trans lives in danger
Activists warn than the surge in legislation targeting #transgender youth (which looks far too coordinated to be anything but a conspiracy) puts the lives of those trans youth in danger https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transgender-rights-legislation-surge-youth-mental-health/

While surgeries are extremely rare for trans folk under 18, remember that this bill defines youth as people up to 21 years old. And it also denies people the puberty blockers that are used to allow trans youth to wait until they are adults to make educated decisions about their own health care. You can get drafted and die at 18, but the state wouldn't allow you to make decisions about your health care until 21.

First up, SB514: https://ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/Senate/PDF/S514v0.pdf
This would prohibit trans-affirming healthcare for people under 21. It would explicitly ban: (a) puberty blockers, which have been used successfully for years, often to delay precocious puberty in cis folk; (b) hormone replacement therapy; (c) top surgeries for trans masculine folks; (d) genital surgeries; and (e) oophrectomies.

I'm gonna go through the horrors now. If you live in NC and what I'm about to describe horrifies you, maybe write your legislators to oppose it (at the very least).

Don't think there's anyone who follows me who needs to hear this, but look, people with kids: if you try to control your child's gender expression like this, the absolute best case scenario is that they will move away, not give you any contact info, and never speak to you again. https://twitter.com/studentactivism/status/1379878025819480068

I guess, on a more fundamental level, the reason why I am very much opposed to the way the discourse had gone on Twitter is because it came from attitudes that have been forged by the right-hand path, the same way a lot of people end up falling into and embracing fascism. To them, it's all about cleansing impurities and enforcing karma on those who fall.
None of us in this system had ever been compatible with the right hand path, and in fact it had been a source of friction even within those groups I used to be a part of. Perhaps that was part of the reason why I had been able to eject myself so effectively from the groups once I have seen I was walking down the wrong path.
In any case, I've always been about exploring and finding our own shadows, embracing it and turning it into something that can help the world around us. We do not fear our past and the mistakes we've made, but we have learned and grown from it. And with our experience, we understood how even the best of us are susceptible into falling into abusive behaviour patterns, especially when we depend on a moral dogma to get where we are now.
