#trans kids fucking deserve better. every single trans child on this planet deserves better

[uncanny-tranny]

I find it detestable that "trans children deserve to grow up to become adults" as a principle is considered to be controversial, up for debate

[eatsomebuttercups]

Adults. Are. So. Tiring.

Listen, no, I understand that they’re the ones running the world. They’re the ones who birthed us. I get that. I get that they sacrifice daily for us, the youth, but that doesn’t erase the bad things that they do. It doesn’t erase what they do to us. To the world.

Them raising us doesn’t erase the world they’re destroying. Adults telling us things doesn’t erase the millions of poor kids who can’t afford education and are in poverty because the adults won’t bother to do anything about it.

A few good adults doesn’t make up for thousands of bad adults who’re just fine with the kids of today being killed and mocked for our race, our religion, our sexuality, our money.

What the hell. If these people-these adults of the world-think that kids will stay silent about the deaths, the murders, the hate crimes committed against our friends, our FAMILY, they’re senile.

If they think we won’t speak up about the condition of our fellow humans, of our planet, of OUR future-not theirs-they’re wrong.

If they don’t think that I will not lay down my life, my childhood, for a better world, they’re wrong.

And I shouldn’t have to. I should never-I should never have to write this. I should be happy, right now: other kids should be happy right now. I should never have had to-or have to-speak up about the world right now. I shouldn’t. I am a child. I deserve to live my life, as a child, not be expected to save the world at twelve, but no. I don’t get that freedom. I have to act up and fight and argue, because if I don’t, other people won’t, and nothing will change.

I should not have to sit here and argue about racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty, transphobia, death-I should never have to argue about anything.

I should not have to SAY “black lives matter”, because that should be an understood thing. People of colour shouldn’t have to have special protection just because of their skin colour.

We shouldn’t have to have to protect trans and other LGBTQ+ kids, because they shouldn’t have to be protected.

We should not have to have donations to help and support dying kids, kids in poverty, kids without clean air, or food, or clean water. Because those kids should never have to be raised in those conditions.

I shouldn’t have to stand up to protect the world, and cite a million sources, about climate change and global warming. I shouldn’t have to say that we need to act now or die later. Because we should already be acting.

So, what the fuck? What the fuck. These adults, parents or not, expect us to solve the world’s problems, and what the fuck? Why is this our responsibility? You’re the ones who ruined the world for us. Adults are the reason I’m not doing what a child should. I should be getting pizza with my friends right now, in Sonoma with my brothers, I should be drinking a Pepsi while laughing with my friends, or at a classic movie night showing of ‘Rebel Without A Cause’ with my boyfriend. But no. I’m here, arguing with adults, who have every. Single. Source. In the world. Proving we’re dying.

So, don’t give us your sympathy. Don’t tell us we’re brave. Don’t say we’re annoying. Do SOMETHING. Donate. Fight. REACT. We’re not doing this for fun. Do you think I want to do this for fun? I just want to make sure that I’ll live longer. I just want that assurance. So, what. The. Fuck.
