Transgender people, constantly oppressed and wanted gone, once again trust face new threats in the U.S. A monster against trans people is in office with his disciples, ready to rain down hateful punishment upon the innocent. No more surgeries, no more happiness. What happens to those who can’t be themselves, who cannot truly be happy with the body they were stuck in? They die, they rip and tear at the body parts that make them uncomfortable, for a few moments of gender euphoria, until they bleed out. This piece represents that idea of causing yourself pain to become happy. As a trans person myself, I hate what body I was born in. I’ve always envisioned ripping off my breasts, tearing at my vagina, just wanting to be my true self, a man. It would make me so happy to be a man, but I’m scared that I’ll never become one due to our political standing right now, and Project 2025. To all trans people, you deserve to be happy, and comfortable in your own skin. I don’t want more trans deaths, I don’t want you to tear yourself apart or hurt yourself. You deserve to be happy.
