Hey if you're trans or anyone being targeted at the moment and you are struggling rn and can't find a "good enough reason" for why you can't function as well as someone else supposedly is, remember the state of world right now. It is unrealistic to expect yourself to function normally in these conditions.
Personally, I kept taking advice from my dad (who hasn't been a young adult since the 90s), and at some point, I realized it wasn't helping because it simply isn't the 90s anymore. The world is so much harder, we're in a reccesion and I'm fucking transgender right now. I can't take advice from someone who had it way easier than I do and then wonder why I can't perform as well as he could, he had it wayyyy easier.
So give yourself a fucking break.
Bills don't stop coming, assholes don't stop being assholes, but even just shifting your focus away from what you're "supposed" to be doing toward what you want to do, helps a lot. Pushing through despite the conditions is what's reckless, not calming yourself to a point where you can actually function.
(This goes for those is high school too, that shit is hard, give yourself a break.)
