J. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA. SF:<p>As an American transgender woman, I feel pretty shitty on this International Women's Day. My government is aggressively telling the world that people like me don't belong and should not be celebrated or even acknowledged. They are backing that up with policy changes, erasing us from history, and using language that paints us as deceitful predators.<br>I can't go back. I won't go back.<br>I won't give up either.<br>But I'm still scared and powerless.</p><p>If you have a transgender woman in your life as family, friend, or acquaintance, please take a moment to remind them that they matter and that their identify is valid.<br>It could save a life.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LGBTQIAS2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIAS2</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InternationalWomensDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalWomensDay</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InternationalWorkingWomensDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalWorkingWomensDay</span></a></p>
