I am probably one of the youngest individuals on this thread at the age of 23. I grew up in prime tumblr and gender woke bullshit during middle and high school. I had two classmates transition. One fell off the face of the earth and I actually work with her mom! Apparently she’s doing better and doesn’t really align with “trans” anymore. The other one was a ladies man in preschool and middle school, then gay, and then our senior year started transitioning. They put in so much effort and I supported them! All of my friends supported trans rights so I did too. They all had tumblr accounts so I did too. I live in the Bible Belt, if you know you know, and I believed being on the opposite spectrum regarding politics and beliefs was
the ultimate fuck you to my parents. I thought they were bigots and all those nice words I read on tumblr and Twitter. I know I’m rambling but seeing what this girl is going through is just
so sad and it upsets me! I could’ve been this girl, easily. My self esteem was shot and I found comfort online and in my very liberal friend group. I pray this child gets off Reddit and her mom takes her seriously now. She deserves a second chance. Idc if this makes me MATI or an absolute retard sperg but I just had to say something. Seeing all of the people around me do this shit is crazy and then parents are now abandoning their families and ruining their kids futures. I grew up with a not so nice dad but if you are a parent and got this far, please love your children but be their parent FIRST and a friend second
