description of mistreatment and trauma of a trans child

I like to put a lot of effort into my presentation slides but I think this time I've outdone myself. These are so good. Their existence alone tells a story.

The utilitarian layout, the flawed laser print, the additional artifacts from photo-copying, the dust, the scratches, the marker, the tape. It all comes together into something resembling an old file from some dusty archive

And it'll come to live on an old overhead projector.

a portrait-orientation slide (a4 format) showing a childs drawing of a person in a dark dress surrounded by strips of chinese writing. text says: (blacked out name), written by hand: "Jenny" printed: “Hi, I'm Dr. A. And you must be Johnny.” Jenny cried inconsolably and, amid her tears, admonished her parents for their betrayal: “You told! You told!” (red highlight) - five years old - said she was a girl since two years old - resentful about being seen as a boy - self-harmin suicidal - parents generally supportive, but struggling - did not first come out to her parents
