i just took a few old selfies from my phone to post for today !! happy trans visibility day to everyone . time for my big Gay essay
im quinn , im 14 years old living in new jersey, and im non binary ( they/them ). i remember almost exactly 1 year ago , searching google for “genderfluid” . i almost cried, because i found that there was a word for how i felt. ive always had behavior when i was very young that hinted i was non binary. even when i didnt know i still knew. in 2nd grade, someone asked me if i was a boy or a girl, i replied “half boy + half girl”. and at age 5, when people asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up, i said i wanted to be either a ballerina or a firefighter, and they all laughed at me. everyday i have to go through constant abuse, misgendering , and hearing transphobic/queerphobic language even when not directed towards me. im not out, i dont feel safe. im still awaiting the time that trans and non binary ppl can freely be themselves with no censorship or shame. when we can use bathrooms that match our gender without disruption. when theres an “X” option on legal forms, people ask for pronouns just as they do for names, there are gender neutral bathrooms everywhere, hormones and surgery are more accessible, and there are laws that protect us instead of trying to legalize being murdered. i cant wait for that time , keep holding on and keep fighting.
i love all my siblings, sisters, and brothers. i love u all so much and i want u to know that u r so important and beautiful and loved and i know its hell to exist right now. ur brave for making it this far.
