Have a mind of your own.
Be patient—you’re always growing,
even when you can’t tell.
People will run their fingers through you
without asking, get caught in you, be
surprised that you say something.
Shrinking does not mean less.
What you see and what others see
can be very different altogether.
Never take for granted always having
something for your hands to clutch.
Curls are going to fall anyway,
so let yours fall because
you were dancing so hard.

is it just me or does it bother you when people refer to people who identify as transgender as "transgenders"? it comes across as like... micro aggression to me but idk if I should really be thinking thatIt bothers me a lot and it also bothers me when people refer to “transgender” as if it’s some disease. Like “did you catch the gay? Did you catch the transgender? He is a transgender.”
BUT I might be TOTALLY wrong so I don’t say anything about this suspicion and please GATHER me if I am wrong.
