Btw if anyone's interested, A Normal Lost Phone is a very nice small game about gender identity and a trans person. I really liked it.

It was originally ment for a diffent purpose but I think it fits here as well so here's probably THE best ad campaign I've ever seen as a Bump.
By the way I know the letter Ü doesn't exist in the englisch language but unless the word Tschüss exists in other languages as well your missing the two dots on the U. It's similiar to the letter eñe (ñ) in Spanish for example in España, señorita or compañero ;)

I'm well aware of the umlaut that's supposed to be there. I don't have it on my keyboard and couldn't be bothered to learn the unicode.
Edit: I forgot adding e was what you're supposed to do in a situation where you don't have access to an umlaut.

Girl, I really doubt you were worthless before... but anyway, kudos to you for having the courage to be who you truly are.

I always thought the bathroom thing was so stupid, creating fear and hysteria about a problem that doesn't exist while hurting people that just want to use the bathroom in peace, and all for a political goal. Because having trans women that look like women using the men's room and trans men that look like men using the women's room is somehow better? But then my college had co-ed bathrooms and it was fine, and no one sexually assaulted anyone else in the bathrooms, so the whole gendered bathrooms thing seems kind of silly to me.
It's like some people just gotta hate, and now that it's socially unacceptable to publicly hate on blacks and Jews and Japanese and gays and lesbians, they've turned to trans folks as the latest target for their bigotry because they're different.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that things are so rough for you, but glad you're able to be your real self to hear that things are improving. I hope society becomes kinder and more tolerant, and focus on our similarities rather than our differences. We'll get there, but it'll be a long struggle. And you're definitely not worthless! No one is worthless.

Today is Trans day of visibility, which I'm not sure how I feel about. It's supposed to be more positive than trans day of remembrance, but the real world ain't always positive. Being trans is the indirect death to a lot of us. But it's also the reason we're alive.
Being my real self has allowed me to engage with the world. I mean, I'm still crushed by my depression, and suffocated by my anxiety, but now I have a job, girlfriend, and friends (well sorta). I'm not worth much, but I am no longer worthless.
Not hiding who I am is amazing, but it's also fucking dangerous. As free as I now am, I'm also limited by how other perceive me. I can no longer use public restrooms, I've been berated and questioned for trying, and others in my area have been assaulted. Some have been killed for being trans in my area.* I've had to become an activist not out of a sense of purpose or cause, but merely out of self preservation.
I can't be apolitical because who I am is for some reason politically charged. We're not policy that's going to change your life. We're just people all around you who want to live a peaceful life.
I assume all y'all have at least here of transgender people through the news the last few years, but I suggest you actually look at what we actually are.
If anyone has better/more links, please pt them in comment.

*Where I live it's only a handful a year instead of a handful a month like in other places. It's still way too much, and I'm not gonna talk about the places that are even worse because I can't relate to them really. Just thought I should say because of last time.
