Jazz's family is far from abusive, they're everything you would want a family to be. Saying that supporting a trans child is abuse, is not only nonsense, but it is a slap in the face to victims of actual abuse. It takes away focus and attention from the real problem here and it's harmful to people experiencing abuse and neglect. It really breaks my heart when people bring up families that are everything you would want a family to be in a negative light. The things she said about Jazz's journey is a misrepresentation of her journey. The constant attempts to erase neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals while simultaneously trying to define our experiences is beyond exhausting. As a cis woman, I get really upset when someone misgenders or deadnames a trans person (especially if they're doing it intentionally). Demonizing mental illnesses is stabbing someone and telling them to stop bleeding. When someone feels deeply insulted when they get misgendered, that's gender dysphoria. A surprising fact is that cis individuals can experience gender dysphoria too. The things she said about LGBTQ+ individuals came across as condescending and because of how these comments came across, I feel unsafe coming out. I've come to realize that the reason someone doesn't want to come out is not nor has it ever been about being mean, but rather about protecting their well-being and about their sense of safety. People like her are the reason trans and other LGBTQ+ individuals don't feel safe coming out. I had no intention of breaching anyone's trust, but rather intended to make the board more inclusive.

Answering applicable questions, Jazz asked Ahmir about his mom, about one of my aunts
The questions can be found in the link below.
https://youtu.be/1xV2HLLaqpE?si=yGdv9...

Q: What has she said?
A: She referred to LGBTQ+ identities as perversions. She misgendered Jazz and accused her parents of abusing and manipulating her and doing it for fame and money and had the audacity to tell me that I "don't want parents anything like that." She demanded me to delete a post out of guilt and against my will like I posted a picture of the middle finger. If I saw a picture of someone's middle finger, I would not be thinking, "Oh, this person is trying to tell me about their experiences. Maybe, I could learn something from them," I would be thinking, "This person is flipping me off, I'll show them." She had the audacity to tell me that trans people are "lying to" me. She had the audacity to frame trans identities as "lies". She had the audacity to frame trans identities as mental illnesses while simultaneously demonizing mental illnesses. She had the audacity to say that gender-affirming care harms the very people it claims to help. She had the audacity to use toxic positivity in the hypothetical therapist scenario as a way to look for permission to erase trans individuals. She had the audacity to misrepresent what a gender-affirming therapist would say. She had the audacity to refer to trans identities as an "ideology". She had the audacity to say that trans identities are "illogical". She has the audacity to say that trans identities are "based on stereotypes". She had the audacity to say that the facts about trans identities are "not true." She had the audacity to say that the premise in, "Can we please stop conflating sex and gender?" is "false." She had the audacity to say that sex and gender cannot be conflated and that these terms are synonyms. She had the audacity to say that a person's "actual gender" is really a person's sex assigned at birth.

Q: She just sees Jazz as a guy?
A: Unfortunately, she does.

Q: What does that mean for us?
A: It doesn't change how I see people like Jazz.

Q: What does that mean when you go back home?
A: My parents are unwilling to address the harmful comments she made, but they have no problem confronting me, which not only creates a double standard, but magnifies the toll these harmful comments take on my well-being.

Q: Is there any way we could change her views?
A: I wish. Unfortunately, there isn't a way we could change her views. She sounds like she is unwilling to change her views.

I'm being underpaid. Whenever I try to sell stuff or have a lemonade stand, my family would just foil my plan. I wish I was someone whom selling stuff was meant for them. I'm thinking of maybe selling shirts and dresses. My family is too traditional, I have a personality they can't handle and they claim that "their ideas are better," as if they're God and I'm their little puppet. My mom said that it's not about if they like me when it comes to selling things, but people go around telling others not to buy my things. It's like stabbing me and telling me to stop bleeding. I feel like instead of support, I'm met with control, criticism and sabotage. I'm trying to build something meaningful but instead of encouragement, I'm met with dismissal and control. I'm being treated like a resource instead of a person. My family confronts me over every little thing I do and it makes me feel like I'm just a problem to be corrected for basically existing and that my worth and right to exist as I am are being denied and like I'm going straight to hell if I keep on bringing up LGBTQ+ issues. Instead of support from my family, I'm being silenced for standing up for what's important to me. I would rather go straight to hell than be in a homophobic heaven. Even when I say that I was clearly born in the wrong family, they trap me into the wrong family like family requires blood. My family is outdated and resistant to change and that my life is clearly just a game to them. I feel like every time I try to sell things, people would go around sabotaging my plan.

My mom's sister who is two years younger than my mom would keep trying to get me to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals and most of the other people in that family would just turn a blind eye. It's beyond exhausting. Ever since I noticed her making comments that target LGBTQ+, I've been not wanting to talk to her, let alone be friends with her. Comments like that make me boil with emotion. I told her how some of her comments made me feel, but she didn't take it well. She continued to use transphobic language. I don't want her to be invited to the graduation party next Sunday, but it's not my party. It's for my sister who is a year and a half younger than I am. I certainly don't want to be at the party if my mom's sister who is two years younger than my mom is gonna be here.

I'm desperate for people to join my campaign and I'm really discouraged that nobody has signed up for my campaign yet. I am so self-conscious about my appearance, my hygiene and how I smell. I am also ashamed of my period. For those who don't go to UNC Pembroke, we can do a virtual meeting.

Feeding a cat vs. Feeding a dog
When feeding a cat, lay whatever you want to feed the cat on the ground.
When feeding a dog, have the dog eat eat the food from your hand.

For those who say, "I'm not sexist. Being sexist is wrong and being wrong is for women," and then say that it's a "joke." It's not a joke, it's disrespect disguised as a joke. It's toxic misogyny that says that only women are capable of being wrong. Men are also capable of being wrong. Saying that is like saying, "I'm not homophobic, but gays are disgusting." When men say that they're acting like they're better than women. Misogyny like this makes women have to stick together.

Would you rather be hot or cold?

People who would rather be cold than hot: When it's cold, you can just pile on more clothes, and when it's hot, there's only so much you can take off before you're just miserable.

People who would rather be hot than cold: Being too cold is just miserable so I would rather just sweat.

A potential solution to El Niño is to bring the weather inside especially when it's winter time.

Effects of El Niño are water scarcity and the sun beating down on us. A cause of El Niño is a population increase.

An effect of La Niña is an Ice Age. A cause of La Niña is a population decrease.

During El Niño, turn down the heat. During La Niña, turn up the heat.

During El Niño, we want it to be winter. During La Niña, we want it to be summer. During a stable climate, we want it to be fall.

Being hot is about as bad as being cold.

Elsa's ice power would be a good solution to El Niño.

Elsa is anti-social, a pessimist and a suppressor and Anna is social, an optimist and a venter.

I am highly-opinionated.

What are y'all's experience on April 19, 2022 at around 7 AM, Eastern Time? And September 11, 2001 if you were born yet and old enough to remember it then?
