engage in your (local) community, it's the only thing that will save you. join your local dsa faction, see if there's queer events in your area, go to protests and actually talk to people. depression hates a moving target and being active in organizing is the only way to fight of nihilism. revolutionary optimism WILL save your life.

I know this isn’t specifically pertaining to transness, but I didn’t know where else to post where I wouldn’t end up in an argument with right wingers and where I could maybe get some genuine advice.

go find the things they're not winning at. they overload everything with so much bad, and the good never gets told. half the things they claim they'll do or they'll try to do get shot down, but you never find out because they move on to trying to do something else. they want you overwhelmed and tired, they want this tactic to work

When you’re at this stage, it is necessary to completely unplug from the news for a time. You can’t fight when your nervous system is going haywire. We need you to take care of yourself, and connect with people locally who are on the same wavelength as you. Find ways to help each other and pool your resources so the system can’t squeeze you as hard. Contribute your strengths and rely on others to help with your weaknesses. It takes time and effort to build this kind of relationship but its worth
