The transgender community
Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Can you believe that was me trying to be funny or clever? Well anyways in this part of my blog I am going to be talking about transgender suicide. Yeah I know, I told you it was something heavy. I will be talking about that issue which is a world wide problem it happens all the time (which is very sad and terrible) I mean someone around the world is probably trying to commit suicide right this second. I just want to give a hug to all those sad people you know, make them aware that someone, even a complete stranger cares about them but that is impossible. I am only one fifteen year old girl with very short arms. All I can do right now is talk about it I guess and it's gonna have to be enough for now. Alright so you know my topic but in this post I am going to be specifically be talking about one dead person. The beautiful Leelah Alcorn. When I found out about her I was laying on my bed, not being productive at all. And I was having one of those off days and her story only made me more glum but whatever it is not about me. I went on Twitter and people were retweeting the hashtag "RIP Leelah" or I do not know it was something close to that. So I decided to look into it and there was a picture of her wearing a dress and she looked so happy but then right next to that picture there was one that was supposed to be her suicide note which she had posted to tumblr. It was so raw and sad, I hated reading that but what made things worse is that Google told me that her parents refused to even acknowledge her as a girl, imagine how that would feel, to be neglected because of who you can't help but be in your soul and stuff. The mom didn't even tell people the real reason why she died she was all like "My SON died because he was in a CAR ACCIDENT" I was so pissed at that. Like no girl get it through your head, she wanted you to try and understand. Man, it's so messed up.

Oh hi! You are back, that means you either need to write another comment on someone's blog for your grade or maybe I am doing something right, maybe I did not totally fail those last three hundred ish words, maybe I caught your attention or something. Yay, okay so this time I should try and actually be funny or clever because, the subject / topic of my post is going to be a little heavy on the heart, at least I know that it will for me so that is why I thought I should start by saying one of my all time favourite jokes from my childhood, okay so here it goes do not forget to laugh. Why did the Octopus cross the road? Because he wanted to SEA food. Haha GET IT?! Actually, I might have said that wrong, you see I think I was supposed to mention that there was a sea food restaurant on the other side of that road. Oh well, whatever I do not feel re doing or re writing any of that what so ever, I am too lazy but you get the point of what I was trying to do here right? "You got soften the blow when it come to heavy and deep things" I think that is what people say. That kinda reminds me of a quote from Finn Hudson in the show Glee instead of "The show must go on" he said "The show must go...all over the place..or something" I do not know why I just thought of that really but I really connected with him in the sense that we were both so so awkward with words and people. It really sucks that he died, it was devastating. Speaking of dead people, I will be talking about one in my next post.

Hello, it's me and this, people, is my blog and I am so glad you are taking the time out of your busy busy days to read it. I really hope that my blog and its posts have some sort of impact on you, it does not really have to be some sort of big huge impact on your life but by the end of the semester, I would like to maybe achieve the goal of you or at least someone that is reading this right now, just having and open mind at least in the slightest. Also, maybe the narrow minded people will become a little less narrow minded, I do not know, only you can really let yourself do that. I am just here to give you a little bit of facts and a little bit of information but mostly I am just here to start a dialogue, maybe give you a little bit of a new perspective on the subject and just make you think about it a little and break the stigma when it comes to those beautiful transgender souls. So yeah, in this blog I have chosen to write about the transgender community and he issues that come with it all. For example, I will be talking about the different Internet and celebrity personalities on YouTube and the media in general that I think are a good and a big representation of the huge courage that it takes to be a happy transgender person. Now you must be wondering (or maybe not,) WELL Nicole, why in the world did you choose this topic for your blog project thing, what could you possibly have to say, you don't know how any of that is like it's not like you're transgender, WELL, I know I am not transgender but I will tell you right now, I have read and seen too many transgender abuse and suicide stories, it's just simply ridiculous. I will also tell you that, wether I relate to them or not, it doesn't matter, that's irrelevant because I am just someone who cares passionately about people who deserve way more then what they actually do.
