‘trans kids feel better if they can be themselves’

‘dogs feel good when you don’t hit them’

‘you don’t feel hungry if you eat’

People are making fun but we all know a horrifying number of parents actually do need to be told this and seeing it for probably the first time in their entire lives in an ordinary news outlet can get them thinking.

Considering how many people ONLY believe something once a scientific study demonstrates it, no matter how self-evident or common-sense it may seem, yes, someone did need to do this research and publish it.

Every time a study like this comes out people have this attitude like it’s a bunch of clueless, stuffy old scientists wastefully demonstrating something everyone “already knew” but the truth is studies like these are by people who passionately want to make the world better by systematically debunking common foundations of prejudice.

A lot of parents refuse to accept their children are trans because they think, ‘statistics show trans people are completely miserable, I can’t let my kid be trans!’, not realizing their kid is trans whether they ‘let’ them or not, and that it’s a lack of acceptance that’s the problem, not being trans itself. So, yes, studies like this very much matter, even though it should be common sense.

The only thing I’m committed to right now is bettering myself.

A Midstate high school student had the experience of a lifetime at her prom Friday night, but not in the way her family expected.

In Pennsylvania, a lesbian high schooler was asked to leave her prom because she wore a suit instead of a dress.

Aniya Wolf’s gender expression was never a problem before; her school’s dress code actually requires everyone to wear a shirt and pants. But at the last minute, her school sent out an email stating that girls had to wear dresses in order to be admitted to the prom.

Wolf’s mom called the school. “I told them that I had read the dress code that was given to the students and I didn’t think that it precluded her from wearing a suit. I said that this was very unfair, particularly at the last minute. We had gone out and bought a new suit. I think my daughter is beautiful in a suit,” Carolyn Wolf said.

Wolf had been looking forward to this night for so long, she decided to go over anyway but was thrown out.

“I think my experience shouldn’t be any different than anyone else’s because of something I was born with,” she said outside of her prom.

She said a school official took her by the arm and said she was going to call the police, so Wolf left.

A friendly reminder that is it the year 2016.

There are many American readers for whom The Price of Salt would still be a revolutionary, shocking, immoral novel, the kinds of readers who have never, to their knowledge, met a lesbian or bisexual or pansexual woman before and who imagine us all as monstrous caricatures.
