Heya! It’s Me Again.

i was made fun of enough times by adults, by peers, for liking something and wanting to share it that i just. didn’t. anymore. 

dont fucking tease kids for liking things. even if you think its cringe. ESPECIALLY. if you think its cringe. because the way you speak and act towards them when they are sharing themselves with you STICKS and they will think of it years down the line.

“What’s that you’re drawing?”

*panicking* “It’s nothing, I’m sorry, I’ll put it away.”

“No it’s okay, I was just curious about it.”

“It’s nothing. I don’t want to get in trouble.”

“You’re not in trouble, I just thought it looked like a character from a video game I like.”

Her face *lit up* the second I gave her the smallest bit of approval. She started asking me if I’d heard of various AUs for Undertale, and I tried to follow along as she explained her favorites. I obviously had to keep an eye on the rest of the class, answering questions and helping with algebra, but each time I passed her desk she had more things to tell me.

if you’re masculine you’re gross and scary and ugly, if you’re feminine you’re confused and viewed as a sex fantasy and if you’re on T and are feminine then you’re just weird, cringy and viewed as an ugly caricature of a trans guy

if you’re straight then you’re a lesbian with extra steps and are tricking women, if you’re gay then you’re straight with extra steps and you’re tricking men

if you’re intersex then you aren’t seen as a trans man, but someone roleplaying as a trans man

if you see the issues we face and speak against them, then you’re a horrible misogynist who is a danger to women
