it’s okay, I am a “lesbo”

I never officially came out to my parents but when I was 16 I could literally dance “born this way” in just dance with my eyes closed, so if they’re surprised that’s honestly on them

A.I. cannot tell you what it’s like to cut up a watermelon for later when you haven’t eaten all day

A.I. cannot tell you what a campfire feels like after a long cold day

A.I. cannot tell you what it’s like to relax after turning on the cruise control

A.I. cannot tell you that heartbreak is like being a crystal glass in a magician’s trick; you get the tablecloth pulled out from under you, and if you’re not careful, you’ll break for good

A.I. cannot tell you whether you need to see a doctor, or whether tea and ibuprofen will fix it

A.I. can’t tell you what it feels like for your heart to drop as your card declines at the dollar store

A.I. can’t tell you what it’s like to have a baby; the fear and the excitement

A.I. can’t show you the view from atop a difficult hike

A.I. can’t tell you that putting on your boots is the worst part of skiing, and ai can’t understand the physical pain of finally taking them off

A.I. doesn’t know what it’s like to help a stranger cross the street

Or to pay for the young man whose card declined at the dollar store

Or to share a meal you’re proud of with people you love

A.I. does not know that love is about trust

And grief is about trust being broken

A.I. cannot tell you what’s it’s like to be

Yknow whenever I hear someone mention “the trans debate” it just reminds me of when ppl said “the Jewish question” or “the n*gro problem”

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Edit cuz this blew up: if you comment something transphobic it will be reported and I will block you. This is supposed to be a safe space for trans people, no one wants to hear your half baked, hateful opinions
