The trans youth athletes in the US fighting for their rights: ‘Playing is an act of resistance’ As the US supreme court weighs bans on trans athletes, five students speak about the joy of sports and toll of exclusion

NEW: Five trans youth athletes speak out about what school sports means to them + the toll of exclusion.

"Sports is my escape" -Lina, 14-yr-old tennis + track athlete. "We’re just kids. We’re just trying to have fun…We’re not trying to be monsters. We’re just trying to find connection + community."

Let me translate this for you:

“I am very rich and want that to make me the exception to the rule. I should be able to buy anything I want, including being recognized as a woman. I do not want to ’lower the bar’ to what defines a woman to be inclusive. I want my money to make me special.”

Oh my god and the real video is in the followup post showing THIS HAPPENING. I am in tears

Ugh death to phanto!! Terrifying little shit!!

It’s easy for me to say I’m upset with myself seeing as I watched Eurovision but I’m still very happy that a certain genocidal nation didn’t win. Don’t interact with this there’s no reason I should be praised for this

I’ve never been happier that a song I didn’t like won #eurovision #freepalestine

Have crazy intense manic energy today, walked for over an hour and ended up in a hipster doughnut shop that I’ve never seen before. Still manic but I got a nice treat and I heard a song I liked. Wish I’d brought a sketchbook or something though
