12:59 am, 24th February 2017. Otherwise known as the date of my first panic attack since being brought into the Fall Out Boy family. All I was doing was scrolling through Twitter, when it happened... The 'protect trans kids' hashtag started trending. Now me being the curious soul I am, I starting reading through the tag, only to find the news that set my life back to three years before. 'The transgender bathroom law, the law allowing trans students, to use the correct locker rooms and restrooms for their chosen gender has been rolled back.'
The room started spinning as my heart beat got faster, as I struggle to breathe, Pete quickly opens my door, and races over to my, jumping the foot to reach my bed. He pulls me to his chest, his arms wrapped around my shoulders, quickly getting into his regular routine of humming either 20 Dollar Nosebleed or What a Catch, Donnie into my hair as I sob. "Dad," I choke out, "I'm scared..."
"I know, Ashy, but I need you to calm down, ok?" he says, his voice calming me down, as I drop back onto the bed, and I curl up into the sheets. "Ash, I promise, if I have anything to do with this, nothing is going to change for you. You are gonna keep being Ash, you're gonna stay out of that dusty old closet that you've been in for four long years. The giant orange cheeto may be the president, he may take away our rights and our dignity but he will never take our pride, ok? And we will stand together and fight," Pete speaks softly, earning a small smile from me. I curl back up under the black duvet, my blue hair flopping over my eyes, "Dad, stay here tonight, please?" I whisper my request. He smiles softly, and joins me on the king sized bed. (I STG PLZ DONT TAKE THAT THE WRONG WAY)I rest my head against his small-ish frame, even with me still being physically female; I was still 5"7 and Pete's only 5"6,and fall back asleep, without any nightmares or early morning anxiety attacks.
This shit w/ what Trump's doing is fucking ridiculous. I'm not from the U.S, I'm a UK based writer, but I have friends who are in such a state over this roll back. IT IS NOT FAIR! We may sound like children but everything Obama put into place is now falling apart. We don't deserve this, we are all human. And trust me, this community will fight, no matter how scared we are. We. Will. Fight! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Peace out Bitches 🖖🏻
