I'm a trans woman cross country runner at my college in Idaho, where a discriminatory law called HB 500 was recently passed, and now that the case has been officially filed, I wanted to come to a safe place to talk about it. I am really overwhelmed by the amount of attention that is now on me, and I feel like my every move has a lens on it, especially online. It's not that I don't feel safe, but I am publicly out as a trans woman, attached to a major news story, and I'm in a conservative state, so I do feel like I have to be wary of my actions a lot more than before. Questions regarding my lawsuit or just my life and transtion are welcome - I want as much support from my fellow trans people as I can get... this is new and scary to me but at the same time so empowering and exciting because not many people get to fight for a right of their group/population like I'm doing.
