1 - I can’t deal with the idea that the is NOT real, so I firmly refuse to look it up
2 - I cannot adequately express how much I fucking love this
Thanks for this post! Not only am I gladdened to read this story of success, but I’m super excited to learn about GLSEN. I have a trans teen in high school in rural America; this organization is exactly the kind of thing we need to be part of, and I had never heard of it before. Thank you so much!!
Why does the computer make you conclude OP is in their 50s? OP says in the title that they’re 46. I’m 41, and we had this computer at my rural elementary school.
Acknowledgement and acceptance are the first step towards change. I believe in you.
trying so hard to politely save this to show my husband in the morning, but I’m about to wake him up giggling over how much he’s going to love it, this is so silly
idk if you made this or are just reposting to share, but either way: thank you, I love it!
I like my memes like I like myself:

I don’t think you’re entirely wrong about none of them truly giving a shit about average Americans, but I would love it if you would reconsider the utility of voting at all. I’m a woman in Ohio with a trans kid, and the outcome of the last few state elections has directly affected us. Just like they weren’t playing around when they said they were coming for our rights, please know that they’re not kidding when they talk about banning pornography and birth control.
It’s one thing to not be actively helping as much as they promised (which is absolutely a thing that democrats do, I’m totally with you on that!), but it’s another thing entirely to be actively working to turn the United States into some kind of christofascist oligarchy. Please, please vote.
I think this is a brilliant idea! I’m sorry that I don’t have the knowledge or equipment to help, but this is very exciting and I want to cheer you on. Would you please keep us updated about the progress of the project?
Has anybody told you lately how proud they are of you? I’m just some old lady on the internet, but my kid is trans, and I’m so proud of him for being himself, and I’m proud of you too. Your dad may have been a bit of an ass about it, but you are brave - it takes so much courage just to be yourself for anyone, and so much more so for anyone who has anything other than the rich, straight, white identity idolized by so much of society. And yet here you are, with unsupportive parents, still dedicated to being you.
I’m so fucking proud of you. ❤️
Thank you so much, I’m going to see if I can find a copy!
Love you username btw - many hamburgers to you.
