Something I Love Deeply And Hold Close To My Heart Is The Way Traits That Are Generally Seen As Disruptive

something I love deeply and hold close to my heart is the way traits that are generally seen as disruptive or undesirable can become previous to you just by virtue of belonging to someone you care about. patchy eyebrows and acne aren't ugly because they make me think of my first girlfriend. loud voices and vocal tics make me feel at home rather than annoyed because my best friend of a decade does those things too. trans women with facial and leg hair look just like my older sister. it's like every single person you meet is a reminder of the people you've cared about before.

I was kind of a judgemental kid and I feel like noticing this was my first step towards realizing that, you know, judging people's appearances to be "good" or "bad" and then holding that judgement against them was a dick thing to do. and I've come to love them so much, every little piece of my favorite people that I can find even when they're not there.

Im outraged and you should be too.

Recently in the state of Florida, Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis passed a law making it illegal for teachers to call students any name but their legal first middle and last name. Not even if its a shortened version for example if your name is Alexander your teacher cannot call you Alex without risking being fired and fined. Not only does this law apply to names but to preferred pronouns and gender. The only way you as a transgender or cisgender individual can get your teachers to call you by your "nickname" Is if you get a form SIGNED BY YOUR LEGAL GAURDIAN THAT LISTS THAT "NICKNAME" AND OR PREFFERED PRONOUNS. This law is fucking evil and is going to get so many trans youth murdered or dehoused. some Trans youth with cant get those forms signed without risking harm and its not a matter of "its just a nickname so get over it" because its not that simple. Im a non-binary individual and i go by the name of Max, this is not on my birth certificate yet i have such visceral sickening reaction to hearing my deadname not to mention i dont even recognize it. Ive been so uncomfortable the past few days because of all my teachers deadnaming me and i dont blame them because there is nothing they can do about it. So many teachers are leaving their professions because of what DeSantis is making them do to kids. I know my teachers dont want to out kids to their parents, i know my teachers dont want to deadname kids. I know my teachers love me. But he is taking away my right to my NAME like i am an object. I am not an object i am a CHILD. Hes also done things such as take away classes such as AP Psychology because it teaches on sexuality and AP African American history. He also wants to make sure we dont learn about the slavery period in U.S. History and wants us to teach that Slavery helped African Americans. Its fucking disgusting Please use your votes and make sure this fucker doesnt get into office because hes a fucking murderer

-Max (They/It) PS: Sorry for getting political but this is bullshit.

where is the website

Gonna hop in real quick on an MHA post because I find this funny. So the "huge" announcement after MHA ending on August 5th was actually a world-wide popularity poll. So MHA fans all over the world/not in Japan this is our time to shine.

The poll is going to go for a bit longer than a month, I believe it ends on September 30th. And even after you vote for a character, you can vote again after a certain time limit for the same/another character as many times as you want.

I've already seen so many posts, tiktoks, tweets on it. People voting for various characters and for crazy amount of times. But the single one common thing they all say

"We all know who's going to win this but I'm voting ____"

"We all know his ass is going to win for the 9th time"

"Voting for _____ (Bakugou's winning)"

And I think it's so funny lmao. Even the comments join in. Like this guy has been winning for 8 years(as he should).

But anyways I do have hope in Shoto or Izuku or at least Shigaraki.

Oh and the website so you can vote. There is also another contest of submitting fanart. The conditions to qualify and apply are all in the website.
