Which charity did you choose?
I am choosing the Trevor project because I am the first transgender man to get into Mr. WT and would like to work in sending help to people who may be struggling at home or with themselves. Finding yourself is one of the hardest and scariest things that everyone goes through at some point in their life, whether it’s about sexual orientation or gender identity. The Trevor project is a place full of counselors for anyone to talk to at any time. I want to change “being gay” as a joke or an insult. It should be something you are proud of and something you celebrate.
