Further to our previous, quoted post, we've already taken certain actions to reduce the intense (and worsening) negative emotions we're experiencing over seeing other posts from other trans+ folks over things like:

• Their trans+ joy or euphoria.
• Making amazing process with voice training.
• Gender-affirming surgeries.
• Being able to get decent care and support.

... and so on.

So far, we've muted several sub-Reddits we're subscribed to, so that they don't appear on our Reddit feed.

We intend to do the same shortly here by adding filters to put a CW on posts with certain keywords or hashtags that have become triggering to us

We genuinely loathe that we have to do this, but we do not know how else to continue to engage here otherwise.

We used to feel so happy for others who were able to get the gender-affirming care that they needed, even if we knew it wouldn't be available to us.

Now, it seems like all we feel is a mixture of jealousy, intense sadness, and... we guess a little resentfulness and bitterness, which in-turn makes us feel even worse 😔

We don't feel envious, as we want others to be able to get the care that they need. We're specifically jealous because the care we need has been -- and still is actively being -- denied to us.

We're beyond exhausted of having to self-advocate and beg for scraps of basic gender-affirming healthcare.

And that's before we even bring in the struggles we've had trying to get any kind of suitable other support, particularly with mental health, or just with life in general.

We're sorry, because you all deserve to celebrate your joy and to want to share it with friends and people online.

You all deserve to discuss this stuff openly without fear of triggering somebody else.

You all deserve to get all the care and support that you need, and to not have to hide it away.

We just currently cannot participate in it, because it's breaking us apart even more every time we see, read, or hear somebody getting or achieving something we also intensely desire or need, but have little-to-no realistic chance of ever achieving.

Sorry 😔
