Why should we be told what we feel is wrong? Who we know we are is wrong? Who has the right to tell us who to be?
I woke up this morning and saw this video on Facebook. It's so heartwarming and I'm so so glad to see that not only have Ryland's parents been overwhelmingly supportive of their son, the online community, not only that of LGBT, have been immensely praising too.
I was a "tomboy" as a kid, as I'm sure many of you were. Played sports, would rather go outside in the woods, on your bike, than sit in and play "families" with your dollies. I'm sure many of you guys played with Barbies, dollies and walked around with your legs pressed together shouting "I'm a girl" (like Ross on FRIENDS). Always told "they'll grow out of it". Some people don't "grow out of it". Some people are trapped inside the wrong bodies.
Allow your voice to be heard.

No one has the right to criticise what you do, who you want to be or who you feel you are. Dress how you want. Wear make up. Dye your hair. Wake up and walk out the door with bed hair. Embrace yourself and allow others to flourish around you.
