Omg, thanks I hate it…is this a thing? I mean I might love it, not sure yet.
Stupidity goes in there too for baiting any and every psycho who can now instantly become an armed psycho.
For example, if someone hits you with their car? It's ok to scratch it.
Are you 12?
Or do you just see every unfortunate occurrence as personal victimization?
Honestly curious and hoping for serious replies:
What do trans people think about the possibility of a child or preteen “getting it wrong”? Ie, maturing into an adult that realizes/decides that they actually want to live out their life as initially assigned at birth?
Note: I know so little that I’m actually not sure if this question itself is massively offensive or not…if so, sincere apologies. Just want to learn more about this and stop imagining things!
I work with a nonprofit that works closely with children in this circumstance, and yes, it does make a huge difference to the individuals involved.
Having it be understood and acknowledged that this is something we are going through, and not who we are gives a healthy framing for families to lift themselves up…and not be “homeless people.”
It’s actually someone experiencing homelessness.
The (good, imho) reason is that “homeless” can quickly become a defining label when used to describe an individual, when what we are after is really just a description of someone’s current circumstance.
So the new wording is simply more accurate.
