I'm so sorry all that shit happened to you. Nobody should have to go through that.
No they shouldn't, but trans people aren't alone in being abused. I try not to handwring about personal injustice and focus on where I can help to make the world a little softer.
I can do more due to those who came before, with luck what little I have done will help those who come after. It is not a given that history tends towards a just world, but many people have been fighting for that for a long time and I think we are slowly winning.
I'm not very old, and even so I see kids expressing non cis/hetero aspects of themselves with a fearlessness I could never have conceived of at their age. It gives me hope.
