Thats interesting, I have the COMPLETE opposite take. Id MUCH rather be living in 1999 right now. Things are only getting worse and facism is on the rise, the wealth divide is bigger than its ever been, and there's 0 hope the future will improve.
I dont let it get me down, ill be sitting fine when it goes to shit, but man I feel bad for gen z and a.
As a trans person, 2026 seems way better than 1999
I think that's generally true for queer people, so I'm in the same boat as you
While true, you make up .05% of the population (i think?)
But yes, thats about the only better thing, but its going to regress in 10 years.
It's all seesaws. It's been getting worse for us for a while now, hopefully in 10 years it'll be the 'three steps forward' section.
