A black street light pole has two stickers. The larger one is purple text on white and reads, "WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE TRANS PRIDE." The other is in blue font on white and says, "RAM RANCH REALLY ROCKS!"

(For how i crafted these quotes, see What i changed in survey-takers' responses and What i didn't change.)

"They listen to me, understand experiences I can't explain because they can relate. They will not question my identity when I say 'I feel like a boy today' they will meet me with comfort and love and assurance."
"They become mentors or friends to me and are always there when I need it."
"I prefer to confide in trans adults because I know they will understand wholeheartedly what I am talking about or struggling with, and are a lot more likely to be able to show empathy and advice that is useful, rather than outside opinions from cisgender adults who cannot imagine or understand the issues I am struggling with mentally or physically."
