I have a friend I've been talking to about #letusmarry who will remain anonymous for reasons that are apparent.

They are in a polyam living situation. They are disabled.

I'd like to share their words.

1) I feel like I may have blathered about this before, but it frustrates me every time I have to recertify for benefits that the only legal category for my relationship is their tenant who rents a room. Even though this does allow for not taking their income cont..
& resources into consideration for my benefits.
2) This was a thing with Wife & Three before when she was still in school for her first degrees, she would have qualified for benefits if they weren't living together, even though he wasn't really supporting her financially.

Cont...
I HATE that the person with more money is expected to be a caretaker of the person with less if there's any hint of RELATIONSHIP, which implies we stop being individual people if a less poor person is involved with us.
unroll please

So I've seen a lot of trans femme/women voices being boosted like fuck right now about the scarjo situation.

Folk have spoken about how this is the same issue that trans femme/women face.

But this is only partly true.
There is a part of this whole situation that doesn't happen as much any more to trans femme/women's stories (this exceptions to this tend to be TWOC who's stories are also still routinely erased or revised to center cis white folk)
It is the fact that everyone involved in production is calling Gill (scarjo's character) a woman.

The are actively erasing his identity. They are revising his story and erasing him completely.

#letusmarry I have another story shared with me by a person known as Z for anonymity sake.

Z prepared a statement so I will share their words in screen shot with a transcript to follow.

#spoonie #disabled
Transcript:
Hey! 😊 So, my partner and I have been together for 7 years. He’s at a job right now where he has insurance, but it’s a very unstable industry; he could be let go at any time, with no notice. #letusmarry
His insurance is crap; my medical costs over the next few years could potentially bankrupt us both if we got married. He makes decent money now, but not enough to financially support two people—one of whom is very sick—especially if he loses this job.

I've been engaged now for about 6 months and it is honestly heartbreaking to know that until things change I won't be able to get married.

My mom died before she was able to get married to her partner of 14 years.

#letusmarry
The terrible thing is my mom wanted so desperately to marry.

They where engaged for over a decade. A decade of waiting and hoping.

#letusmarry
Think about that

Over a decade of having to lie about your partner to the government.

Over a decade of living in fear of being caught and either face extortionate fines or prison.

Over a decade of having to have your children to lie.

So this is long and I am going to say right now I was an asshole.

So I was dumped by my then bf. He was older & dumped me for a more age appropriate girl which good for him. I was not happy but tried to stay friends & made friends with new gf.

She found out I was bisexual 1/?
And expressed a curiosity.

I saw my chance to hurt him & we fucked, Also in a small town women who liked women were few & far between, I was a teen, rampant hormones & hurt feelings do not make comfortable bed fellows.

It happened a few times.

2/?
Cut to few weeks later all 3 of us where meant to be going to a local free music festival together & meet other friends.

Im waiting near the entrance & they're late. Our friends are already inside I'm about to text them, when I'm approached by a girl I havent seen in a while3/?
