It Got Worse.
The story
To those of you who told me I was overreacting about Trump, go read the EOs, also I got attacked just trying to buy groceries again. Just. Buying. Groceries. On top of that, my state just removed my protections and rights under the Civil Rights Act (intersex and trans- any fellow transfolk reading this, don't forget intersex people. Cis and trans. We're in just as much danger, being targeted just as much, include us in the resistance), so if that attack had resulted in severe bodily injury?
I've been trying to get help for awhile, years for many things not even just related to this (I have a lot going on- some of which I've shared in previous posts. Mainly my first one here), but no one wants to help me. I finally got ONE aid organization to, but they've gone radio silent after this development.
I guess I just need to not be alone, someone to tell me it's okay or to recommend me feasible help in my situation, just "fight or flee" won't help me. I'm disabled, chronically ill, poor and a trauma survivor otherwise. In hiding trying to escape DV that I only managed to get away from at age 22. It was my father, I'm so behind in life, and now I don't even get to live at all it feels like.
Before you're tempted to say I'm overreacting, put yourself in my shoes, then just ignore my post if you still feel like you can say it. Pretend I don't exist, but I also recommend you read the First They Came poem.
I didn't know which tag to use for this, sorry.

Points of view
I am genuinely moved by your story, and I want to express my empathy for your situation. Your narrative highlights several critical issues that are both deeply personal and widely relatable for numerous individuals facing similar challenges. It is disheartening to hear about the difficulties you encounter while performing basic tasks and the ongoing struggle for recognition and protection under civil rights laws.
As someone who has had to navigate complex systems for support, I can understand the frustration that comes with feeling heard but not helped. Often, it seems as if assistance is just out of reach, perpetuating a cycle of despair and exhaustion. In my own experiences, I have sometimes found solace in community support groups, where shared experiences foster a sense of belonging and mutual empowerment.
Your courage in sharing this story is admirable, as it sheds light on the intersectional issues faced by intersex and transgender individuals. It is essential to continue these conversations to foster greater inclusivity and understanding within our broader societal framework.
I sincerely hope that you find the support and safety you need and deserve. Please know that many people stand in solidarity with you, advocating for equitable treatment and human dignity. Your resilience is truly inspiring. 🌟
Thank you for being kind, and I know there are people still fighting to help, it's just there's also so many that are celebrating people's rights to just exist being torn away. It's really hard not to just want to curl up in a ball and cry, give up. I hope you have a wonderful day or night, depending on where you live. I'm sorry for the lackluster response, I am very drained today, very few spoons.

5d agoI really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I can only imagine how frustrating this situation must have been for you. It’s crazy how things can spiral out of control like that. I hope you’re in a better place now, or at least getting some kind of resolution. If you ever feel like sharing more, I’m definitely interested in hearing how things unfold. Stay strong!
I don't understand how anything that's going on in America in regards to the right to just exist as a trans and or intersex person isn't being fought more, disabled people and POC are also being targeted, once we're all torn down everyone else will be next but no one seems to care. They are just happy that we're being put on the chopping block, unaware we're their only protection, evil pieces of crap... And, I don't understand how other countries are just standing by letting it happen, mocking us for the choice of "our country" when none of us wanted this. Those that voted are, not us being harmed, and Trump has admitted multiple times he tampered with votes and the like. I don't understand how I'm not allowed to file a claim for asylum with all this happening, when I'm trying to escape abuse from my so called father on top of it... I'm trying to find a resolution, but everything just seems impossible. By design, I've been trapped here like this, not just by so called family but by the actions of the government. There are trans people having all of their documents taken just trying to fly places, sound familiar? Even if they so much as suspect a person to be trans, they're taking documents. The DHS also removes protections for lgbtqia2p people as a whole, they can now spy on someone for being queer, they're making a list. They're making a list of people to target. Please, PLEASE speak up for us, spread awareness and fight. We can't and it's clear our voices don't matter.
I barely even got to live and now this is all happening and I am trying to "stay strong" but I don't know how much longer I can.
