I first joined Twitter so that I could meet likeminded people and appeal to them for calm in the wake of the UK riots. It proved to be an invaluable tool; opening up a world I hoped existed, but didn’t dare ever believe. It was overwhelming and I finally felt comfortable in my own skin. This was a way to meet people with whom I could just be and together, we could change the world.
"I understood suicide was the conclusion to feelings of worthlessness and Anhedonia, that if a person makes that decision then they do not want to exist anymore. If being transgender was a lifestyle choice, tell me who would pick an existence where you are invisible?" I couldn't have put it better.
