    Nah the world is on the brink. Things get worse for trans people everyday. More war, more police, more Christian far-right/neo-nazis/conservatives, more thugs, more crime, less and less solidarity.

    More and more bloodlust from civil society. Honestly if those volcanoes in India are gonna wake up in the next 30 years I’d feel less sad about it than I do for the trilobites and other Cambrian species, maybe less than even the dinos.

    • Not going to argue wth you on the bad, the world is definitely not in a good place right now.

      But most of it seems like symptoms, rather than cause. Culture wars are being used to divide and conquer, the same is true for warmongering tyrants that seem to invest heavily in foreign disruption tactics and hybrid warfare in an attempt to get the rest of the world off their backs.

      All this civil unrest leads to fear, competition over resources and therefore less solidarity overall. Getting rid of the people deliberately causing chaos would probably fix a lot of it.

      Compared to the past trans people have way more rights and options right now. Gay marriage is also becoming legal in more countries.

      And even if the media tries to push that crime is on the rise… it’s the opposite, actual crime statistics are going down year after year.

      Right wing crazies/conservatives are a big problem of course (though more so in the US).

      If you want to be negative about the future you only have to look at the climate crisis though. Things are going to get fucked in 10-20 years.
