Your tenderness and grief is as much a gift to the world as your joy. Thank you so much for staying in the fight (for trans rights, and the fight to be alive, whole, and in touch with your humanity), and just as much as you have many eyes looking up to you, I hope you feel that you have many hands to support you and lift you up. ❤️‍🩹🫂

I have been feeling this too lately. Thank you for being honest—I think it actually helps me gauge that I’m not just “off” for some reason. This is the normal human way to feel.

Anyway, I’m sending out a virtual cis mom hug for any trans (or otherwise!) folk who need one. 💜

Thank you for sharing what you are feeling. You have built a brand of positivity, so I know admitting the constant attack on the trans community is getting you down. Please know you are loved and supported.

I have also been struggling, for several weeks now. It feels like everyone around me is fine, and I’m falling apart all alone.
