I am attempting to de- my digital life (as much as is possible at the moment). I got myself an that does not have Google services installed on it, and I am using , , , etc. to get the apps, and using the and 's ( built into their mobile browser).

I am doing my best to use apps, and only getting ones that are not security focused when necessary. I am not logging into Google, or any other / services except when necessary.

My question is, are there any / apps that allow you to login on the and messages to your phone (even if only on the same network), and a that has that does not use Google or ? I am currently using , but only until I figure out the app I am using with the KB (HYBRID phone running Android 11).

Does this exist? I am currently using the , with (De-Googled keyboard), but it doesn't have web/PC access, and with those people that use it, even though I hate the fact it's linked to your number, and not an ID (such as /) or nothing...

Any help?

A Text conversation between 2 people, composed of 5 messages. All text is white on dark background. One of the recipient's message bubbles are black, and one is blue. Message 1 (black): So they're ending the ability to get prescriptions via telehealth. I got mine through a private practice endocrinologist so I should be okay for now Message 2 (blue): Ok. Well, that's good, at least. So, physical office visits are safe for now? Message 3 (black): For now. They are also trying to limit it where only a physician can prescribe, not pa's or nurse practitioners but that hasn't passed yet Message 4 (black):They are taking the same approach the did with abortion before the Dobbs ruling, where instead of banning it outright they are going to make so many restrictions it's just nearly impossible to get. Message 5 (black):I am privileged in that I have a car and money to pay out of pocket so I will be okay, but a lot of people are going to be devastated

justice_dazzle,

Update: FL Senate Bill SB 254 was passed yesterday. This means that ANY child that the FL government thinks is in danger of receiving gender affirming care (or is), or is in the same home as someone who is can be taken into protective custody.
.
THAT MEANS NOT JUST RESIDENTS!!!
.
People visiting are at risk, too!!!
.
Read the below to get more context. I did not write the next few toots.

justice_dazzle,

(Not OP, simply sharing)
.
It is no longer safe for my children to visit Florida.

I don't know if they will ever again get to be in the same room as their Florida-based family members who can't travel.

Because SB 254 was certified by the FL Senate today, and it will be effective immediately on being signed into law.

This law not only prohibits transgender minors from receiving age-appropriate gender-affirming care, but it also gives the state of Florida to take "emergency custody" of ANY CHILD PRESENT IN THE STATE who they deem at risk of receiving gender-affirming care or of being in a home where someone else is.

Any child.

Not just a resident.

Any child physically present in the state can be legally kidnapped by the State of Florida to "protect" them from receiving life-saving gender-affirming medical services or from having a parent or sibling who receives such care.

For my family, we're the lucky ones.

1/?

justice_dazzle,

We got out in 2017.

Now, we can't go back.

My trans daughter could be stolen from me if she is present in FL, to "protect" her from living the life she has told us was hers from the moment she could speak.

My cis son could be stolen from me if he is present in FL, to "protect" him from living with a sister whose parents and doctors believed her when she told them who she is.

My heart is cracked in 1/2 for my kids who may never be able to go there again.

But it's absolutely shattered for the trans kids and siblings who are still living in FL who are not only going to be stripped of their basic human right to appropriate and affirming medical care, but are also going to be ripped from their families under the guise of "protection."

If you actually gave a shit about children, you'd be doing something about poverty, hunger, abuse, neglect, lack of med care, lack of a social safety net, lack of supports for parents, unchecked mass shootings.

2/?

justice_dazzle,

Don't you dare tell me this is about "protecting children."

Youth who receive gender-affirming care are 73% less likely to die by suicide.

Guess what that means about kids who don't have access to it.

Kids whose names, whose identities, whose pronouns, whose HUMANITY are respected can THRIVE, not just survive.

Guess what that means about kids whose identify and existence are invalidated by everyone around them.

If you really cared about protecting children, you'd be fighting FOR gender-affirming care — a practice endorsed by every major medical organization in the world — with every breath in your body.

This isn't "just politics."

Don't you dare tell me your vote "isn't personal."

3/?

justice_dazzle,

You just don't fucking care how it affects anyone but YOU.

And who you vote for is a life or death decision.

SB 254 is going to kill countless people — mostly children.

It is going to ruin lives — children's lives, and the lives of those who love them.

It is going to destroy families — loving families that are trying to give their kiddos a beautiful, safe life.

And so is the legislation in the 20+ other states that are already criminalizing or actively seeking to criminalize trans-ness and persecute transfolx.

This isn't protection.
This is the shit people need protection FROM.

Maybe you're not trans.
Maybe you don't know even know a trans person.
But they exist.
They've always existed.

And if you do not actively oppose the criminalization of their existence, not just with your words but with your actions and your VOTES, their blood is on your hands just as much as it is on the hands of the lawmakers you elected.

justice_dazzle,

"It's not personal."

