Final Thoughts:
The backlash I got today didn't help you gain an ally. At all. Your hatred over a very simple comment, and a very common opinion, only proved my point.

If you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you to the point where you tell them to kill themselves, why do you think you're mentally capable to surgically and medically alter your gender before you become an adult?
You seem to think that what you did today is socially acceptable because you have only viewed your world behind the glass of your smartphone.
Many of you do not even know what a world was like before dial up.

You act like I'm a violent force out to ruin your life. You act like my age should be a red mark against me. Can you tone down your hormonal ego long enough to imagine someone doing that same shit to you when you hit that same age?
Anyone who has known me beyond the small frame of my life that is Twitter knows that I support the rights of every fucking body on this planet.
But there has GOT to be a point where the line doesn't get crossed.

You cannot smoke until you're 18/21.
You cannot drink until you're 21.
You cannot drive until you're 14+ depending on the state.
You cannot vote until you're 18.
You cannot have sex with a minor if you're over 18.

So why do you think you know you want to go through with a permanent process before you turn 18?
Why do you think, after everything you did today, you have the insight of someone who has seen so much more shit than you can ever know?

Why would it be so hard for you to see a therapist to talk out your frustrations and wait until you come of age where you can do whatever you legally want to?
No one is saying you can't do it ever. They're asking you to wait.

The truth is that you're a spoiled, privileged child that grew up in a post-9/11 world. The phone you hold in your hands to say those terrible words to me was science fiction until almost 20 years ago.
You don't know what real victimhood is. You're rotten.

Technology is moving at such a rapid pace that everyone wants results immediately. You expect the rest of the world to move as fast pace as you.
Fucking slow down.
Think.
Fucking slow down.

So call me old. Call me hag. Say you want my eggs to dry up. Call me all the horrible fucking things you want me to be. Dehumanize me.
If that means that I'm not like you... I'll be anything.
If that means that I'm not like you... I'll be anything.
To add to this point: The reason why you cannot do these things until you are that age is because of years and years and years of watching people do it wrong.

"Studies show that and this."
Do you realize the things you want to do in your life are slowly only normalizing the last few years?
And that those studies are very early studies on topics that seemed taboo just 20 years ago????

You're afraid of reality. The reality is that big pharma what you to do this so they can test their shit on you. A willing fucking test subject.
Politicians are using your cause to get votes to get power.
Guys, I'm not saying this to ruin your life. I'm trying to save it.

I cannot imagine the things I have lived through when I was your age. You have no idea the person I am or the absolute hell I lived through.
If a depressed person can't buy a gun, why can they change their bodies forever?!

We tell depressed people to seek therapists. Those therapists go through several training exercises to teach you how to mentally stabilize yourself and be a better you.
People with gender dysphoria are depressed. Don't even pretend that's not true.

I have been had daytime hospitalization prescribed to me. I was in it for months.
I saw people who suffered. I saw a real safe space. Not the tainted version people use to avoid being around people that make them uncomfortable.
Call it like it fucking is.

I honestly, truly believe we should be teaching those with GD that they can still love all the things they love, all the people they love, BE THEMSELVES, in the body they were born in.
But I also believe an adult can do whatever they decide.

If adults want to be the test subjects for a better and easier future for other trans, that's fine.
But children... guys... fucking please think about this.

Answer me honestly: Would you celebrate a 14-year-old getting pregnant?
If a 15-year-old got into his dad's liquor cabinet and drank until he got alcohol poisoning, who would you blame?
Because with your logic, the 15-year-old was smart enough to know what he was doing and thus suffered the consequence of his actions.

No, you'd blame the parents for not watching the kids.
You'd give the excuse "he's just a child, he didn't know any better. Where were the parents?"
You fucking hypocrites.

After a few hours of pot and Overwatch, I'm starting to think the world might have actually ended in 2012...
..or at least, the start of the end.
The world became very connected after 2012. And it's turned into shit since then.

People using other people with mental disorders as a shield to push their shitty agenda. Propaganda becoming so much easier to spread. The gullible fucking children reading the internet UNFILTERED.
People started calling people the worst things to dehumanize and invalidate opinions they didn't agree with.
Racist.
Nazi.
Homophobe.
At first, you were actually weeding at the assholes.
But it wasn't enough.

You realize that the phrase "They will eat their own" gets thrown around a lot these days for a reason, right?
I used to be super liberal. I ... publically attacked professional artists that drew women "too sexy."

I hurt people. Because I thought I was a victim.
The fucking 22-year-old sitting in her computer chair, doing jack all while her husband worked and her son grew up.

I was a victim of other things. Physical and emotional abuse until I moved from my parent's home at 18. Bullying/emotional abuse at school.
But I never used that as an excuse to just treat strangers online like absolute shit for no reason other than a difference of opinion.

I am brutally honest. I used to be super sensitive about that to avoid hurting people.
But the hate I got today is part of the reason why I do not give a shit about sugarcoating my words to a person that can't remember watching thousands die while they sat in their school chair

You call people that would be your ally homophobe/transphobic because they say "wait until you're 18" but you never fucking lived in a time where you had to wear a goddamn triangle on your shirt and STILL GET MURDERED ANYWAY!
"Black people are being murdered in the hundreds of thousands by cops!"
NO! They're NOT!
"Gay people are being murdered on the streets!"
IN THE MIDDLE-EAST, YEAH!

Have. Some. Perspective.
Stop thinking that everyone must live like you or live how YOU want them to live in order to have a good life.
You cannot fucking control people. It leads to suffering. Fucking always.

Centrist.
There is no black and white.
There are always two sides to every story.
Think for yourself. Give it time. Do research. Be a true individual. Labels are destroying the individual mind and soul.

I don't give a damn who you are, what you are, or what you believe in. I don't give a shit about your pronouns. I don't give a shit about your labels that you use on yourself and on me.
Your actions as a person show me everything I need to see.
And today, you showed me a lot.
