Youโve all been bullying me online, picking on me every single day. Youโve been transphobic and homophobic toward me, yet you never hear anything from me in response. I chose peace. I chose to ignore everything, even though I was getting hurt every single day, despite not doing anything to any of you.
You enjoyed doing that because, for so long, I chose not to stand up for myself. But when I finally do, Iโm suddenly the bad person? Itโs 2026, yet so many of you still enjoy bullying someone who is trying to grow, improve, and redeem herself from past mistakes.
Iโm tired of being the bigger person. This year, Iโm focusing on myself and my transitioning era. I promise myself that I will no longer give transphobes the freedom to bully me. One thing I shouldโve done sooner was be meaner to those transphobes. I donโt care anymore. I will stand up for myself this time.
