"Transitioning as a minor was something that was medically necessary for me to do in order to be not suicidal, and it is really important that we protect access to trans care for trans youth." @thevivllainous.bsky.social

It's so sad how trans youth have been trapped in this catch-22 situation where they're both disenfranchised by adults as "too young to know" while also being their own sole source of advocacy since adults coming to their defence are branded as abusers.
It's "protect the kids" until the kids say "I don't feel safe and I need medical intervention" and then it's "torture the kids and ban them from society."
That's because he's a transphobic,misogynistic man-child. I recently read where Vivian talked about part of his issues with her is that he specifically wants male children and uses sex-selective IVF to get that so when she came out it upset him because she was not the product he was promised.
The whole country has become a secondary victim of Vivian's dad's abusive authoritarianism right now. We're all stuck dealing with the fallout of Elon's transmisogyny because he can't do his therapy homework.
Vivienne is totally right that being trans is not a choice. Just like you
don’t get to choose to be left handed. Just because it is not immediately visible to an outsider,changes nothing. As Carl Young said “nobody knows you better than yourself “ 🏳️⚧️🤷♀️
Teen vogue is one of the last few bastions of real journalism in a legacy print media company. I don’t know how they didn’t get bought and destroyed like WaPo and NYT, but they have been putting out BANGERS for a decade now
Essay on transitioning, joy, democracy, religion, america...
"Maybe the fight against trans people is just the fight against our democracy writ small. For if we can’t grant the space to people to transition, to find their joy in their lives, how can we unfurl those options to everyone?"
What a remarkable young woman she is. My trans kid isn't much older than her, and I just can't imagine not being proud of them every day, and how sad for her father to be so blind to her obvious light.
