Cured HIV, or AIDS.
Who knows!
I sure as he'll don't.
I'm terrified for my future.
I'm teriffied of going out into he world as me.
As a transgender, gay teenager.
Because I don't want to die!
I don't want to be another statistic.
I don't want to be a number.
I am so afraid for the future.
People like me, fight so hard to stop the future from destroying them.
I don't want a future where I won't be able to be me.
I don't want a future where I am ridiculed, tormented.
Like I am now.
My boyfriend broke up with me because I'm transgender.

And the instant I told him, he broke up with me.

It hurts so much.
I'm tired of being me.
I'm tired of hiding who I truly am.
I'm tired!
I think I have some sort of complex.
I'm so sure that I can change the world,
That it effects me mentally and physically.
Transgender people are still people.
Transgender people are 3 times more as likely to be murder.
To be raped.
To be attacked.
Stop this.
Stop this!
I need your help.
Help me save the world.
Help me change everything.
Help me, help the future.
We can do this together.
Stop the statistics.
Stop the attacks.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr
