I was one of these youths who experienced this heavy weight and I survived.
Iβm still surviving. I am here. I am thriving.
Iβd be lying if I said it didnβt still take a lot of work, every day.. what trans youth and trans folx read and see on the internet matters. The company you keep, matters. Hold people accountable to their words and their hate.
Trans people have always been here.
Trans youth are nearly 8x more likely than their peers to attempt suicide. These kind of numbers are truly heartbreaking.
Influencers have enormous platforms and the choice to use theirs to bully such a vulnerable group with unrelenting cruelty is despicable, cowardly behavior.

The person to win the first ever esports event was in fact a transgender woman. Her name is Rebecca Heineman and she won the Space Invaders tournament held by Atari in 1980.

@GearsofWar has always held a special place in my heart. I started playing this game 13 years ago, and never dreamed of the roads it has lead me to. So incredibly grateful for the opportunities it has given me, and for the people it brought into my life.

Never be afraid to tell someone from production thank you. It means more than you know to us. Weβre out there doing this for you all. It makes my day when someone walks up to me and tells me how much it means to them.
