Protect Trans Youth - Blog Posts

A little reminder for trans people in the UK based on everything that happened:

Just because your family is accepting of your identity or knows about it does not mean they understand the dangers. I just had an argument with my brother, because when I mentioned the fact I’d be at a far higher risk for being jumped now he didn’t believe it; said people in our area weren’t capable of that.

People in any area are capable of bigoted violence, so remember to warn your family of the dangers you’ll be facing and to be safe and well equipped to defend yourself when going out.

You CANNOT separate art from the artist when the artist is still alive and producing new media to profit off.

So on that note, do NOT watch the new Harry Potter series. Do not hate watch it. Do not watch it because “it’s going to be my childhood remade”. I do not care. Do not watch it. This is a direct move to erase the original trio who have all stood against jkr.

since it is also the Trans Day of Visibility, please think of the trans Palestinians, Dafuris, and Congolese who are being erased by genocide. Please think of the many vulnerable houseless trans people who are ignored in your own countries while money that could go towards housing them goes towards bombs and guns to further genocide.

How many people would have come to join our loving community and celebrate the day of visibility had their lives not been cut short or overtaken by war?

How many people could we house and feed with the money that goes to funding war?

Our bodies are not collateral damage.

We are not invisible. Our stories will not be forgotten.

We cannot be free until all of us are free!

Free Palestine

Free Sudan

Free Congo

Protect trans youth

I've never been more ashamed to be from Mississippi than I am right now and that is SAYING SOMETHING!

FUCK YOU, TATE REEVES🖕🖕🖕

respect trans kids 

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

This is why it is so important to go out and vote. We can't have people like this in power who think it's ok to take away the rights of others, just because they're ignorant or appealing to their base.

If you live in Texas and it is possible for you, vote this November. We need Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton out of power.

I'm unable to vote due to my age, but I still want my rights as a trans teen to be protected.

Today the governor of Texas released an official statement directing Family and Protective Services to investigate families of transgender minors on allegations of child abuse (with the intention of separating trans children from their families). It includes a “duty to report”, directing those who know or suspect the existence of a trans child to report it.

This is not a law, nor is it technically actively enforceable. But it is an official statement by a governor that WILL cause real consequences. It also emerges from all of the OTHER anti-trans legislation in action.

30/50 U.S. states are currently proposing legislation against the existence of trans minors (or sometimes people up to 21 years old).

As a trans person who transitioned as a minor in one of these states, I’ve been fighting against these laws for years with little to no news coverage. I am begging for people to care about this. These laws prohibit access to gender-affirming care, accuse families of trans minors of child abuse, jail doctors, and prohibit trans people from playing in sports. Some of these laws have already passed. Some are going to.

Here is a thread of resources in regards to what is happening in Texas right now.

Here’s a thread of GoFundMes of Texas families of trans children who are trying to move out of the state.

Here is a website where you can track these anti-trans bills in the U.S., see what is happening in your state, and see what action you can take.

Stay safe. Protect and uplift trans youth.

This right here- is what it’s about.

Rest in peace, Corei Williams.

He was 14, he had so much life left to live. He only wanted to be himself but harassment from transphobes became too much for him.

I hope for his family to find peace and calmness during their mourning.

Now more than ever < 3

Made this a while ago and never posted it online. There is a lot that could be said about the topic but the fury and pain make it hard to really express anything beyond well...the urge to protect our own.

It's not a choice & it never was.

Rest in peace Nex Benedict : January 11th 2008 - February 8th 2024

Something about that cop saying Nex was just as guilty as the girls who beat them up so badly they blacked out and how cops treat native youth.

Something about the media calling it a fight and not a murder, not a hate crime and how MMIWG2S+ are never looked for, never investigated, never seen as victims.

Something about the media portraying them as the aggressor and native youth always being seen as the aggressor, even in death.

Something about the hospital who released them despite going through head trauma and how the medical system ignores native people, and how the medical system was created through experimentation on native people.

Something about trans youth being told to “just leave” and Oklahoma being their homelands.

Something about Oklahoma legislature and two spirit people existing in Oklahoma before Oklahoma existed.

Something about Nex’s Indigenous identity being erased in every news article, every post, and how that was the stated goal of the USA upon which it was founded.
