Last Boost: I really feel that now, and I'm horrified for the trans kids growing up in it. When I came out, there weren't many of us out in public. I was treated more as a sympathetic curiosity than a threat. I had a lot more help than hindrances, which, to be fair, were there.

Now there are laws being pushed up that will kill our kids, all because conservatives are willing to throw us under the bus for (unecessarily) angry outraged votes.
