Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
If someone wants to identify as female, THEY ARE FEMALE.
If someone wants to identify as male, THEY ARE MALE.
“But you were born as ___ So that-” NONE OF THAT.
“You still look like a-” STOP IT.
“Conversion therapy” is child abuse. There is no gray area. There is no wiggle room. The fuckers who practice it are abusers. The fuckers who send their children off to be “converted” are abusers. Assholes who say “I wouldn’t do it, but that’s their right as parents” are abuse apologists.
WHY DOES BEING GAY HAVE TO MAKE THINGS SO COMPLICATED WHY AM I EXPECTED TO FUCKING ANNOUNCE IT TO EVERYONE BC IT’S JUST ASSUMED THAT I’M STRAIGHT IF I DON’T WHY DO I HAVE TO HIDE RELATIONSHIPS FROM MY FAMILY WHY WOULD BRINGING WHO I LIKE OUT ON A REAL DATE OR TO PROM BE A BIG DEAL WHY IS IT 2014 AND THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE IM SO MAD
actually, you know what
don’t commit suicide because “people would miss you” and “everyone would blame themselves”
don’t commit suicide, for yourself, because you’re fucking awesome and you’re gonna be really fucking happy some day and if you commit suicide you’re never going to get to realize what it’s like to be completely in love with your life and yourself
you deserve to be alive for you, not for anyone else
*talks about u behind ur back but in a supportive way about how cool u are and how much i love u*
“Why do you flinch so hard?”
Maybe there was a time when someone wasn’t kidding when they swung at me.
yup. right up there with “why do you get so panicky when people raise their voice?” males particularly.
I hate that this is so accurate
I wonder if anybody’s actually had feelings for me, like actually got upset or mad over little things I did and got jealous and confused over me and thought about me on a regular basis. I feel like I’m the only person that ever really cares about anyone and that nobody’s ever felt that way for me.
that “18 is too late to transition it won’t be effective” stuff is actually all fucking lies
i can personally attest to that
if there’s one thing we as a community can do in the wake of leelah’s suicide it’s put forth more and more information on transitioning. it’s possible we can prevent at least some of these suicides by helping younger trans kids get properly informed

i just heard a blood curdling scream coming from my sisters room so i ran in there all worried and she looks up from her laptop and whispered, “i liked one of his photos from 2009”
this gets funnier as the years go by
I don’t know where this came from, but I will be writing down everyone’s username on a piece of paper, and then putting it in a jar. Every day in 2015, I will pull out one piece of paper, and I will message that person that day, the whole day. That way, I can actually make friends with my followers because I feel like I don’t know more than 99.9 % of you. So, REBLOG to have your name put in the jar. ;-; yay
writing them down, keep rebloging. SPREAD THE WORD
do u ever have a thought that’s so fuckin inappropriate that u feel like dumping a bucket of water on urself like. calm down, self. tone it down. think about jesus
tomorrow’s new years eve so don’t be shy to confess your undying love for me before the year ends
Imagine Clint Barton complaining about how fucking cold it was in Iowa when he gets back from his farm
and Tony just ‘You think you know cold??? I grew up in New York’
and Natasha’s like ‘You think you know cold??? Fuck you i’m russian. I know true cold.’
And then Steve’s like ‘..Well I hate to burst your bubble, Tash but…’
I wish I had the ability to make boys really nervous
holding a really sharp knife to their neck usuallly does the trick for me
as a boy I can confirm that this makes me really nervous
In light of Leelah’s death, I want every trans person out there to know that you deserve respect. You deserve to be called by your preferred name and pronouns. You deserve to wear the clothes you like. You deserve to have your friends and family at least try to understand. You deserve support, whether you feel you need it or not. You deserve to be whichever gender you identify as, without prejudice or fear.
You deserve to exist as YOU.
when something about someone seems off, trust your gut. you don’t want to wait for a reason that validates these feelings
when a boy tells you that you are too emotional for them, it is because they cannot handle thinking of you as a person. you are not the problem.
friends that ditch you aren’t your real friends
take things a day at a time.
it’s in your self interest not to say mean things about other girls
be selective about the people you do drugs with
Do not share news articles where Leelah Alcorn is misgendered.
If you cannot find one where she is not misgendered, share a tumblr post. Share the link to her blog. Make a post and share it. But do not be active in her misgendering.
@ trans boys i love u and ur perfect
@trans girls i love u and ur perfect
@folks that dont fit into the gender binary i love u and ur perfect
