not be like “ugh the Youths” but i think kids nowadays have gotten Too Comfortable on the internet.

like i see these tweets on twitter like “hey im 14 and i just got kicked out pls rt so i can find somewhere to stay im in x state/city” and like HOLY SHIT i cannot emphasize enough how incredibly dangerous this is. you’re broadcasting to EVERYONE that you are young, vulnerable, and desperate AND information on how to find you!!!! like i know you meant for that to be just for your friends on twitter but that’s a public tweet!!! ANYONE could see it!!! like I saw it and i have no idea who you are you are not in my circle and yet!!! so like WHO ELSE has seen it!!!

This girl on among us have me her number and turns out she’s 13. It was like 3am and she proceeded to tell me the name of her town, what school she went to, both of her parents jobs, how she did in class, what her home life is like, the first names of all of her friends, ect. All of this mostly unprompted. The smartest thing she did was ask to FaceTime me to make sure I ‘wasn’t a 40yo catfish’ and she talked about the other kids that she had met on among us this way.

To any kids out there: I know that quarantine is stressful and we’re all depressed and lonely bu please please please don’t give out your information to strangers on the internet, and if you do there are dozens of safer options than just giving everything to everyone and just hoping for the best

My little sister is 14 and she gave out her information to the wrong person who shared it somewhere and she can now count on two hands the number of teens and young adults who have asked for nudes and favors and personal information. It’s really worsening her anxiety and anorexia so please I’m begging you don’t give out any of your information unless you explicitly trust the person you’re giving it to.

Stranger danger yall. And if you’re ever wondering what you could do to keep yourself safe, here’s a list.

1. Use an alias (don’t have to but doesn’t hurt, especially when you have a unique name)

2. NEVER give your last name! (E.g. if you’re Jessica, aint no way they gonna be able to find you without your last name. Don’t risk it)

3. NEVER give your address (things like country is still vague enough. But if you tell anyone your street or something super identifiable)

4. You don’t have to post photos of yourself! (You can if you want to but remember to be careful! Street names and addresses should not be visible in these photos!)

5. Block creeps. Anyone that ya getting bad vibes from, just block em. Don’t be scared about being “mean”. Protect yourself.

This is all from the top of my head so if anyone wants to add go ahead. Let’s help protect the younglings.

the only difference between the terms bisexual and pansexual is that bisexual has a long and rich history of activism and trans inclusion, whereas pansexual has a long and rich history of transphobia and lying about what bisexuality means to remain culturally relevant

hey there, the uk government is trying its hardest to make it practically impossible for trans people to transition, here’s a twitter thread and two carrds that further explain the situation (click on the underlined parts for links)

+ only if you are a british citizen or a uk resident please sign this petition that will help reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow trans people to self id w/out need for a medical diagnosis and to allow nonbinary identities to be legally recognized.

if you are NOT a british citizen/live in the uk DO NOT sign the petition as the goverment will use invalid signatures as an excuse to dismiss the petition and the GRA will not be discussed in parliment.

please spread this post, time for trans people in the uk is very quickly running out

I just read the twitter thread and saw “this is an issue for non-dysphoric trans people” and I just

That’s the reason why the UK government is doing this. Stop claiming that you can be trans without dysphoria because that’s just making shit worse for trans people. This is a direct cause of this shit. Yikes.

[vampish-glamour]

This is trying to strike fear into actual trans people who have nothing to worry about, too. It’s one of those “oh my god trans rights are being taken away” things… when really, trans rights aren’t being touched. If you keep trying to scare people about things like this, they won’t believe you if governments actually try to repeal trans rights.

If you are trans—meaning you have some degree of gender dysphoria—you have nothing to worry about. I promise. Please don’t fall for this.

“To allow trans people to self ID without need for medical diagnosis”…. self ID for something as life changing as transgenderism is not a good idea. It’s literally changing your legal identity. And yes, a medical diagnosis is needed, because being transgender—having gender dysphoria—is medical. That doesn’t make it a bad thing, and if you think medicalized=bad that’s your problem, and you should reevaluate. Not to mention that the treatment for gender dysphoria, medical transition, is highly medical and should be treated with care. You wouldn’t be able to walk into the doctor’s office and ask for any other specific medications without a diagnosis saying you needed them, so why should it be different for hormones and hormone blockers?

Anyways, the UK government is doing the right thing here. They aren’t making it “practically impossible” for trans people to transition… they’re making it harder for cisgender people to mistake their experience for being trans, and cause irreversible damage to their body with an unneeded transition that would give them gender dysphoria. They’re acknowledging that transgenderism is a medical issue (again, not a bad thing), and needs to be treated as such. Stop trying to spread fear and misinformation.

TikTok is a shithole.

Have I said how much I hate TikTok yet?

It has become this app that makes gen Z think that they’re some group of superheroes that are gonna change the world or whatever. Going to protests is not special. Every generation thinks they’re so amazing, and every generation has done a lot of good stuff too.

They’re getting MATCHING TATTOOS? Literally for what- ? Worst of all is, that it’s literally a nazi symbol too. 

Can we stop pretending that tiktok is an amazing app that gives kids confidence? Because all it does is create people with an individuality complex who bully everyone who doesn’t fit their “alternative liberal” standard.

I’m not even gonna start talking about the romanticizing of mental illnesses, trauma, self harm and eating disorders, sexualizing of minors or how toxic their “cancel culture” is. I fucking hate tiktok so much, it ruins teenagers their mental health. 

sincerely- a teenager.

For the lot of you who refuse to make a google search, here is the bisexual manifesto, published in 1990, 12 years before the modern pan label was made on a blog post in 2002:
