Erik L. Midtsveen 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈<p>🏳️⚧️ I'm severely heartbroken right now! 🏳️⚧️</p><p>Being autistic, I have an intense hyperfixation on the right of trans people to exist, and because most of the creators I follow are trans, their existence fills me with such profound joy that it moves me to tears.</p><p>I might not live in the US, but my heart beats loud and proud for my trans siblings. You have every right to exist, to thrive, and to be unapologetically you. I love you deeply and believe in you with all my soul.</p><p>When this bill becomes law, I’ll be screaming because your fight is my fight. Thinking about trans rights being erased drags me into a deep, suffocating depression that breaks my heart in ways I can barely put into words. It feels like a weight crushing my chest, and the sadness is overwhelming and relentless.</p><p>Seeing trans people have their rights taken away makes me cry and feel deeply and severely depressed, like a weight pressing down that won’t lift no matter how hard I try, yet my autistic brain can’t stand watching trans rights being erased.</p><p>I live in Norway, but even from this distance my autistic brain urges me to cry for you and I don’t know when I’ll return to Mastodon though I will come back whenever I feel able.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TransAlly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransAlly</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gender</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a></p>
