Literally have an online petition against me from high school.
I got on homecoming court as a king nominee and every hick was like “a girl took a man’s spot !!!”
Got called “it” and it went viral around town. Kid got suspended for dehumanizing.
Right on the southern border.
I didn’t attend class my entire senior year.
Got kicked in the back of the head just walking down the hallway.
It’s okay. There was a lot of love to out shine the hate.
It still amazes me I went through all of that harassment.
Like all I did was cut my hair and start wearing a tie and suddenly I’m a threat to everybody?? Not like anyone bothered me before??
I was definitely a girl that didn’t fit in and felt so uncomfortable. Got picked on for being weird by the boys and ugly by the girls. Once I realized my gender identity I felt so much more comfortable and confident. Shouldn’t be brought down for being yourself.
Unfortunately I feel im back in that spot. Have been out of work due to discrimination and the last two work places were so unsafe. I’m back to being scared and anxious. Instead of being proud of how far I have come.
