The constant struggle for trans youth today is that education is not geared towards them. It is acceptable to pick on and belittle transgender individuals in the US in a way nearly no other country accepts. We have seen a regression as of late, and this accepting of this condition is what has led to more and more trans youth to become entirely discouraged from attempting to aim for higher education. It is also not so uncommon for trans youth to be estranged from their families, often either forced out or breaking away due to hostility displayed by their families. I myself have experienced this hostility, have been hurt by it, I am scared every day that one day I will no longer be payed for and my life will fall away from me. Nobody should have that fear, this should not be treated as acceptable.
And to any trans folk here and listening, youāre loved and there is relief. There are scholarships geared to us, such as the transgenderfirst scholarship. Hang in there, its not good now but it gets better.
It has to.
