Stories
Are you already familiar with the stories that the students themselves have written on Nyytis website? The stories deal with things and phenomena in the student's life and well-being from a personal point of view.
The following two stories were published during November:
Story: When you have to come out of the closet again and again
”What is less talked about, however, and therefore came as a surprise to me, was how many times you must come out of the closet when the name and gender marked on the papers is wrong. […]
However, I never volunteered for coming out of the closet again and again, explaining myself, and the public sharing of my deadname. This happened against my will – just because I am a transgender student. I just wanted to go to high school in peace. But I couldn’t.”
This is how the pseudonym and transgender activist Oliver Tuhka Sirius describes his struggle and his everyday difficulties as a high school student, whose birth name from the past still haunt him in the official registers. Read the whole story on Nyyti’s website.
Story: Learning to stay true to myself and my identity
”I lived with my mother and siblings in Europe; [my father’s] new girlfriend was in Canada. […]
When he came, I did everything to please him, said yes to everything, was up for anything and I would pretend I like everything just to be loved by him and was secretly hoping he would stay. […]
When he died, I felt that a part of my identity is passing away as well. […]
And it was only then when I came to realize that by saying yes to everything, that I have a character built on pleasing people to be loved. […]
I recently read a quote that says: “You can have anything, but you can’t have everything”. I wish my dad would have read this quote and would have lived accordingly to that and would have taught me that.”
This is how the pseudonym Lolo describes (Lolo’s) father's and Lolo’s relationships and realisations that have come out of it. Read Lolo’s whole story on Nyyti’s website.
