Having a Trans Mom

I think it is so horrible how trans and the whole gay lesbian bi  community are treated. There is not enough awareness and support and protection from prejudice and hate given to them which means  that so many wonderful people die every year  from suicide  or from some some one killing them. I feel strongly that  governments should be doing more for them than they are doing, I firmly believe that  they should have much more recognition especially trans Moms.
You are probably wondering  why a sixteen year old girl is saying these things. It’s because my Mom is trans.  I see what she has been through.  It upsets me greatly that she has not had all the help she has needed to transition. I realize  how difficult  it is for her to transition but it must be so much more difficult to raise a child on your own as well. If i was going to look up to anyone it would have to be my Mom, she is so brave and she has so much determination.  She never gives up. I admire her greatly for that

I started to think if my Mom found it difficult  then what about the other people like her in the   LGBT community,  how did they cope?  My conclusion  was that they felt the same as my Mom, some of the might even have it worse than her, which makes me think why isn't someone doing anything  to help them or their families.

I guess I am writing this to say, never give up, stay strong and to recognize that these people are truly amazing and brave. More people should recognize that they are remarkable people.  Just because they are slightly different does not mean that they don't have Rights  and feelings and are normal people, more people should see that.

i hope you enjoyed reading my blog !
