Trans Hate Affects Cis Women Too. Top Story - August 2024.
I have too many Trans friends to have expected better from the world media, but somehow, I'm still disappointed. Trans people, whether transitioned or not, whether they identify as male or female, attract a lot of undeserved hate.

Letters to Queer Youth Challenge Winners
When I was growing up, I knew that I was different from those around me. I was a “tomboy” who secretly thought I looked so pretty in dresses. I never understood how girls around found guys hot, yet I wanted to be one. Sometimes I’d wear my dad’s button-down shirts, or pack. And sometimes I loved getting my hair done. I strived to find where I fit into, and yet my existence was always fluid. If only I knew that was okay, normal, valid.
