Every time I hear some cis person say "it's just sports, that's not a human right," I think about this poast and a little bit of me dies inside.

"I am tired of being discriminated against and having things I love and sometimes need taken from me because of hate and ignorance." 💔
emily_ruby08 Having to tell my teammates on Sunday that I will no longer be able to play football with them from the end of this month because the FA has banned me from the women's game is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It was difficult to find the words and I'm not ashamed to say I couldn't get through what I had to say without crying. My teammates were really shocked and upset but put their feelings aside to support me. I can't thank them enough for all of the love, support and kindness they showed me. I am struggling loads to accept and process that from the end of the month I will no longer be able to play with my team from just because of who I am. I am tired of being discriminated against and having things I love and sometimes need taken from me because of hate and ignorance. At the end of the day I am just a teenage girl trying hard to live my life. I should be worrying about the exams I am about to sit and what fun things I am going to do in the summer holidays. I shouldn't have to fight for every little thing. Right now I feel tired and defeated but I can not stop or give up, I have to keep on fighting so that perhaps one day I will be able to just live my life and that not be such a big deal to some people. #lgbtq #lgbtqteens #trans #transkids #transyouth #transyouthbelong #lettranskidsplay #lettranswomenplay #transkidsdeservetothrive #womensfootball #transwomenbelonginsport #nofootballwithoutthet

30 The Advocate Educator's Handbook Dr. Kristina Olson, an academic researcher with Princetony Trans Youth Project, has uncovered some of the best available ev dence that trans youth absolutely know who they are: It's funny, I always say our main findings from [the TransYouth Project) are things that, if you know trans youth, are basically "duh" findings. But I'll repeat them, because sometimes there are points in which it is useful to have a scientific citation to say something that folks already know. One [finding) is that a youth cohort who identify [as genders other than the ones they were assigned at birth] very, very early in development-almost all by the age of four-the majority of those kids are very consistent in their gender identity. Our latest data are five years out from social transition, and we see that more than 90% identify still as binary trans youth, about 3.5% as non-binary youth (which for some of them felt like a change, or some of them didn't feel like a change [but] is a better label). Only about 2.5% are identifying as cisgender today, which we tend to refer as having "re-transitioned,' without the loaded onus of the word de-transition. And we're still following them; our goal is to follow them for 20 years. So one [finding] is the general consistency of identity, with the recognition that that's obviously not going to be true for everyone. Ultimately, researchers estimate that, out of every 100 young people in the United States, at least one or two are transgender. Specifically, a Williams Institute study found that 1.43% of 13-10 17-year-olds identify as trans, while a study from the CDC found an average of 1.8% of high school students identify as trans.® This means that there are hundreds of thousands of trans youth acros the United States, in every city and state if your school has (see Figure 1.2). five hundred students, i's likely that at least a handful of them are trans. plead the fifth etc

Apologies for post of this degenerate face -
We HAVE to do everything we can to protect the human & civil rights of #TransYouth & Queer Youth. Fascists always pick the most vulnerable, and these are kids FFS. This happening at this level will only embolden bigoted parents at home, bullies at school.
