I can’t stop crying
It’s looking like the election isn’t turning out to be what we’d hoped for, and I feel so angry and helpless to this. My (cisf) partner is trans (ftm) and lately he’s been under a lot more minority stress than usual, and been in and out of pretty heavy depression episodes over the last few months.
My heart is breaking. I am so afraid of what’s going to happen for him and his access to HRT. I’ve been sitting on the bathroom floor crying. He needs HRT. He’s an adult, but we have healthcare in Indiana. I know that minors are basically doomed as far as gender affirming care is concerned, and im really worried it’s going to trickle into the loss of access to HRT even for adults. I REALLY hope that doesn’t happen, he’s been going to a psychiatrist for years and we have all the paperwork of his diagnoses; but I can’t help but worry that some dumb piece of shit clown nazi is going to ‘decide’ what’s best for him. I just feel so hopeless, and moving to a blue state simply isn’t feasible right now.
I can’t stop thinking about this. I don’t think I’ll be getting any sleep tonight. I feel so afraid that he’s going to come apart at the seams with the news of Trump winning.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to be a better and supportive partner, through this? I love him so much. We currently do not live together so I just worry at times :(
