I was about to post this in other communities that deal more directly with this, but this needs to be heard by America at large.
If you’ve ever wanted to watch a genuinely educational, profound, personal and touching video on YouTube, this is the one.
This makes me so sad and feels so true.
“We’re living in an age and a time where the very idea of kindness and decency is seen as something evil and vile, and something to be destroyed. The idea that communication, concession, and working together is a sin to be vanquished. That charity and decency is a weakness to be punished. That the more cruel that you can be is virtuous, the idea that giving fealty to your tribe is Honorable and doing anything decent and kind and good for someone who’s not in your tribe is a crime, and thinking for yourself is abhorrent. This is the is the country I’m living in right now.”

Is there a summary for those of us who hate watching videos?
It is a bit long but it is worth watching, because of the way she explains her circumstances.
But the TL;DR is: first she explains that the government mandate of two sexes only flies in the face of medical reality, then she says she’s effectively been disappeared by Trump’s executive order as a trans woman, and that if she ever goes to jail - which can happen just because she’s accused of something, because she’s on the wrong side of someone - it can mean a death sentence, or at least the very real possibility of being subjected to torture in a male prison, where she now would have to be incarcerated into. And then she explain how her life has been utterly fucked up by someone outing her decades ago, and it never stops, despite having lived all her life following the American dream of liberty and self reliance.
But really you should watch it. My blurb doesn’t do the video justice.
My brain won’t allow me to watch a video unless it’s a random 3am binge. Appreciate the summary.
