I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I am stupid enough to occasionally get close to falling for a scam. Rather than test my luck, I’d rather they didn’t exist.
I think part of my hopelessness is that I am realizing hrt has not done anything to my face, I figured this out since I am still pretty recognizable. the only thing hrt has done for me is give me boobs, which usually results in hey dead name, you should loose some weight when i am recognized in public.

I think you need to come out to those people. It’s scary, and in the immediate-term very bad, but after that… you get recognition. Not being recognized as yourself suuuuucks.
The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
You’re right, feelings do matter, and this post did not dispute that. It’s just that safety matters more.
It saddens me that the default interpretation of this is accusatory and requiring of defense. Not to personally blame you, this is very common and clearly a systemic reaction, but I don’t know enough psychology/politics/sociology to understand why, just enough to know it’s bad.
“If we don’t send arms to Israel, then someone else will, such as … hmmmm … China – yes, Chinaaaaa! China bad and scary! USA gud and pure! Trust me bro, it’s complicated, you just don’t understand.

Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!
Oh that’s definitely his fault, but you are presented 2 bad options and have chosen the worst one out of principle.
Please be practical. I want the best for Palestine, and unfortunately the best US presidential candidate for them with a chance of winning is Biden. “best” meaning least worst…
Send a message all you’d like, but I’d rather minimize the inevitable damage than say “told you so” while standing and watching everything burn.
I’m not shaming you for not wanting to vote for him, I don’t want to either, I’m trying to convince people that voting for him is in Palestine’s best interest (better than Trump winning).
You have a completely different perspective than I. Yes, the Democratic party is being an ass to voters; yes, I hate them for what they’re (not) doing; but I can slightly affect the odds to be slightly better for Palestine, so I will.
You can send a message that you’re not a pawn, but they don’t care, or at least in 4 years it won’t matter anymore. If you want the best for Palestine, analyze your options for what’s best, of which giving up and stepping back is not a very good one.
