“When I feel like I don’t belong anywhere, and my head is hanging down. You tell me how precious I am. At those words you say, everything's alright. From nobody to somebody. I become a very special me. No matter how the world brings me down. Even when hurtful words stab me. I smile again because you’re there.” – twice ; feel special ( 2019 )

“It was a feeling where I was like, ‘This is what great music is. It’s sharing your story.’ I can’t care anymore that people are going to twist my words or talk about it. Everybody said every single thing they could say about me. I can’t let that affect me from making the music I want to make, even if it is personal.” (insp)

New post cos the old one ran out of steam

This is my son Oliver, he’s 11 and transgender, a huge fan of The Hunger Games, How to Train Your Dragon, and many YouTubers whose names escape me. He’s also a budding artist

(he’s signed his name as Jesse cos he’s gonna change it next year when he starts high school)

We’ve been fundraising for his transition and it’s been going well! I’ve been able to get him boys clothes, crop tops akin to binders, and to arrange for our first round of appointments at the gender clinic in the city which requires an overnight stay.

Background info is; my dad died in May 2018 and since we had a shared care arrangement, he and Oliver were really close. Oliver’s bio dad has disowned him since finding out he was trans (he was barely involved before).

My mum has made it clear that she doesn’t want Oliver around - she misgenders him then wonders why he’s always angry. My daughter hears what mum says about him and repeats it, which causes fights between them.

He’s started having panic attacks on top of the trauma disorder he already has

On top of his transition expenses I need to have him with me and away from mum as much as possible but I’m a broke disabled student and I don’t get any child support or parents benefits - just student payment.

We’re paid up for his next couple months of transition costs but we’re really needing help for everyday things, especially fuel, as from mums to my bfs is over 100km apart

I need him with me and my bf weekend for a Dr’s appointment for his panic attacks (11th of May) and I’m scared I won’t be able to afford to feed him. I’m trying not to use his transition fund cos then we might end up having to delay appointments and treatments.

I know so many of us are struggling so please don’t take food off your own table but if anyone wants to help me support Oliver’s transition and (try to) improve his mental and emotional health, the PayPal is ace8ball@gmail.com . Reblogs are appreciated too!

The situation with my mother misgendering Oliver (and my daughter copying her) has gotten lots worse!!

We’re meant to be staying with my bf over the weekend but I think we should stay longer and I’ll idk get the school to email me some work for him to do or sthing
😖
I’m about to drop nearly $400 for his yoga for PTSD so 😬😬 I can’t thank everyone enough for your help but please keep this going cos this isn’t gonna be fixed any time soon

Sometimes I get frustrated when I hear lies about who I am. The Internet is meant to keep you “updated” but it just takes old news and freezes it like it’s now. You have watched me in pain and I’ve owned up to it through my music and actions. I grew up with you. I am beyond excited to show you the next chapter, the TRUTH. I’ve been keeping so many secrets… I’m reborn in every moment so who knows what I’ll become.. As long as I’m happy with me.”
