The Tongue is Like a Knife
On October 10, 2012, a fifteen year old girl succumbed to depression after months after being bullied. Amanda Todd attended CABE Secondary school in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and remains one of the most well-known victims of cyberbullying in the twenty first century. Her death sparked controversy for a short time before it was forgotten about like anything else. Some people reckon it's better to ignore than to speak up about injustice.

As An Enby in a Violently Gendered Society:
When I was a kid I was always fascinated by dress-up. It was fun to put on boy's clothing and pretend to be a boy. When I was younger, it was just assumed by everyone I'd grow up to be a "tomboy". I never thought we needed these terms at all. As a kid, one doesn't really understand the ripple effects that gender has on society. I was disadvantaged from birth by being born female in a patriarchy. Gender meant nothing more, when I was a kid, than how you were born. How you were born, that's how you were meant to stay.
