Trans people are under attack in the United States, both literally, through violence and threats of violence, and figuratively, in the form of anti-trans legislation and discrimination. This can be depressing for trans people and can make them anxious. So what does it mean for people who happen to be trans and already deal with depression and anxiety disorders? We find out one person’s experience in this interview with Parker Molloy, writer of the newsletter The Present Age. Hear about Parker’s early onset of depression and anxiety as well as the dawning realization that she was, in fact, female. And learn why she’s still on Twitter despite the growing noisy hatred on the site.
