Transphobia truly is a disgusting thing. Today I sat on the bus with a friend of mine who is in middle school. Everyone on the bus shouted nasty things towards him, saying he wasn't human. I asked him if he was okay and I tried de-escalating the situation but they just wouldn't stop. One of the last things he was told before getting off the bus was to kill himself. It's absolutely horrible how trans kids are treated in the US, and it just breaks my heart that I don't have the power to do anything. I am not old enough to vote, and despite the elections results, I still think it's important for all of us to advocate for those who might not feel safe having a voice. Trans people get harassed, hurt, killed every day. We need to stop this.
Being trans is beautiful and anyone who believes other wise isn't human.
