are overgrown brats and thugs who melt like the snowflakes they are when they see an LGBTQ - especially a T.
These aren't people, they're monsters. Only monsters hurt vulnerable kids.
It's time to face facts... We are now two nations. The Progressive States of America, and the Third-World Fascist Banana Republic of Murka. I'm sure you can guess which nation Alabama is in.
