i wanna use this for something but idk what
I’ve created a website with a collection of stories, art, etc from trans people and im trying to get the word out. When you google anything about trans, mostly all you get it terrible websites about psychologists saying there’s something wrong in our brains, parents hating their kids, parents being scared for their kids, or just plain misinformation. You may find a few good ones, but the sludge you have to go through is too much. My goal is to create a place for trans people to share their experiences with the world, and give hope to each other. The website is also to teach cis people, because education is the first step to understanding and accepting us, and here they can learn from the best source, the trans people themselves. The url is https://greysonthagard.wixsite.com/transkidstruggles , and the website is always open for submissions of stories, art, poems, memes, or anything else you’re willing to share about your story. i want to give us a real voice, please help me make a place for that. Thank you
BILL NYE can’t stress the importance of Climate Change enough
i spent like ten minutes last night just finding a bunch of stuff for an outfit that’s probably never gonna happen. i was tired. i have no excuses
you know you’re tired when you double-misspell your own email to log into tumblr fucking hell
Hello world! I’m here, I’m queer. 💙💛💖 I decided to make a poem to introduce myself to tumblr. My name is Sinylene (but not irl) and my goal is to make life funner. Don’t judge me; poetry’s hard! I wish i had a business card. That would be easier than this.
i was scrolling through my old posts and i saw this
holy crap. i just realized just how truly awful some people are. it’s worse to say ‘i accept you’ but be a douche about it than to openly not accept them (not to extremes, obviously)
My mom “accepts me”, but she “knows I only chose to be bisexual so I didn’t have to break up with my girlfriend when she started transition.”
My dad “accepts me” but often reminds me that “monogamy is important no matter who you’re attracted to” because bi girls are more likely to cheat.
My girlfriend’s mom “accepts her” but won’t use her chosen name and only uses the right pronouns half the time.
My pan friend’s mom “accepts her” but still calls her girlfriend her “best friend” because she “knows my friend will find the right boy someday”
A gay guy I met in class has parents that “accept him” but when he said he was being bullied for his sexuality said that “he should just be less public about it.”
None of us have been kicked out. We still talk to our parents. They give us food and clothes and help pay college tuition. They haven’t threatened to kill us. They haven’t actually killed us.
They “accept us”
But no they don’t.
Not kicking your kid out/not murdering them cannot be the standard of acceptance. It’s not accepting. It’s almost nothing.
If you want to be a wonderful accepting parent to a LGBTQ+ kid, you have to listen to what they say and trust them. You have to do your research and understand that this is who they are and it’s not up to them. You have to do anything you can to make their lives easier because the rest of the world is already going to make them go through hell.
And if you’re not ready to trust your kid and love them no matter what, don’t call yourself progressive or accepting.
You’re just a dick.
I’ve re-done this many times, might as well do it again. Hi! I’m Sinylene, or at least that’s what I like to go by on the internet. I also go by Noel. I use she/her. I don’t post super often, and when I do it’s probably either serious, a story, or a meme.
