"Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. 

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. 

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

A father comes into a sons room. The son is reading books under the blanket -

Fathee: OK, BUDDY. TIME TO STOP READING.

Son: WHY?

Father: WE ALL LIKE SPENDING TIME IN A FANTASY WORLD, BUT WE NEED TO SLEEP SO THAT TOMORROW WE CAN GO OUT AND CONFRONT ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT THE REAL WORLD WILL THROW AT US.

Son: TOMORROW SOUNDS A LOT LESS FUN THAN STAYING UP LATE AND READING A BOOK.

In the final frame the father joins his son reading under the blanket, obviously feeling his son has a point ... 98076a9b04b9098b.jpg gean-grey-blog, a social media post

"One time I was leaving a friend's place and an older lady with basically no English came up to me and communicated that she was very cold and needed a ride. She pointed to tell me where to go.

I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried

And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated.

"She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair"

I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of"

Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people." fe4638af3225356b.jpg
