The loss of our recent promise comes hard.
Not a feel good story, so beware. But I think there's a glimmer of hope here in contextualizing despair into survival, as upsetting as that may be.
Many LGBT people can’t bring themselves to face the emotion caused by how widespread it is to be called the Q-slur.
I see it as a slur the same way "Jew" is a slur. It depends entirely on how much stank you put on it.
I'm not a fan of "LGBT" as a means of identity. It feels both too restrictive and not inclusive. Especially because of how much gatekeeping the first two disproportionately do. And how little they care about others. Best example currently going on is the LGB people. I thought I saw something saying the Lesbians were wanting to cut out the others.
I guess this is just a downside to living with internet and access to every culture, but...I don't care. I could easily diminish my self around hurt people, and it is something I do. But I'm not going to let hurt people change who I am. The world shouldn't be built for hurt people. It should be built to help hurt people.
