I'm still not over being bullied in middle school
So to start off I'm a junior in high school and I'm transgender. When I was in 8th grade, I was bullied for being trans by multiple guys who knew my deadname. I still remember the worst moment being when I was walking to the boys locker room from outside (the gym teachers would only let us in through the locker rooms) and multiple guys started yelling at me and my trans friend next to me to go to the girls locker room, before they closed the door which locked us outside. My biologically male friend let us in, but if he didn't then I don't know if anybody would've.
I still think about that. I feel like that day taught me that there's no place for people like me. The teacher didn't let us into the locker room and nobody stopped us from both immediately leaving class to cry alone. The counselor (who I liked and respected) didn't help me because according to her they never broke the student code of conduct and the school never helped or even responded to my emails. It just kills me to know that the guy that was harrassing me just gets to move on with his life and I can't.
I thought I was over it for a while, until somebody pointed out to me that if I can't talk about something that hap
the direction makes sense but the details are messy Hard to say where this lands long term.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. That’s just how it reads to me. Others will probably see it differently.
Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned Let’s see what happens next.
Without overthinking it, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where it gets complicated We’ll see how people react over time.
From a practical angle, the timing matters more than people admit Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
the wording alone shifts how people read this This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.
Real talk, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like there’s more coming here.
Stepping back, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s what makes this interesting.
From the outside, the timing matters more than people admit That part stands out. That’s just how it reads to me.
I get the idea, this feels rushed rather than thought through That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next.
Just reading this, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what changes the context.
Stepping back, this solves one problem while creating another
this solves one problem while creating another That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From the outside, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which is why this is getting picked apart
Putting bias aside, this feels more about execution than intent which explains why reactions are split That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. That’s just my read on it.
From a neutral view, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. At least from my perspective.
At first glance, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which is why the comments look the way they do

If we’re being honest, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone
Not gonna lie, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where the disagreement starts This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.
If you zoom out, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the key detail here. That’s just how it reads to me.

Trying to be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which turns this into more of a debate That’s the impression it gives me.
Stepping back, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. Time will tell. That’s just my read on it.
At first glance, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s what people are responding to Interested to see the follow-up.

From the outside, the follow-through is what will decide this so the response doesn’t surprise me

Not gonna lie, the main issue seems to be how this is handled
