I do want to say that I looked into this and it’s just for trans people trying to go to other countries right now if they think your passport or whatever doesn’t match your “biological” gender. That being said it isn’t any less scary. History has taught us this is just the beginning when it comes to targeting us.
To all the trans youth: I know this is terrifying, and sadly they aren’t going to just leave it at this. This is why my partner and I have been very loud about being queer. We must. There is NOTHING wrong with us, and we don’t deserve persecution simply because we exist and don’t fit in their box.
Remember though- they have gone after our community for almost 500 of years and WE ARE STILL HERE. They cannot silence us. They cannot take away our pride. They cannot break our souls. I promise the queer adults are doing everything we can to fight for you. We won’t ever stop fighting for our community and especially queer youth.
Please stay strong, and try not to internalize their hate and bigotry. You are not alone, and if you have supportive family please reach out to them. Spend time together, do your best to still be a kid. I’m so sorry any of you have to see this, and I’m so sorry any of this is even a thing. I and many others have been fighting for our community and we won’t stop.
Try to enjoy being a kid. Please. I had to grow up too fast. I was basically a functioning adult when I was 12 because I -had to be- in order to keep my little sister safe, and make sure we kept a roof over our heads. My sister is also trans. No matter how much hate exists- I PROMISE you are all loved.
If anyone needs help finding resources for support in your area, or safe spaces that help queer kids who may not have a safe place to go try contacting a queer support hotline called the Trevor Project. I will link other sources at the bottom. They can help you find resources and they have a website. There are other sources out there, and some states have programs that provide housing to queer youth that have been kicked out, or are not safe in their current environment.
Please stay strong.
important resources for queer youth!!!
