letter to the world
It was a long, humid morning in June; the soil was soaked with the last rain of May's showers, not meaning white showers but clear showers. Finally, it's the end of the school year, after what felt like years of being stuck in turmoil. The seniors have finally made it through the piles of homework, the ongoing projects, and the stuck-up teachers with their bipolar rules and wannabe "real" punishments.

The Trans Experience: Post-Pandemic
First things first, being trans is not part of a trend. There are misconceptions surrounding the surge of people coming out as transgender as though changing is done to be popular, which is the farthest thing from the truth. Individuals choosing to present their true identities to the world aren't done for a chance to be trendy.

Young Love with John and Raphael in You'll be in my Heart
Raphael's Poi nt of View ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn’t know how they found out, but someone did now the whole school knows that I’m trans and everyone hates me for it! I didn’t know what period it was I couldn't pay attention I just felt the judgmental stares of my classmates. I could have looked at the clock and figured it out from that, but I didn’t care I’d just skip the next class or the rest of the day or year it didn’t matter I need to get away. I went to my spot, it was under the staircase on a corner of the school, I couldn’t leave the building. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow students to leave the school without a parent. So, I went under the stairs. I curled up as small as I could, as I tried to keep my crying as quiet as possible.

John and Raphael in I don't Care
Raphael and I were walking down a forest trail. Since Raphael doesn't like to be around people, a secluded trail was a perfect place for us to hang out. I looked at him and the way the sunlight hit his peaceful smiling face, was nothing short of amazing, I was completely in love with him, I have been for a while. I couldn't keep that to myself I had to tell him.

Behavior can affect your state of self-confidence
In life, we will find that many people will have low self-esteem. In the face of low self-esteem, it is most important for us to understand what the source of low self-esteem is. Low self-esteem is often the result of our belief that we are not good enough, that we are really bad compared to others.

When it comes to issues such as sectarianism, bigotry and violence Glasgow of today is not without its issues- but to take into the context of how far the city has come you have to look at how today’s problems pale in significance compared to those faced by our not so distant ancestors.

The Curse & Strength of Being Trans. Top Story - September 2022. Content Warning.
There is nothing that anyone can say that can make it past the armor I have forged over my lifetime. Anything they might use against me has either already been said, has already been an inner demon I have defeated, or is nothing more than hateful bigotry. Regardless, I have thick skin and have been through far more than most transphobic jackasses have in their shitty lives.
