So, Trans Lifeline has been having trouble making ends meet of late. So much so that they’ve started having to cut management and hours.

This is sub-fucking-optimal.

If you’ve got a few bucks to spare, these folks are doing insanely good work and need to keep the lights on.

Also, if you like this without boosting, it’s basically a hate-crime. Just so we’re clear. 😉

@itsmeholland Given some of the replies I can’t tell whether you mean what I was referring to or the hyperbolic phrasing I used. 😄👍🤷🏽

@Caution lol just your hyperbole i think 😆 like "who wouldn't boost this post?! That IS a hate crime" lmao & just the fact that i boosted before i read the whole thing, it was extra funny to see that last piece haha

@itsmeholland Apparently it was considered off-putting by some folks. Which, fine, hyperbole doesn’t work for everyone. It’s a reasonable gripe. It’s still probably the single most effective post I’ve ever made (in terms of reach), so overall I’m reasonably ok with it. If it got even a single donation that wouldn’t have been made otherwise, I’m good with that.

@itsmeholland We’re all sensitive about certain things, and I respect that. I also know that it’s impossible to please everybody*, and that’s fine too.

* so we’re clear I’m not trying to suggest that this means any sort of rude behaviour or hatefulness is acceptable because everything is valid and some folks are “snowflakes” or somesuch bs.

@itsmeholland Yah. The number of “My bus being late is homophobic” and “selling blueberry bagels is anti-semitic” (and so forth- I’m using examples that relate to my own marginalizations) cracks that come from within the respective communities is pretty common fare.
