Mississippi Supreme Court Allows Judge to Block Name Changes for Trans People Under 21

15-year-old girls can get married in the state, but trans people may have to wait until they’re 21 years old to change their name.

This is what we are talking about when we say that talking about young adults like they're not old enough to make their own decisions hurts the legal adulthood of all young adults.

Mississippi, unlike most states, does not consider a young person an adult until 21. What does this mean? Well, among other things...

But the courts denied the name change request of SBM, a trans man with the full support of his parents in his transition, because they found 18 years old is not an adequate age to ensure “maturity” and warrant such a “life-altering” decision.

Got that? Because he's not considered an adult, he can't change his name (even with the full support of his parents). The State has decided that he's just not old enough to change his name.

Is this ruling based in transphobia and will it likely not hold up on appeal? Both things are probably true. That doesn't change the fact that this rhetorical line is exactly what's being used to strip rights from young adults.

Also...

The plaintiff may still be able to cross state lines to get a name change, but it is unclear the extent to which Mississippi would honor it. In addition, it threatens to thrust Mississippians of all backgrounds into the epicenter of a constitutional crisis. The ruling and its rollout could call the 26th Amendment into question, which lowered the voting age to 18 after the mass conscription of young people during the Vietnam War. It also tests the Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires states to respect the records-keeping of other states (such as name changes and marriage licenses); Mississippians’ 14th Amendment right to due process; and an individual’s First Amendment rights.

Republicans are already trying to roll back the voting rights of young people because people under 25 overwhelmingly vote not-Republican. Just... for fuck's sake, y'all. The myth that people's brains "aren't done developing until 25" is just that: a myth.

Stop trying to make young adults into children. You're giving away your rights and the rights of others.

Holy shit!!!! Where's the fic!? I can imagine the angst potential and it is SENDING ME! Like the obvious angst that comes with not actually unrequited love fics and the sacrifice themself for their love trope as well as the will they won't they death thing but also the overall arc of starting by going back to the northern water tribe. The place of so many unresolved issues for especially Sokka but also Zuko given how he's trying so hard to atone for past mistakes he and his people made. He may even take the blame of Yue as it was him and his people that attacked that night. Even though it was ultimately Zhaos fault for how that night turned out it would be in character for Zuko to take the blame on himself especially when directly faced with the loss Yue's death caused. Of course seeing Sokka having a hard time over past memories would make it that much worse and when Sokka throws himself in front of an attack Zuko feels he ultimately deserves? The guilt and self-loathing would be SO much worse. When Sokka is grievously injured by this to the point no one knows if he will survive? That guilt and self-loathing rolls up into an intense ball of pain. There's also the regret of not being brave enough to tell Sokka how he felt before it was possibly too late. All this combined would mean that if Sokka didn't survive, Zuko would have a hard time finding the will to himself. Severely needing someone to confide all of this to and reassuring himself that Sokka couldn't hear him anyway, he starts to talk. After all he can't do anything about the majority of his problems but not being more open with Sokka? That's something he can work on, even if it all falls on deaf ears. However Sokka is much more aware than Zuko knows as we are well aware. While in the spirit world Sokka is able to receive that closure from Yue but is forced to listen to the one he loves unknowingly bare his soul to him and Sokka finds that Zuko is struggling much more than he assumed he would. Now confronted with Zukos pain as well as his own from not being able to fix it, that pining angst would be almost UNBEARABLE! We all know Sokka is a fixer. When he sees the people he loves in pain, he has this urge to make it all go away. Knowing there is nothing he can do, the crushing feelings of helplessness would be nearly overwhelming. However the reassurance from Yue that it's ok to move on and that what happened to her was not his fault would ultimately be very important for Sokka's character. Plus when Sokka and Zuko reunite and we finally get sweet sweet communication and confirmations of "yes, I heard everything. Yes I love you too. Yes I'm okay," it'll just be *chef's kiss*🤌

Ok a zukka fic idea: so after the war Sokka decides to stay in the fire nation with zuko. But first he does have to cover some things in the water tribes. He spends some time in the south trying to make tentative alliances and treaties and such. He also helps oversee the reconstruction effort and migrations from the sister tribe. He takes a short break to spend time in the fire nation (for business only... not because he misses a certain fire lord...). (1) - 🐼

So he goes back to the fire nation before he heads up north, to meet with other nobles that aren’t in the southern water tribe. And zuko comes with him. They are both pining still, because they are both idiots. But one day (either the first day or sometime during their visit) someone tries to attack zuko. Mainly Bc they still blame him for the previous damage or just Bc he’s the from the fire nation or he’s the fire lord. I also think it would make it interesting if it was yue’s fiancé. (2) -🐼

