#nonbinary

Forty states. That's where we're over ten percent — Georgia, Arizona, Texas, the ground they keep telling their mailing list we abandoned.

Twelve percent of every adult in this country. Pulled from 2.4 million answers to a federal survey, analyzed and published by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation — and then the questions came off roughly 360 federal data collections. They funded the survey. The survey found us. They ate the scorecard.

Fifty-three percent of that number is under thirty-five. It isn't peaking. It's loading.

Fifty-six percent of trans and nonbinary students go to a school with a discriminatory policy written down somewhere in the building.

Ninety-seven percent of them can still name one adult in there who has their back. In this climate. With this many legislatures hunting them. They found somebody anyway.

And the researchers went and measured what that adult is worth. Five supportive teachers or fewer: 3.20 grade average. Eleven or more: 3.42. Isolated from other queer kids: 3.23. Well-connected: 3.42.

That's not a warm feeling. That's a dose-response curve, and it means the thing that saves queer kids is the cheapest line in the entire education budget — one adult, repeatedly, refusing to look away.

Who was that adult for you? I answer every one of these in the comments under the piece.

Hi my name is Zee, I'm in my 30s, my pronouns are They/Them and I'm just your friendly kittyvern which is more or less a Wyvern/Sabertooth hybrid.

I am #Furry and #Queer, girl shape adjacent deal #Trans also nerospicy #AuDHD and a host of other labels in there #Nonbinary #Demi #Pan #T4T #Polyam

I am quite techy I like to think, very much being daily driving #Linux for years now and recently moved over to #Arch and having quite a fine time with it. Also a #Blender novice which I am really hoping to get back into the swing of one day.

Very much into the creative process as something about creating art or things is truly amazing. I feel its one of the coolest things we can do, as well big into the furry arts, still very much appreciate all types of arts.

Can be quite the #Gaymer at times, I tend to play #MMORPG mostly #GW2 #ESO #FFXIV but also more recently more single player rpgs and reasonable range of things. Love #Indiegames honestly there keeping games alive and well for me.

Thats more or less me in a nut shell. I probs could go on but I think I keep it short and sweet this time. If I seem cool feel free to follow me. See you around ​​
