@aisling@critters.gay @alice@lgbtqia.space I was always very very against being taken pictures of even before Trans:tm: and none of the adults ever understood why. “it’s just a photo” they always said I was forced into being taken a picture of me in middle school for the whatever collage thing for graduating students (aka: everyone, because frade 1 to 9 is mandatory education in Taiwan and you legally cannot fail). I loudly protested against having my face in there. My mom complained with me, too. I went to every teacher I know, I went to the very people organising the collage, and they just wouldn’t let me have it. Someone literally said “you don’t have the rights to refuse”. I indeed do not, that doesn’t make you any less evil. I was particularly against it because that’s a public image of me that’s forever archived as long as my country still exists because it’s a public school. Indeed, I was old enough to know that I had no legal rights to refuse because I wasn’t 16 yet.
