How Do We Imagine a Better World for Transgenderism

To me the best way to imagine a better world for Transgender people is to actually listen to their stories and often how much pain they have gone through. When I was coming out I met to many kids who either have lost college support from parents who are trying to punish them. The parents would either say I am not helping paying for school or I am not going to cosign on the loans you need to go.  Or they would say they are not going to even supply FASFA information which schools demand in order to see your financial aid needs. Seeing this you realize their is not teaching just cruelty brought to innocent kids who had the courage to be themselves. What we need to fight for is for information to be spread out to families and universities so that they see these kids are helpless. So that programs can exist so they can be more able to succeed when they are already a mile behind everyone else. The kids cannot even get private loans because you need a cosigner for that as well and these kids cannot work a full time job because that will not come anywhere close enough to pay the full cost of tuition or the room and board where it easily reaches $20,0000 a year for just in state universities. It is not right these kids suffer just because of who they are. What need to fight against is the ignorance and sadly the vindictive behavior that many parents and family members bring onto their kids who are Transgender. Great leaps have been made but more work needs to be done.
