A young lesbian couple, one Black and one white, are hugging each other tightly. The Black woman's head and arm are in the front. She's wearing sunglasses and a rainbow ribbon bracelet and has long, light brown braids. The white woman is wearing a wide-brimmed, light brown hat and blue dress with flowers on it.

Adults overall

Acknowledge us. Some LGBTQA+ adults don't think that trans kids exist, and that's really exhausting.
"There's no need to judge young queer individuals because they didn't have the same experience as you."
"while it is imperative that we have adults to look up to and learn from, young people should not be looked down upon."
"Sometimes they can be too hesitant about things that dont matter as much, like treating you like they are walking on eggshells."
"They have honestly just given me time and space. They did not offer advice or guidance unless I asked for it."
"Relating to my queer struggles, sharing experiences, and giving advice always helps. However, invalidating my experience, generalizing all queer people when giving advice, or assuming I know nothing doesn't help."
"An adult helped me acquire a safe binder. I'm so grateful to her."
"There are a couple of trans-masc adults in my life, and what they do that is very encouraging is understand what the moments of celebration are. One person in my life pointed out my new mustache and gave me a high five. It was cool to have an adult understand me without having to tell them that I was excited to be growing a mustache."
"My mom sometimes gets too excited but honestly I like her being public and casual about my sexuality. like she posted hoco [homecoming] and prom pics on facebook and referred to us as a couple. decreasing stigma and weirdness. especially cause i am feminine presenting and so is my girlfriend."
