Hi, I need some advice with helping one of my online friends. He is trans and nobody who knows him irl supports him, they are being bullied in school and at home. I’m doing everything I can to help him feel valid. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

@Emery942392 hey there! the fact you are there for him and you're doing everything to help him is honestly more than enough! 🥰 sometimes there might be unsupportive people around someone, and we sadly cannot do much about it. all we can do is be there for the person, and as it looks like you're already doing that, i think that it's a great thing!

Hello! I'm not very good at giving advice or something but I want to try. So I think you should encourage them to maybe talk to school staff or similar to maybe have a talk with their classmates about trans validation or maybe make them try to get therapy to get some lost confidence so they could stand up for themselves and teach the importance of trans validation to their acquaintances. I jope I maybe helped!

It's hard, I guess. Of course, it is necessary to give support to your family in any situation. if he wanted to change his gender, then this is his choice and he least expects condemnation from his family. I've seen such cool girls on online dating sites. You can visit this page and look at them. They're beautiful. They need to be supported!
