Do you ever crave to have someone hit you so hard that you bleed? Or is that just me?

Our whole lives have been wasted, just staring across the church. Too scared to come down and be with you. Too scared to tell our own daughter the truth. And it never felt like a sin, that was the thing. You never felt like a sin, and our daughter, she was never a sin.

If any of my posts blow up please let it be this one:

Australia is currently petitioning to make it that all gender confirming surgeries for transgender individuals are covered by Medicare. This is absolutely huge as surgeries are super expensive even with private health insurance.

It doesn't ask for an address or phone number or anything so I think anyone in the world can sign for it? But I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: yeah you gotta be a citizen, so if you're outside the country, if you could reblog this to reach more Australians, this would be amazing!

Here's the petition link:

Please reblog this and spread it as far and wide as you can, this is super important!
