Queer trans nerd (he/him). Ex-academic with the student loan debt to prove it. Fannish, sometimes on main.
I'm happy for all the trans people who are able to emigrate.
But the quoted post's "if you just have $75,000 in savings, it's simple!" is a bit much. When trans people are on average much poorer than cis ppl. When the most threatened of us (black and brown trans women) have the fewest resources.

"Mohammedan"? Did Loomer write in from 1895?
Not the most important point, I suppose. But Loomer seems to be going out of her way to use an antiquated and offensive term.

It's been years since I was a tag wrangler, but even back then there were an overwhelming number of freeform tags. Kudos to whatever brave soul is wading through them.

I resisted trying a GLP-1 for a long time because I'd heard all the horror stories. But I finally started 2 months ago and it's working extremely well for me (on the lowest dose, too) with no real side effects.
And luckily my insurance is behaving, so far.
