Question

Hey everyone.

Warning: Contains mentions of death, self harm, depression, & LGBTQIA+ topics.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a transgender kid in America (I'm nonbinary and gfluid), I am scared for my life. My country has proposed over 400+ anti trans and LGBTQIA+ bills in 2023 alone. I already suffer from depression and unaliving-myself thoughts, and I don't expect to live very long.

There have been bills passed (mainly in Florida) that legalize the kidnapping of trans kids. If I ever stop using this site out of the blue, then, well its self explanatory.

I'm from the northeastern US, so I am in a fairly safe state, but that doesn't stop me from fearing for my life. (I know I've already made posts about this, but ever day new bills are proposed and passed, and it just scares me. The death rate of trans KIDS in the US is going up slowly)

I'm either going to be killed or end myself. Neither are good, but that's what this country has done to me. I am going to move out of this country when I turn 18. I literally can't with this country.

You all don't have to respond to this. I probably wouldn't either (I wouldnt know what to say).

Thank you all for being my friends and for being such kind people all the time :)

Now I gotta go attempt to take a nap as my neighbors shoot off the loudest fireworks known to man-

Answer 2

Okay, mate, I don't know where you're getting your info from, but "legal kidnapping" is stretched a little. I know, there are headlines called that. I did a bit of research on this. It's nonsense.

Nobody is allowed to kidnap trans kids, even in FL. What they're saying (and somehow calling "kidnapping") is that courts have been given the right to intervene in custody disputes and remove trans kids from gender-affirming parents. Listen, courts do this ALL THE TIME for kids in tough, unsafe, or economically challenged situations (I guess I was the unlucky one). They're talking about that and gender-affirming healthcare.

Again, THE KIDNAPPING OF ANY INDIVIDUAL (INLCLUDING TRANS KIDS) IS NOT LEGAL ANYWHERE IN THE STATES (INCLUDING FLORIDA).

Well that is one major relief! I was about to... I don't even know, I was just mad with Florida.

Amen mate. Bunch of crazies trying to pull everybody apart.

---

Politics just makes me angry. There's not even a point to it, it's all just stupid.

I can't use the "colorful words" (as Duke puts it) that I want to to describe how... Just dumb, politics is.

---

They're taking away some kids from parents for receiving gender affirming care. They're still taking the kids away.

---

So are you going to oppose kids being taken away from drunk, drug-abusing, beating parents?

---

No. These parents are doing nothing wrong by getting gender affirming care for their children. If parents aren't being good parents and literally putting the kid's life at risk, yes, kids deserve a better place. But they don't need to be taken away for getting gender affirming care. If they don't get gender affirming care, then the lives could be at risk. The parents who are giving children this gender affirming care are not doing anything wrong and, in fact, probably saving a life.

Answer 3

Uhh..

Hey, I'm truly supportive of you, but uh... Can you not mention ending yourself?

I don't like to hear people that I care about just nonchalantly talk about intentionally kicking the bucket. Kinda makes me emotional, not to make this all about me. I just, uh... I don't really know how to reply to things like this...

Don't be scared, all right? You've got so much to live for, and the universe has big plans for you. Just... Keep going, okay? I promise things will get better. :)

I'm sorry this was so shallow, I just had a hard time processing this.

Thanks! Yeah sure I can. I just mention it because a lot of other trans people (mainly in the US) struggle from it too, but I won't mention it again if it makes you uncomfortable :D

Thank you so much, I will try! Like Elo said, I gotta get a good score on Life Simulator xD.

Also, its ok. Most people wouldn't know how to process it either.

:)

Yeah!

Thank you for understanding :)

And I get it, it can sometimes be hard to live in this... I don't even know what to call it anymore.

I just want you to be happy and actually want to live! Because I want you to be here! (Again, not trying to make it a me thing, I just want you to know that you are loved for who you are and supported no matter what and that you will get through this)

AND HEY, WE NEED TO MAKE IT TO 1 MILLION POINTS TOGETHER!

YOU AND ME BABY LES GOOOO

(AND ALSO WN BECAUSE WE ARE DA GOLDEN GIRLS AND THE GOLDEN GIRLS LIVE FOREVER!!!)

(AND LIKE SLOTH SAID YOU ONLY HAVE 2 OPTIONS: LIFE OR LIVE XD)

---

---

A MILLION

WE SHALL DO IT

---

Okay.
