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.
Every time I hear news of mass shooting, my reaction is the same: Why do innocent lives get taken when I am struggling to truly live?
When you’re struggling with your gender identity (or any other sort of identity, really) it’s very easy to feel alone.
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 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.
As a transman, I feel that Ms. Jenner’s public coming out and the media blitz surrounding it sent the message that being different is absolutely acceptable.
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.
