My partner is trans and I can tell you for certain that our current political climate is a topic we discuss on the daily.

I only came out in May of this year. I haven’t had the years or decades to feel all of this hate. Even so, I’m keenly aware of the fact that all LGBTQ individuals are at a far greater risk of being further disenfranchised and discriminated against today than we were even a year ago.

My mom didn’t come out before she passed because before 2000, we just didn’t accept the community as much as we did between 2000 - 2015. This is how I remember things anyway, as I was still living the privileged CIS life then.

As this regime pushes forward, I can see we are in for a long and difficult road as a country and as a community.