So someone tries to attack zuko, but right before zuko can react or the attack hits him, sokka jumps in the way to protect zuko. And he falls off into the water. When they retrieve him he’s unconscious and barely alive. The healers can only do so much and he remains unconscious. We see zuko promptly break down over this. And he regrets never telling sokka how he feels and stuff. And maybe we sokka is aware of what’s happening around him. Maybe he’s in the spirit world. (3) -🐼

So sokka’s unconscious...... and he’s getting worse. The healers notice this. Zuko notices this. Sokka knows this. But the in the spirit world we see Yue. And she saves him. Kinda like how the moon did that for her before she does that for sokka now. And he wakes up with white hair and maybe a moon marking or something. Then we see the aftermath. Sokka has to deal with Yue saving him and seeing her again. Zuko has to deal with almost losing sokka. (4) -🐼

They end up together ofc. But yeah idk. What do you think? - 🐼

this is SUCH A GOOD IDEA and it’s a really clever way to incorporate @peachieflame’s moon spirit sokka into a post-canon zukka au! i seriously love everything about this.

maybe seeing yue again would really cement in sokka’s brain how much his love for her was mostly infatuation, and how what he feels for zuko goes so, so much deeper than that. her and sokka would have many a beautiful conversation during their time together, i think.

she’d do something that would allow them to visit sokka’s room where he’s been healing. they’d be able to see zuko sitting at his bedside, holding one of sokka’s hands between both of his, knuckles against his lips.

in the spirit world, yue and sokka would talk about deep stuff, but i think they’d also have a lot of fun, too. finally yue would be able to show someone all the fun spots in the spirit world that she’d never been able to share with anyone else. she kind of wants sokka to stay with her forever, but she knows that ultimately, it’s not his time yet. i think deep in her heart, she’d know that it’s her duty to give some of the moon spirit life energy to sokka, and bring him back to the land of the living.

(i like to think sokka would wake up with a massive mark/tattoo because of the time he spent in the spirit world - a koi fish across the expanse of his back and flowing water that would curl over one shoulder and down his arm, and stretch down his opposite leg, to remind him what saved his life.)

throughout his time in the spirit world, sokka would have checked up on zuko SO MUCH that he’d be pretty damn sure that his feelings are returned. he’d have overheard so many conversations and little snippets that zuko would whisper to him. (maybe when zuko is specifically speaking to him, sokka can hear him no matter where in the spirit world he is. he’ll be sitting on a tree stump with yue and he’ll just hear zuko’s quiet rasp of “please, sokka. please come back to me.”) sokka would want to get back right then and there, but yue holds his wrist so he can’t get very far, and says, “not yet.”

one day, yue will press a hand to sokka’s heart, and say, “it’s time.” she presses harder, and oh, that kind of hurts. he feels a prickling sensation across his back and arm and leg, and a burning across his whole body that he hasn’t felt since the ice water dragged him into its depths.

but then he’s blinking his eyes open and zuko’s right there, and then they kiss and talk about how head over heels in love they are and live happily ever after 😌

The life cycle of a chronically ill aspiring author

Aka: me rn 👁💧👄💧👁

i hope that our few remaining readers give up on that unfinished wip from seven years ago

and i hope we come up with a failsafe plot that piss off the dumb few that keep commenting all the ways they'd write it differently

in my life i hope i lie and tell everyone the next chapter will be out on time

and i hope i write (i hope we all write)

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

bro to this day if I'm out with my mom I get her to order for me cause SoCiAl AnXiEtY.

I'm the type of person that will go through the menu to find the simplest thing for me to order so I don't take up to much of the waiters time.

I get in a full blown panic trying to leave the check out line as fast as possible so I'm not holding anyone up. I'll have my purse half open, my change sticking out of my wallet, things dangling from my hands, all so I can get out of everyone's way as fast as possible.

Im sure most people either think I'm crazy, a harried mother of five, or a kidnapping victim.

one thing about me is that i am viscerally against inconveniencing retail and food workers… the checkout guy just mistakenly asked to see my ID because he thought my sparking water was hard seltzer and my ass just showed it to him instead of saying anything. i think i would rather die then correct him in his home turf

Like we all know you're gonna pay me minimum wage at best, so is this just an option to taunt me? Do you only have this question so you can laugh at me and my foolish hopes?

Dollar store general manager, you are a cruel oppressor indeed.

I hate applying for jobs. “desired salary for this role” one billion dollars next question
