Thursday was not any better.

Ugh. I'm losing my faith in Finnish society more and more.
I ended up reading the comments on one news article concerning Trumps decision to deny trans people from serving in military. There were a few good people, telling that trans folks are equal to all other people.
But
Most of the comments were like this:
''Why deny them completely, they would be good for clearing out landmines''
or
''You could send them to the warzone to use as decoys''
Imean I know they are just comments on the internet, but I don't think they should be allowed anywhere. Nobody says that ''you should send all black people to the warzone as decoys''
Especially after reading yesterdays articles, and these comments today, I just want to live somewhere else.

Wednesday was not a good day to me.

First off, i have lost my faith in humanity again, because of what has happened in Finland. You might not know it, but in Finland, to legally change your sex, you need to be sterilized. That's actually what the law says. You need to be unable to reproduce and you need to have a doctor proving it. I think forced sterilization is against every moral, and is a violation of human rights. Anyways, many countries have been suggesting, that these law should change, and that the transitioning should be based on the patients own will. Well, the Finnish government has today declined all the suggestions. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, with 0 arguments. Nobody said why they declined them, they just did. It makes me sick to think that a person needs to be forceably sterilized in order to be who they actually are. AND THE FINNISH GOVERNMENT SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I am unable to understand. I just hope they will change their opinion on this subject.

English: I couldn't find the article in English, but here are all the suggestions, with a little bit of reading the things will be there though, if you are interested.

Secondly, I've been thinking a lot. Possibly too much. I've been thinking that maybe, when I actually start my hormone replacement treatments, my beard starts growing and I'll actually look like a man, my friends won't see me as the same person anymore, and they'll kinda drift away from me. Imean I probably will change to some extent, but not to a different person. I'm just scared that my friends don't want to hang with me anymore. I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking a lot.

I'm off to bed now though, hopefully you have had a better day.

I'm working to help my old school!

Yesterday, Monday 21.8, i got the chance to send a leaflet about LGBT+ people to my old school. It was my school from 7th to 9th grade, and especially P.E was a pain in my butt.

I got to add my own self-written letter to the leaflet, and i addressed it to my old teachers, especially the P.E teacher. It felt really good to be able to give them something, that might help someone in the future. Someone like me. Now i just have to hope that they read it, and actually think about it.

To my Finnish readers, i'll leave a link to the leaflet. Send one to your own school, to help possible LGTB+ people there, and to help spread knowledge. Ulvilan Yhteiskoulu is receiving one, but if you feel like some other school needs one, here's the link.

Have a good rest of the day, and remember to email me for any questions!

Sunday positive thoughts

Surprisingly i have some positive thoughts!
I posted a picture on Instagram yesterday, even though i am vveeery self-conscious about my appearance. This morning when i woke up and checked my Instagram page, i was greeted with a load of complimentary comments. They basically made my day, even though they probably are mostly mandatory compliments, the things friends do. But as a trans male, being called handsome is the greatest feeling in the world, especially when i get called pretty by my relatives 1000 times more. It means the world to me that there are people who understand and want to support me.

This post is not just about me, i've talked to a lot of trans people, and they all say that compliments are the biggest boost to self confidence one can get.
To all of you there, remember to call your trans friends handsome/beautiful, it means a lot to them!
(*obviously your other friends too, compliment them all!)

Hello there!

I'm a trans ftm from the cold country of Finland. I've decided to share my thoughts and complaints, because going through all this alone as a teenager is difficult. I am here though, you can leave a comment or email me to ask any questions, i will answer all of them as well as i can. Harassment and idiotism will not be tolerated, and you will be blocked :).

As of right now, i started a new school, and my appearance there stresses me a lot. I wish to be called Luca, instead of my birthname, which the teachers and my classmates respect surprisingly well. Public bathrooms are a total nuisance, i avoid them as much as possible. My family isn't too supportive of me coming out My mom yelled at me for a day, because she didn't like the fact that i got a single letter, which wasn't even official, with the name i want to be called. Of course i can't get any official papers with that name yet, since it isn't my official name. I've also asked my parents to stop calling me a lady, daughter, etc. but the results haven't been too great. All of my friends call me Luca, but half of them don't understand that i actually want to be a boy, not a girl. I've been moving forward with my transition though, and i might be able to start hormone treatment in the beginning of next year. And with me, i have a few really good friends, who understand and respect me as i am. I'm also very glad that i don't have P.E on this period. I can one day tell you a story about my 7th-9th grade P.E teacher though!

Remember to leave questions for me if you have any, i will gladly answer!
I'll link my social medias if asked.
