Michigan isn't red. And don't fucking kill yourself. I'm an old cis white dude, and if I can help fight for your rights, the least you can do is stick around to enjoy them, right?

I'm terrible at pep talks but just don't fucking kill yourself. There is beauty in the world you have yet to experience, and you make the world a more wondrous and beautiful place just by existing.

I'm in Iowa and that's a red state these days. If they want to kill me I won't go quietly, but I'd definitely rather die than detransition.

There are other options. They might involve not staying in Iowa, but hell suicide means leaving Iowa, too, so you might as well try another state.

The Arab Spring all started with a suicide.

Just something to think about.

Of all the Iowans to kill why one of the victims?

There are better places.

And there are worse places.

Does it suck? yes. Do you have a choice? no.
