It’s easy for the government to go after trans kids because trans kids won’t speak out on the internet- because that would ruin their lives and expose them to millions of obsessed Nazis Most of their families just quietly moved instead, hoping to have a normal life elsewhere. So I speak for them. My life was already ruined and I have nothing to lose. Politicized transphobia took everything from me- my family, my community, my dreams. You know me from Twitter as the raunchy trans girl who hates republicans, but I didn’t start that way. I wanted to build a house in Vilonia Arkansas next to my parents on our plot of land. I wanted a wife and kids who had my parents in their lives as grandparents. I wanted to always stay involved in my community and church. I volunteered to coach basketball for home schooled kids, which I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I wanted a quiet life, I never wanted to be famous. All of that went up in flames when I finally came out. I knew it wouldn’t be good but I hoped maybe…if I showed them the scientific research and how the Bible doesn’t actually condemn trans people…maybe they’d let me stay. But they would rather kill me. So now I try to speak for the young trans people of the future. I hope one day they’ll grow up in a world where they can have a normal, quiet life. I hope one day the government leaves them alone.
