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.
He told me he would stay in the relationship,
And the instant I told him, he broke up with me.
It hurts.
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.
