Went out for groceries, including a couple 5-gallon water jugs. At the checkout, the lovely person at the register says Hi ma’am, pretends not to notice my 5 o’clock shadow that my makeup has for hours failed to hide, tells me she loves my bracelet, and then tells the young men helping bag items to “help this nice lady with her water”.

I’ll be hanging onto that. She was an angel.

    3rd day homeless in Seattle while getting ice for my estradiol stash a guy came up to me. He said “Hey, sister. Could you spare some so I can get a pre-roll?” I told him I couldn’t and was homeless. He looked at my whole life in my car and said “My bad, sis.” gave me bones and walked back to the gas station wall. I am a cinderblock transsexual. I do NOT pass. I knew I was finally where I needed to be. I been thru hell for a while since and I cry every time I remember.

          Aww sweetie! Unfortunately for me I’m stuck on TERF island (the UK). Will you let us know when you’ve gotten somwhere safe? It would name me happy to hear.

          I have a dear dear friend in portland and I really want to go visit there sometime but I don’t think American border control takes too kindly to antifa t-girls at the moment so I’m probably not going to make that trip any time soon.
