And, of course, when people talk about how purportedly safe Poland is, they don't say FOR WHOM. Because for us, it is not. And I won't skip a single occasion to point this out to any cis person. I didn't buy my pepper spray for no reason. I had been physically and verbally assaulted in the "safest country in Europe".
Did I have no good experiences at all? Oh, I did. A few. But does my peak comfort level need to be at a cis person's trough level? Is it "natural" that I should be suffering? Is it "normal" that the public doesn't give a single fuck? That I'm seen as less-than? No, I don't think so. I've been done dirty, that's all. And I've given this country enough, not receiving much in return.
My experience of living in Poland as a trans person is a constant struggle against stubborn ignorance, thinly veiled contempt, open animosity, legal discrimination, absence of healthcare, indifference and carelessness of medical professionals, and lack of agency over your own body. It's other people diminishing your feelings, knowing better what's good for you, telling you what's insulting to you and what is not, & not missing the occasion to tell you how unattractive you are to them.
Allowed myself to eat some more carbs and yeah... already getting sugar crashes.

Vapor-cooking cauliflower while being hungry is an exercise in patience I might fail today.
