“It feels like a punch. Tears fill my eyes, and I wonder how I could be upset over losing something I never had.”

they don't tell you this about being depressed for your entire childhood but once you get to your early adulthood and start recovering, you discover all of the art you would have as a teenager and its great. but it does mean that you end up with the interests and tastes of a queer, fourteen year old nerd
Intimacy is not just about sex. It's having heart-to-hearts, staying up all night talking, sharing childhood memories, thoughts, fears, dreams & hopes for the future. It's uncontrollable laughter, direct eye contact and feeling each other without touching - it's exchanging energy
But you didn't
Remember the time I shut you down at prom? I thought you'd hate me... But you didn't.
Remember the time I strung you along for a month? I thought you'd loathe me... But you didn't.
Remember the time I called you drunk about how much I missed you? I thought you'd shut me down... But you didn't.
There were plenty of times where you bit your tongue, To spare my feelings when I knew you were hurting too, You did everything you could to keep us together even if it was just as friends.
And I've had so many opportunities to apologise, To make up for everything that I've done, With countless hours of ruminating and faux serenading, But I can't...
Because you fell and you fell, By mountain and clifftop, You reached the end of your rope, And clutched at the coarse not, But I need to untie it.
Heavy is the head
Heavy is the head, That shut you down, Rigid is the bed, Was our playground,
Heavy is the head, That forced your hand, Fading are the memories, And barren is the ground,
Heavy is the head, That toyed with you, Empty is the heart, Now we're finally through.

Trans allyship leaving y’all’s body the moment a trans man has a unique relationship with masculinity/manhood and doesn’t want to look like a cis man
Bit of light in the darkness as online transphobia has been particularly vile.
Majority of UK adults (60%) believe that schools should teach about different gender identities.
The government engineering of the culture war, the sheer amount of articles written against trans people and social media being awash with transphobes juggling multiple accounts - and they are 30% of the population.
It’s still too high a number, but possibly a bit of perspective in what’s been a difficult time for trans people.
Also shows that I was right about this policy being the death throes of a dying government.
The vast majority of the public don’t care about how people identify. It is not even on their radar when families are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table.
Under 8s play online games. Under 11s get sexually harassed. Under 12s are suicidal. Under 13s are sexually assaulted. And children have a right to know what's going to happen to their bodies before it happens, and to know basic facts about the world. That's not even mentioning that they're trying to ban mention of gender identity outright.
