We are all in shock by another insidious school shooting. Also, if you are not in "Shock" over the virulent attack on our community, post mass shooting, you should. Ignoring the most obvious cause/effect (guns and political inaptitude), we have become an easy target. (pun intended). As my friend wrote me last week "The story played right into Jessie Watters bend to hurt trans-people."
Medical shock is when there is a life threatening condition or pain that occurs depriving the body of sufficient blood flow to meet essential organ functions. The body moves into survival mode.
Have you ever wondered why medical professionals say, "Stay with me"?
According to Reddit: "The Medical staff monitors consciousness, simply because conscious patients are easier to treat. You can ask questions, you can find out where it hurts. You can ensure the airway is clear and that they is breathing. You can monitor mental state. In "real life it is done casually and encouragingly. Another reason is to calm a patient with chat."
It appears that our community is in such a deep state of shock that consciousness is waning. Are we going to let this frontal attack land so brutally, that we will slip into retreat and social death? That is what our enemies want; invisibility, then disappearance.
Complacency is the enemy. Coming out / being out may be our best defense. There are more people that claim to have seen a ghost than have seen a transgender person. Although ghost can be friendly, transgenders are being painted as monsters. The world must know we are not mobsters! We are their bankers, lawyers, doctors, engineers, ministers, fathers... When inaccurate verbal assaults are made do you speak up?
The "stay with me!', implies we will die [socially], if there is no consciousness.
