in third grade on the swing with my friend i announced “i figured it out” and my friend said “figured what out” and i said “the meaning of life!” and being third graders this was very exciting so she leaned in and i whispered in her ear “it’s to have fun” and i don’t remember her reaction but i remember how i felt and how i knew so clearly that was the answer. how my small mind was beaming and shimmering with this answer that makes me scoff today but i know that they were right. i was right source

Don't share that image unless it's nested under ample warnings.
Abuse victims can be retraumatized by just seeing it.
This is the first time that we make such a warning because that specific image taps into child abuse trauma. It can and will trigger traumatic response into some victims.
Please note that the current climate has already heightened our collective stress and for trans kids it's even more traumatizing. A lot of those kids may currently live in abusive households, for some of them, this is their only safe space.
So, please nest it and put ample warnings.
Thank you.
