Anti-trans conspiracies driven by right-wing activists and lawmakers broke up my family, but they can’t destroy me.

    Oh they going try though. If your lucky you can get somewhere safe. If not you will end up in a cage. Scary times are coming soon, especially here in the south.

      when they’re perfectly happy to let women die with failed pregnancies, lgbtq folk are in deep shit if they assume they have any rights in that kakistocracy.

      it shouldn’t be this way. it’s disgusting.

          I’m reluctant to let our kid visit fam down there. Apparently they also have a rape epidemic and that’s not helping the pregnancy issue.

          good luck with your fam, might be time to help them move away from those places.

          I miss the food… I miss some of the people, but I do not miss texas’s bullshit
