Hello to all LGBTQIA2s+ people in the US, I'm looking for life experiences and perspectives from recent years

Hello, I am Stella an 18-year-old trans woman from Illinois. I am looking at the experiences of other queer people in recent years. I am cataloging stories, perspectives, and events in a paper I am working on titled "Being Queer in the U.S and How it Affects Daily Life in the Modern Age"

Sample

My goal with this paper is to 'with my limited reach' help others understand what it's like to be, well, queer in the US. Feel free to share

Parents, spouses, partners, and families of queer people are welcome to share as well. Means of Submission Comments Reblog DMs TheMagicFolf@AOL.com Survey https://forms.gle/rxqUp4ViPsShqeeD6 If you are comfortable provide the following State/US Territory/District Sexuality Gender Pronouns

You will remain anonymous as not even your username will be shared.

By replying to this post you give me express permission to use your reply in my paper

Like many non-Americans, I tend to mostly hear bad stuff about the States, but no country is 100% bad (or 100% good). So, Americans on tumblr, please tell me one thing you like about your place of living/State/the country.

Reblogging with adding the good thing is preferred, but commenting works too.

Alabama: Hold on! I’m having one of those things... a headache with pictures.

Georgia: ...What the fuck?

Oklahoma: They mean they're having an idea.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

Edit: Now that we're talking about it, look. There is all the countries ratification dates, along with considerations for their laws.

And you can check the convention here.

Edit 2: For those in the US who want to check their state's laws compliance to the convention, there is this site.

Edit 3: The map source btw. Its from wikipedia.

Thank you people in the notes for the info and image desc.

Palestinian activists get their message across on Londons iconic Tower Bridge landmark- one of the cities most historic buildings. We need a ceasefire now.

They need to remove the "convicted felon" option from job applications, and anything else that requires you to say whether or not you have a criminal history. Because CLEARLY if we can have a convicted felon in the white house, then convicted felons everywhere should be allowed to get jobs, should be allowed to vote, etc.