Yeah, I guess if you don't give a shit about people, nothing is personal.

But for the real human beings whose real human lives are being affected by these bills and bans,

for the people who are being personally targeted by fear-mongering, bigoted zealots,

for the people who are going to lose family members,

for the children who are going to be legally kidnapped from their loving homes by the State of Florida and may never see their families again,

for the people who are going to end their lives because it's better than the alternative,

purely because they exist,

it doesn't get more personal than this.

justice_dazzle,

Links to SB 254 and its companion bill HB 1421 in the comments — they go even beyond what I've highlighted here, and you need to read every word.

Please, please, please, do not take your trans kids to Florida.

This legislation literally means that the State of Florida can assume custody of your child while you're on a family Disney adventure, keep them indefinitely, and deprive them of the critical medical care they depend on.

Do not risk it.

Cancel the vacation.
Lose the deposit.
Disappoint the other family members who are going to be there.
Stay home and be bored.

That is way better than having this be the last trip you and your precious child take together.

Reminder that whatever you store on an internet site will one day vanish, even if it's stored on the largest and richest site in the world:

"Myspace, the once mighty social network, has lost every single piece of content uploaded to its site before 2016, including millions of songs, photos and videos with no other home on the internet."

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/mar/18/myspace-loses-all-content-uploaded-before-2016

Please don't rely on internet services to exist forever, they will all disappear eventually.

Try to store copies of important stuff offline if you can. Music, video, photos etc can all be stored locally.

justice_dazzle,

@FediThing Yup. Plus, once global thermo-nuclear war hits, ISPs and data centers are going to be one of the first things hit with EMPs.

🧵 So, I blocked my mom and my 4 siblings yesterday. Our relationships have never been great, and they have never seen me for who I really am, but when I came out as a , they got worse.

I finally got to a point of acceptance (thanks to a couple of amazing therapists, and trauma work with one of them) that no matter what I said to them, they were not going to change until something drastic happened, and all I could do was deal with my reaction and actions.

1/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 I can't do their healing for them, and the emotional pain and religious trauma they have put me through is the most painful thing I have had happen to me in my entire life.

I spent my entire childhood (after I buried my deep at 4 years old) trying to figure out why I was so broken and different than them. When I was 7 or 8, I found out what being adopted was, and I was so happy, because I finally had an answer.

2/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 Come to find out, I am not adopted, just different than them. I love them with my entire heart, but I came to the realization a couple of years ago that they love who they want me to be, and who I pretended to be to protect myself, not the me that is me.

Unconditional love is unconditional, and it is not as common as it should be. Unfortunately, people tend to find that out more than most.

I spent the last 3+ years trying to get to...

3/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 ...this point, because I knew, deep inside, that my gut feelings of walking away until they were ready to have me in my life as me were right. I couldn't do it for an excruciatingly long time for a few reasons.

  1. My dad. If I cut off ties to my siblings and mom (who is still married to my mom), will he understand and be able to get past it?

  2. My ( and ). What happens when () one of them comes out, or...

4/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 ...is , dates someone that their parents don't approve of, doesn't want to continue going to , or a plethora of other things? I want them to know that their tranny aunt exists, loves them, and will always be there for them.

  1. If I go () then what does that mean of me as a person? Other people get through hard things too, and don't do such a drastic thing. Am I broken, like I have been made to believe?

5/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 4) Once I make the move, it is real, and will I ever be able to go back?

  1. At times, some of my siblings would get better. So, maybe, there was a chance?

All of these things, and more, are what kept me from making the move.

But, ultimately, and I had to walk away. , not making a decision is making a , and I was making a decision to stay in this cycle of and .

I have a wonderful...

6/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 ...partner, Aunts and Uncle, cousins, and that sees me for me and loves me for who I am, not for who they want to be.

In addition, my dad is trying. He doesn't understand or how the person he thought was his son is really his daughter, but he tries. He uses my name and pronouns (even though he messes up a bunch), calls me his daughter, and even (sometimes) corrects my mom.

In the end, I wrote at least 4 drafts to my mom...

7/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 ...1 to my brother, and 3 to one of my sisters. I also wrote a long email to my whole family (18 months ago), explaining how their behavior hurt me...to this day, my dad is the only one who responded, and one sister mentioned it in passing...and none of them (truly) changed their behavior.

I found that I couldn't write a letter to explain why I was going no contact without being hurtful, so, in the end, all I said was...

8/?

justice_dazzle,

🧵 ...that I finally just created a group chat with them all and posted this message (screenshot attached). I blocked their emails, numbers, and on social.

I don't know why I needed to post this, but I did.

I'll leave you with this (link to YouTube, Laura Jane Grace singing "Unconditional Love.")
