That Nb Kid That Got Beaten To Death In OK Looks So Much Like A Long Time Friend Of Mine That When I
That nb kid that got beaten to death in OK looks so much like a long time friend of mine that when I first saw the picture I was like "whoa that's [redacted] as a teenager" and then when I sent it to my friend her reaction was also "whoa that's me as a teenager???"
And that's the problem, isn't it. That kid looked identical to a cis friend of mine who is barely, barely, BARELY any amount of GNC. She's not hyper fem but she's also not particularly masculine any more than a typical rural Alabaman woman with too much shit to do to spend all day dolling herself up would be.
And that kid got beaten to death.
And buried under dead name and pronouns.
And I'm just kinda. Wondering where the safety and privilege is in that.
As I've said many times, I'm perfectly willing to talk about the areas in my life that have become safer as I pass with lore and more regularity. Now when are we going to talk about those who can't, or those whose gender expression isn't in passing, or those who have just begun their journey and haven't yet been able to do anything about it.
This kid looked just like my cis friend. They're dead now. If "looking cis" doesn't save you, what does?
