There was so much to hope for being trans in 2011 even in Texas and it’s all gone, it’s all gone because every cis person decided to shouldn’t exist. It is collectively their fault that we don’t have a kinder world, and that the kids that need this care will in many cases die from lack of it 

Someone’s gonna come on this and say “no, republicans did this.” At the time Im talking the reason supportive parents even had the option to get that care for there kids was conservative judges in Houston who were parents rights. It wasn’t a bipartisan issue in the same way it is today.
