Seriously worried this helps pave the way for a national ban, maybe even for adults. It's obviously what the red team is aiming for, and it really sucks to watch them inch closer and closer.
I've been holding out hope that midterm elections will flip the senate/house and we'll be okay but it's starting to feel like that's too far off.

Dooming a vulnerable group to an incredibly painful and easily treatable condition is just malice for the sake of malice. My heart hurts for my siblings who simply can't afford meds without help.
I won't have the easiest time answering what you're asking for, since I was fully out and legally transitioned before I started college. Sorry!
High school me, however, had an awful time! One of the few things that kept me around was meeting a teacher who wanted to see me happy. Genuinely meant the world to me that there was someone there who was on my side, who cared about who I was, and would listen when I told her about the unfun parts of being queer.
I think that aside from that, I really needed to hear from somebody that part of being trans is that life gets better as you get older and have more command over your environment. School sucks and it sucks doubly when your body fits wrong and your peers could all potentially be hostile. Not having someone older and wiser and also queer around meant I kind of had to just figure that part out on my own.
