Dear MLA,

My name is Finn. I want to tell you about me. When I was 4 almost 5 I Knew I didnt like having long hair or dresses or anything to do things my mom or sister liked. When I was 7 I argued to have clothes From the boys section, I just prefered it and it was what I was comfortable in. My mom let me, even if every one esle wasn’t happy. When I was 8, I wanted to change my name but my school called my mom and outed me. Thankfully my mom was ok and supported me. She was mad school but I didn’t know why then. I wished I got to tellher. Mom was asking me all sorts of questions to learn about me but she kind of knew. I was happy she was there for me but not all parents are. I was already talking with a theapist then mom said it was good to talk to her too and I did. No one made fun of or hurt me when I was little. When I was 12, I was still talking to My doctor and therapist and they knew I was a boy too, they gave me a new therapist We talked for a long time and I was accepted for puberty blockers if I past a blood test and I did. I also found out I’m Intersex at the end. Now I’m 13 and my brother, and sister came out but as ACE / Agender and lesbian and my big brothers are straight and, bi. I am almost 1 year on blockers now and couldn’t/ don’t under stand why people are so mean now. In summer my friend and my cousin and me were chased and almost beat up but my mom and other people came and stopped all the boys. The police came but they still Follow me around yelling. My little sister can’t play outside with mom there or they will come. At school we have a non-binary bathroom but the bullies, who are meaner this year, destroyed the safe one and the mean kids wont let us in the other ones. The school isn’t going to fix it for us. now some of us are late to school or go at lunch to the mall to use the one there. I got in trouble for it but it hurt to hold all day. Kids like me shouldn’t have to live afraid or hurting just being ourselves.

From Finn, just a 13yr old tarns boy trying to live and just be a kid.
