"love every trans woman you meet before it's too late" is a tumblr post that is very close to my heart because it was inspired by a friend of mine attempting suicide.
like a lot of people seem to assume it's about the banning and stuff and i mean like it can be. love the trans women in your life before the structures around them isolate them. love them before they feel like they're unloved. yk.
but like.
love every trans woman you meet before it's too late is particularly strong to me because it's literally about a friend of mine i thought it was too late for.
i was too scared of making her uncomfortable to let her know how much i love her and how wonderful it is to know her and how happy i am to have met her. and i thought she was gone.
love every trans woman you meet before it's too late is a reminder to me to always push past that discomfort. to always try to make the trans women in your life feel loved. because we so often feel unlovable.
even if you think your actions speak for themselves, push beyond your fears. tell them directly.
"i love you."
"you're a wonderful force in my life, you make me happy."
"i would miss you when you're gone."
"please come to me with your problems."
"i love you."
let the trans women in your life know exactly how much you care about them. let them know you love them. let them know they're your best friend. let them know you'll always be there for them.
they will doubt they're good enough they'll doubt they're loved they'll doubt everything that gives them value. but take them into your heart and make them feel it.
be their shoulder to cry on.
please don't ever let it be too late.
has anyone done this already
I have a feeling that number will have increased by the time all the asks have been cleared out

skulduggery, having been given glasses of water so many times at sanctuary meetings and not touching them one day gets fed up of people not realising he can't drink so he just necks the entire thing and gets water everywhere then acts as if nothing happened

There's this boy in my class and honestly he comes out with the weirdest thing
In geography we were given a sheet on why people live near volcanoes and one of the reasons was something like 'they have festivals were they sacrifice objects'. Then this kid just put his hand up and said, 'Isn't that where they yeet kids into a volcano' with a dead serious face.
In history today we were doing about rebellions in 1069 and he asked 'if the king killed himself, would it be treason?'
We were stood outside waiting to go get changed for PE and he made a tinfoil crown and started shouting 'MY NAME IS JESUS'
We had to design a poster on nature in science and he just drew Undertale characters
I'm pretty convinced he's not entirely connected to this reality.
