Sorry to be posting about KOSA again, I dislike getting involved in politics, but as a queer minor on the internet this is the one time i will.
I had a theory a while back that i considered withholding because it’s honestly really upsetting to think about. Realizing that it could even be a possibility hurt, and i’m sorry if it hurts you too.
I’ll keep it short. What if the governors who are trying to pass these bills know that cutting LGBTQ+ kids from information WILL encourage them to commit suicide, and they’re doing it to cleanse the “filth”? They’d have to find a roundabout way to end LGBTQ+’s future because they can’t just outright kill them.
I don’t know if it’s true, but it feels like it’d be pretty on-brand. Nevertheless, encouraging minors to off themselves in any way is RANCID, and even if they are trying to protect kids this is a shitty way to do that.
So how do we ACTUALLY keep minors safe on the internet?
TEACH THEM SHIT. Talk to them about how grooming happens, how to avoid getting into dangerous or illegal situations, how to be FUCKING KIND and MINDFUL, both because people are inclined to retaliate against rude comments even if they’re from children and because it’s just good to know how to be polite.
Wiping LGBTQ+ off the internet isn’t going to protect kids from a made-up threat of queer people brainwashing them into being gay. LGBTQ+ media isn’t going to make them gay either, because we grew up watching content with typical straight relationships and we still know who we are.
You know what i’ve seen firsthand? A little boy pretending to be trans like his big sibling. But that was okay, because at the end of the day he knew who he was.
Why do they think kids have no sense of their identity, and the notion that people can change their gender will immediately make them trans too? What significant damage will that do? Minors aren’t really allowed to get gender changing surgery besides puberty blockers so they can’t worry about kids “destroying” their bodies, and if they’re a functioning member of society then I don’t see the problem?? Maybe capitalism would benefit from accessible gender affirming care. Just sayin. More cash being circulated is better than a bunch of dead bodies :/
I love trans voices. I love pre-HRT and “started HRT a month ago” and sore voices lowering and carefully trained voices and I love trans laughter and trans singing and I love the in-between androgyny of some voices and I love MY voice and I love my friends’ voices. I love husky voices and medium voices and high pitched voices and gravely voices. I love range changes and I love the expressiveness. I love trans voices.
Hallo, i am so grateful for the help you all render to me and my cats life as a transgender🏳🌈 refugee with pets isn't easy but with most of you by my side i believe i will survive. I am currently short of milk and meat for my little kittens and my necessities like food plus other basics which requires 300$ hence that's why I am here again to ask you my people for help.
If you can help in any way please donate on my gofundme page https://gofund.me/4b7d0709 or please share to whoever can . I will be so glad for your helping hand
i think it should be illegal to not allow an adblocker on your site and im not kidding
every day i remind you that shame and remorse and fear are your friends you just have not learned how to seat them at your table yet. that of course any feeling you let fully consume you would be unhealthy it is in the same way you must rotate crops in a field to not damage the earth you grow them in. happiness alone is not healthy pride alone is not healthy either sometimes things will be bad and you will FEEL bad. those feelings will lead you to a better personhood and the ability to feel good once again!! but you cannot skip over them!!!!
The older I get, the less I hate GT Vegeta's mustache. Society just wasn't ready for him to be even gayer at the time.
i mean this completely seriously but… a cup of coffee can save your life a little, a shower can save your life a little, making your favorite meal can save your life a little…….little things actually add up to really big things in the long run if you let them, the secret to surviving everyday is infusing a little bit of magic into the mundane i truly believe that
wanna do some deeply problematic and fucked up kinks like kissing each other
