Glimpse The Thoughts of Jack the Beaver
So Ron DeFacist has found a new way to piss people off, by making it damn near impossible for trans adults to find hormonal therapy. And many are fleeing in Florida. I'm going to write this to Trans Americans in Florida and I know full well that probably none will see it. I suspect in fact that people I consider friends will get very pissed at me. But frankly, if you're not willing to let me have my opinions when they disagree with yours...I don't want your friendship. I've always respected the opinions of others even when I disagree, I've listened to those on the Left and Right complain about what is ruining the world and never commented. I expect them to do the same for me. Because I have to say something or I won't be able to live with myself.
I am not Trans. Shocking, I know. I am a miserable, self-loathing, snarky, cynical stoic bastard who spends a lot of time reading, writing, masturbating and trying to not see what fucking stupid thing my states politicians are doing this week. Of late in NC I know all about what Mark Robinson, our Lt. Gov has been doing and saying. Mark Robinson is a barely functioning lunatic, an open bigot and the most hateful man in NC since Larry Pittman finally retired. If you don't know who Larry Pittman is, he's a man who's eventual death should be treated as a world wide holiday if not for the fact that celebrating death is always wrong. Even for someone as loathesome as Pittman and Robinson.
Mark Robinson is even more far right than Ron DeSickness, if you can believe that. He also will most likely be the next Governor of NC thanks to Republican BS, Democrat laziness, loser candidates and the fact that the loons who would vote for him will always show up to vote. I also know that if Ron DeSelfImportant succeeds in driving Trans Americans out of Florida, Mark Robinson will go much further in NC. He's called homosexuals filth and has made it clear they have no place in his NC. He'll try to drive us out through legal means, or I suspect through straight up laws encouraging the outing of LGBT public and private service workers, followed by harassment and state sponsored terrorism. I am gearing up for it, because Florida for me is acting like a test case.
Ron DefinitelyNotAChristian is a strong man who relies on fear. He wants Trans Americans to be afraid. They should flee and hide, that is his goal. He wants them to be scared, he wants them to be quiet and he wants people to see him as a strong man who will help cure Florida of that weed called Democracy. I am not Trans, but if I was and I lived in Florida, I would stay. If I was and didn't live in Florida, I'd move there. Because I want Ronny Baby to know one thing.
I am not afraid of you.
I think that Trans Americans who flee Florida are making that man stronger. They're giving him what he wants. They need to stand against him and fight. And I know what people will say, "You're not Trans so you can't know what it's like to lose access to hormonal therapy", and you're right, I don't. I do know that bigots have accused Trans individuals of play acting at being the other gender and that they'd cease to be without hormonal therapy. That if you ban it, eventually they'll give up and go back to the "Correct" gender, as determined by the blasphemy that they claim as Christianity.
I'd stay though. If they take away hormonal therapy, so what? That doesn't change you. The body is hardware, you exist independent of the body. Plus if you stay, you can vote these assholes out. You can fight. And you can be there for those who can't leave. Not everyone can flee Florida. Trans Americans who are stuck are going to have no support, but they'll gave a government that openly hates them. So stay and fight.
I live my life by six words. Fear Nothing, Question Everything, Love All. I don't always live up to them, which I admit, but here is one case where I'd have to try. Fear nothing. Let them curse you, insult you, take your rights and call you a groomer. Show them you won't break. I work in an NC school with homophobic school board members (two being Moms for Liberty), but I've never for a second hidden my sexuality. They've decided my contract won't be renewed, fine I found work at another school. I'm not scared. Go ahead, drive me out, at the end of the day you need me and I still vote. I'll be around. I'm not afraid.

There's a lot of fear that people who are trans will end up getting the death penalty due to various new laws. While it's not technically the case, the sheer amount of abuse of law in Florida legislature makes me doubt they'd actually care if it's actually legal or not. Nor would it matter for the Supreme Court as they've already ruled that innocence is not enough to overturn a guilty verdict, even in a death penalty case.
This sort of stuff has happened in the past as well and eventually it's all overturned because most of it violates one or more of the Constitutional Amendments.
