I'm a gay man in my 60s. When I was a kid there was no LGBT representation in the media. Homophobia was rife. All that 'straight grooming' didn't make me straight, it made me a suicidal teen. You can't turn kids gay or straight or trans or cis. You can only teach them to be happy being who they are.

Today is International Trans Day of Remembrance. This is the toughest time in history to be trans and visible in the world, thanks to certain politicians, billionaires, trash media and Evangelicals. And it’s particularly tough for children and teens. Now, more than ever, we need our allies. Ty ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
