Sorry i’ve been dead but i’d like to bring smth to peoples attention. Over the past week, I’ve been verbally harassed in public by some 8th graders. I’m a 9th grader myself and it’s sad to see that, even though the media has said they’re “teaching younger kids about LGBTQ+”, younger people are still very homophobic. Now I don’t know what’s caused her to be this way (since I went to school with her and she used to be really nice), I’m not sure if it’s her upbringing or just the effects of general toxic media, but whatever it is needs to stop. I’m no longer able to walk home alone and have no way of sorting this out unless it’s with the police or something. And since what’s happening isn’t on school grounds, the teachers aren’t able to do anything.
This girl has been saying things like “we support LGBTQ+ hahahaaaa” (which doesn’t sound bad, but her tone is UTTERLY disgusting) and she’s has been following me halfway home and shouting things at me. How she found out I’m part of LGBTQ+ is something I’ll never know. I’m starting to think it’s because I cut my hair short. like “masculine” short. But that in NO WAY is a reason to label someone.
And it’s not just her.
Multiple boys I’m in the same grade have been homophobic toward me and my friend, pupils.. etc. They’ve been misgendering 2-3 of my friends and have been making fun of pronouns and neopronouns. One of them actually asked me to ask my transitioning friend to “chAngE bAcK” and “StOp bEinG sTupId.” I’m honestly so disgusted. How does me or my friends being ourselves hurt them in any way??
The next time something like this happens I’m going to be speaking up about it more because I am SICK OF IT. Grow up.
Also to B. , A. and O. etc.. (first letter of their names.) GROW UP FOR F’S SAKE! And fcking remove that s*per stra*ght pfp you bloody transphobic, homophobic idiot <3
