I can't come out to my mom. I can't come out to anyone in my family. I'm just lying to everyone. My friends know the truth about me, but that's it. It's not even that I can't come out to her for religious reasons or anything like that, it's just that every time I try to tell her, she has some kind of excuse to invalidate me. "You're too young, I let you have the internet too early, let me see your phone, let's not categorize this yet." IT PISSES ME OFF. I just want to be me. She says she supports everyone, but when it comes to me, I'm not old enough to know what I want. Plus, I don't even know if it's safe to be trans in the US anymore. I'm sick of hearing every day that another right has been taken away from people like me. I just want to live. Why can't I live as myself? Why do I have to hide? Everything is just so fucked up now and I wish it wasn't. How did we let it get this bad? The world is all gone to shit and my generation is the one left to deal with it? FUCKED UP. FUCKED UP!!
