The article reflects personal bouts of anxiety and insomnia linked to recent troubling legal developments affecting trans rights in the UK. The author grapples with overwhelming emotions following the Supreme Court's ruling classifying women strictly as 'biological women,' which has intensified societal and governmental pressures on the transgender community. The piece highlights the frustration and fear felt by trans individuals in light of systemic denial of their rights, exacerbated by a culture that often dismisses marginalized voices. Ultimately, through a moment of emotional release, the author finds temporary solace amid chaos.
Last night was different, though. I had been paradoxically trying to force myself to relax and get what was left of my eight hours, but my mind was far too caught up teeming with anxious predilections of the future.
Since the ruling was shared on 16 April, the government, the NHS, the EHRC, and all the transphobic naysayers who litter the internet have been ruthless in celebrating the systematic denial of a marginalised community.
We are still here - and we are watching.
