It felt for a few years that things were looking up. No one really cared when I transitioned, people were largely supportive.
Since 2016 though, things have been in a rapid decline. I’m exhausted, I feel like I have a target on my back, and I’m terrified.
I want to move but the economy is crashing and I have some semblance of stable work now. Not enough to save for a move, not enough to get above water on the debt my ex left me, but enough that hopefully I’ll be able to keep paying rent and keep food in my fridge.
I just can’t imagine another three years of this.
I could survive another 3 years I think, but I don’t know if it could get better after that. I’m doing what I can to push back but it feels pretty bleak. I wish I had hope to offer.
