It happened under the pressure of trans bigotry, silenced, alone, and made out to be the monster by my family wielding police reports, people placing restraining orders, my family threatening to have me arrested when going homeless and begging for their help. I have been systematically kept from my daughter by my sister, Daryn Garrido, my mother, Robin Garrido, my father, Grant Garrido, as well as my extended family in California and Washington by the surnames of ‘Leon-Guerrero, Spears, Hover, Mason, and Argust’. Restraining orders were put on me that need genuine reversal. I need to be protected from the people that emplaced them once this is taken care of. Systems of Washington State need to learn from this too. My disability became a saddest one—I’m traumatized by my organizational dysfunction, its small focus window, and my isolation, into being highly anxious about navigating my search for help alone. Daphne [email protected] PreparationsThe Livelihood PenaltyFocus: Financial stakes, due process failure, and the mechanics of disability-driven poverty.Core: Detail how the structural collapse occurred when executive dysfunction prevented attendance at a mandatory administrative hearing. By treating an administrative failure as willful non-compliance, state systems actively stripped a vulnerable individual of baseline survival benefits, triggering housing instability and total economic displacement.Urgency: High. Highlights how systemic gaps turn manageable medical realities into immediate, catastrophic poverty and homelessness.The Diagnostic Service GapFocus: Washington State’s provisional crisis-care model and ADA Title II violations.Core: Explain the “unspecified psychosis” and provisional diagnosis trap used by state crisis teams. Because full diagnostic evaluations are systematically underfunded and delayed by extensive waiting lists, individuals with severe cognitive or executive conditions are left without the formal paperwork required to unlock protective legal accommodations. This structural failure directly violates ADA Title II and the state’s mandate to integrate vulnerable adults.Urgency: Critical. Establishes that the behavior punished by courts and family members was a direct result of state-level medical gatekeeping and systemic neglect.Recontextualizing the Record•Focus: Criminalization of disability and the reversal of past restraining orders.Core: Challenge the validity of the civil restraining orders issued against you. Argue that treating a severe neuro-psychological crisis as a volitional act of misconduct violates basic principles of restorative justice. To clear the record, the timeline must show that these legal actions were used in place of proper disability accommodations.•Urgency: High. Necessary to clear legal hurdles that continue to obstruct your access to housing, stable employment, and familial reconnection.The National Scope: Trans Motherhood and State ComplicityFocus: National civil rights impact, intersectional vulnerabilities, and systemic discrimination.Core: Anchor the national relevance of this case on the lynchpin concept: StateComplicity with the Unlawful Executive Order Against Trans Women and Especially TransMothers of Daughters. Detail how the intersection of an unaccommodated mental health disability, severe executive dysfunction, and institutional bias results in the extreme weaponization of family courts. When the state ignores its duty to protect and accommodate, it becomes complicit in the total fracturing of parental bonds, leaving a trans mother and her daughter exposed to severe, ongoing isolation, social punishment, and targeted hate-crime complications.Urgency: Maximum. Elevates the case from an isolated regional dispute to a critical, testable precedent for intersectional civil rights enforcement nationwide. This is a public episode.
