Goodbye You Matter, Hello World
Blogging has given me a safe space to talk about my mental illnesses, my addiction and my trans identity.
Blogging has given me a safe space to talk about my mental illnesses, my addiction and my trans identity.
Instead of letting each use of my birth name and the wrong pronouns stab me in the heart, I let them remind me of my true identity.
When I first heard about the “Remove the T” petition, I was confused. We are a part of the queer community, too.
Parker explains what you can do and say to help be an ally to the trans community.
I was drinking every chance I could and couldn’t stop at just one beer. I couldn’t just enjoy a drink, I had to get plastered. That's when I realized I had a problem.
Parker explains why the Supreme Court’s ruling serves as a source of hope for those who identify with the queer community.
Parker hid in the closet for several years of his life. Then, he came out as a lesbian. But he soon realized that wasn’t his true identity and had to come out again.
This summer I'll be blogging about my experiences related to being transgender, dealing with depression and anxiety, and anything else life throws my way.
We are psyched to have five new You Matter bloggers who will be sharing their personal stories in effort to let everyone know that they matter.
