I'm hope I'm not breaking any rules fouling up the trans mega thread with cissitude but I have a bunch of trans and otherwise queer people in my life who all are in really bad headspace right now, and they've all been venting to me because I am apparently the Politics Understander for them
Is there any boilerplate advice I should be giving them? Any insights from people a bit older than their 20s for the trans youngins who are terrified? It's becoming a real emotional burden for me to hear how scared some of these friends are and I'd like to have something to say to them from the experts
i think a general advice thread would be cool
I'm in a similar boat with some friends. I had to take a day off work to process this all and just try to fucking grill for just a little bit.
commenting to come back to, in a similar situation
Just because some of us aren't in our 20's anymore doesn't mean we know much more... so many of us also discovered we were trans during or after covid. But its not like trans people didn't exist in the US from 2016-2020 and we'll continue to be around.
Taking some action to feel more secure might help some? From things like firearm training, to community organizing, to getting a visa (or visas, if you can get a foreign one), etc
Oh I didn't mean to imply that it would be advice from veteran trans people over 30, just that since they are suffering from the worries and uncertainty that is youth on top of being trans, someone a little older might just have something to say with more personal maturity behind it
It kills me when all I can say back to them is "yeah that would be hard, damn"
