Firefox Quantum is awesome but the lack of a "create application shortcut" tool like Chrome and IE have is a dealbreaker for me. :(

transphobia, abuse, natalie 

& yeah, I just refuse to believe trans people are at a higher risk of having emotionally immature parents. I think it's that, emotionally immature parents react spectularly horrendously to trans kids, thus showing us that there's a hidden epidemic of emotionally immature parents

And yeah there's, complications because of society's rampant transphobia but also like. I just refuse to believe that well adjusted emotionally mature parents respond to their kid being trans by doing stuff like kicking them out or stealing their HRT meds or etc.

I don't think this applies to most parents in America, at all. But I think it's a much bigger problem than anyone is aware of and I think it's evidenced by the amount of parents who are willing to choose transphobia over their own children's well being and livelihood.

That type of abusive behavior, and yes whether you intend it to be or not stealing your trans kids hrt is abusive behavior, is kind of rampant and it's incredibly unsettling. There seem to be a hidden epidemic of parents who do not know how to react maturally to things.

I don't want to single Natalie's parents out here because it's a systemic issue with how children are valued in the US (By a sad number of parents, as investments). But, they stole her medication. This is public record. They literally stole her prescribed HRT meds from her.

You know this whole stuff brings up another thing. Not everyone is like, prepared to be a parent. Like, that's kind of an epidemic in this country. The normal response to finding out your kid is trans, even if you don't "get it" is, "okay, I still love you, how can I help?"

I had a talk with the funeral director earlier today and I couldn’t do a fucking thing because the laws in California don’t support it, even though Natalie had legally changed her name and I had fucking records of her very clearly preferring Natalie over her deadname.

There should be laws in EVERY SINGLE STATE preventing this from happening. NOBODY should be buried under their deadname in clothing they did not wear after they /committed suicide/ because of transphobia.

I’m exhausted. I am so so exhausted. I’m tired and exhausted and frustrated and angry my god am I angry but mostly I’m just worn out. I wish I would have though ahead more I wish there was something more I would have done. And I just, ugh. I should have gone down there with anyone else and been at the funeral and I just, ugh, I felt like there’s something more I could have done because it hit me a week or so before the funeral that what happened could be a possibility.
