Me in 2015: wow!!! Harry Potter World is amazing! I’ll buy a magic wand and fight dragons and …. look at the castle!! Me in 2024: I’m in a state that doesn’t acknowledge my existence trying to avoid giving any money or attention to a horrible, wealthy, transphobe 😓
This is why I’m trying to leave, beyond simple safety. The hate is crushing my heart little by little. I don’t want to stop caring or feeling wonder.
We get it. I am on the fence on leaving. In practice, we may see the repercussions on other parts of the world as well. I also don't know where tf I would move to... how do I know the next country will not go through the same thing? Or that I would not face racism at the new place etc, etc? Grass is always greener on the other side kinda thing, except the grass on this side of the fence is all dead and there's only mud 🫠
