Does anyone else feel like the world we live in is getting harder to survive in every day? I'm trans, so this is kind of directed towards other minorities, but anyone can answer. I'm in the US, and it feels like every day gets worse for people like me. The world is so hostile to anyone outside of the "norm." Every time I open any social media or something it's like I'm bombarded by how everyone is going to treat me and people like me like freaks who deserve suffering. It's not just the internet, people have been awful in person too. It's hard to feel like the world is ever going to get any kinder to me. It makes me feel hopeless, but also so unbelievably angry. I hate the general populace more and more every day.
Aside from the feelings of it all, everything is just such a dangerous pain in the ass. I can't change my name or gender marker because then I can't get a passport. If I apply for jobs and then get an interview, it's obvious my name doesn't match what I look like, so I can't even try to keep it a secret from employers. My job right now is cool about it, but it's my part time job from high school, and since I graduated college I'm going to have to try and branch out. Other jobs I've had have been awful about it. I just feel like the odds are stacked against me everywhere I look. It's hard to hold out for a better future when the world feels like it gets worse every day.
