was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality
the root of all pain is attachment
If a child is so afraid of getting in trouble that they don't come to their parents when they make a mistake that could possibly put their health or even their life in danger, then those parents have failed.
If something goes wrong, and the first thing that child thinks is, "oh god, my parents are gonna kill me," then the parents have failed.
If a child is afraid of their parents, if the child sees their parents as an active threat instead of a source of safety and guidance, then the parents have failed.
A parents job is to protect, to teach, to guide.
If a parent makes themself a danger to the child, in any capacity, then that parent has failed.

If I told you someone was murdered in a high school bathroom, and the school did nothing to help, and the murderers were only suspended for two weeks, there would be a fucking uprising. A riot.
so why is it that nobody cares as soon as it’s the two-spirited (sorry for the prev mistake) kid?
The people who want to do something about it are scared, because it could have so easily been them. It’s still possible for it to be them.
because the murder won’t stop unless people start speaking up and saying that what happened was wrong.
We have to fight back, for Nex and for all of us. Because if we don’t speak up now, we could be silenced forever.
Rest in power, Nex
edit because apparently I have to do this: haters and people blaming Nex for their death and people deadnaming and misgendering in the comments I will remove your comments and then block you so stop

sorry for being weird and evasive. i was raised to believe that having wants and needs was a moral failing
