Going, okay.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, well, like even and my school was meant to be like a lenient school.

Like that's why we chose it.

That's why we went there because I think my parents were probably like, this is where you're going to be least bullied.

Yeah.

You're going to get bullied, but this is probably, you know, might stay alive if you go to this school.

Yeah.

Because I remember my mum said like a while ago,

Maybe last year, I never knew this, but she said, I was always worried about you killing yourself.

And I was like, you're worried about me killing myself?

Because I've never been suicidal in my life.

I've been depressed, but I've never been near death or wanting to kill myself or anything like that.

So I was like, you're worried about me killing myself?

What do you mean, mum?

And then...

She was like, yeah, because you were the trans kid.

Like I was just worried like because that's all you'd hear about in the media.

You'd hear about this trans person killed themselves and like all the statistics obviously of like obviously the suicide rates are so much higher with trans people.

But, yeah, I was like, oh, my gosh, I never knew that she felt like that or had that concern.
