@ every single trans/genderfluid/bigender/non-binary/agender teen that isnt safe coming out to their family: i love you, i am proud of you, you are made of all the good things in the universe, and you are going to rock it every day. i am rooting for you all the way, every day. go out there and kill it. i believe in you.
“Conversion therapy” is child abuse. There is no gray area. There is no wiggle room. The fuckers who practice it are abusers. The fuckers who send their children off to be “converted” are abusers. Assholes who say “I wouldn’t do it, but that’s their right as parents” are abuse apologists.
dear trans teens
You fuckin’ got this. You sooo got this. You’re tough as fuck and can make it through. Don’t ever hesitate to message me either.
The first transgender suicide hotline in the US
For the first time, there is a hotline in the US that is staffed entirely by transgender people, to serve transgender people. Everyone in the trans community needs to be spreading this around. Lives could be saved.
You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860
I want a fucking movement.
I want protests and laws and reforms and programs for trans and nonbinary rights.
I want transgender and nonbinary deaths to make just as many people angry as it did for Micheal Brown or Eric Garner.
I want more people to be educated on how gender works so we never have to have another slaughter like this again.
Make a big fucking deal about this. Don’t shut up about it. Give these deaths meaning. Give the world hell.
The sorrow of parents who drive their children to suicide is not valid. They are not mourning for their child, they are mourning for the child they wish they had.
