Like, I understand the value of being visibly trans, and of doing what I can to help others in my community, but it all feels so indirect and insufficient. It feels like coping, not like *doing something* that might actually change the situation for the better. It's all hopes that somehow our small gestures will lead to a better future in a sort of chaos theory "butterflies and hurricanes" type thing, when all I want to do is directly pull on the levers of change.
