In 1995, Tyra Hunter, a black trans woman, got in a car accident.
EMTs arrived, and when they cut her pants to treat and injury and found out she had a penis.
The EMTs backed off, used some slurs, before eventually delivering her to an ER.
She bled out in the waiting room. 1/

Instead, they just..... Didn't.
That's the story.
It was egregious enough that DC General was held liable to the tune of a couple million dollars.
Zero EMTs, Drs, or staff ever faced legal repercussions.
THAT'S what was re-legalized today.
That's why we're mourning.

At a trial later, it was determined she would've had an 86% chance of survival if they'd treated her like a "normal" person.
If they'd simply referred her to an ER surgeon to close internal wounds & provide a blood transfusion, she was EIGHTY-SIX PERCENT to live.

After this pandemic, I hope the push for a livable min wage gets more stream.
You can't call employees at grocery stores "essential workers" AND say theyre all "jobs for highschoolers"
Theyre the most at risk to contract a major disease rn and deserve to be treated accordingly.

One of the most miserable parts of being trans is watching folks you idolized as a child, a family member, author, or otherwise, detail just how much they hate you

I started HRT at 23, played my first Pro Tour at 27, and have built a career in the six-figure range that I didn't start working in until I was 29, btw.
one thing they dont tell u abt turning 23 is that suddenly its too late for everything. too late to pursue ur dreams, too late to take those risks, too late to be in love, too late to for quite literally everything. life ends at 22 and ure only left with regrets and longings

Sex workers are content creators, and should be recognized as such.
Their brands and identities don't have to be entirely defined by their jobs, especially since we don't do that for most CCs.
Sex workers deserve the same opportunities as other people.
