    Sadly, everything LGBT related in my country is illegal and heavily frowned upon, especially being trans.

    I remember hearing about a trans woman being beat up in a taxi (I forgot which city it happened in), and everyone was cheering.

    Other than that, they basically refuse to acknowledge your new gender and insist that it’s whatever was assigned to you at birth.

    And there is no support for the trans community (or even the broader LGBT community) at all in my country. Not even a little bit.

    This is just one reason among dozens, why I hate Morocco.

      That’s a really shitty situation to be in. I’m sorry you’ve had to navigate such a queerphobic culture. I hope that you’ll be able to move somewhere better someday. Hang in there. Things will get better. The fight isn’t over for us.

      Sending you love from across the ocean

            That’s why I have plans of moving out, but it’s really hard due to the visa restrictions imposed on us.

            Also xenophobia. That’s another problem some people might face.
