    I might have been redacted and most likely would have been homeless if I came out as queer when I was a kid because my dad was violently queerphobic.

    I spent so much of my life faking being straight. Anyone who accuses me of faking being queer can go straight to the gulag.

      spent 30 years of my life pretending to be a man, cw: vague mentions of self harm

      hurting myself in myriad of ways both physical and emotional, purposefully not doing things that would benefit me because i hated myself.

      yes, i love to be called "fake" because some fucking piece of dogshit, wonderbread-ass motherfucking liberal cannot imagine anyone to the left of them. oh i wish they would experience even a quarter of the actual reality a queer person faces in this hellworld. when the revolution comes i want to personally push people like this down a mineshaft

        You are so much more valuable than the throwaway words of some chud who doesn't know shit about what it's like to be queer and to face invalidation for their gender identity.

        This armchair expert on Hexbearians and being queer, who has done literally zero research before coming up with their opinions, can have their opinions discarded in the same amount of time that it took them to arrive at their conclusions because no investigation, no right to speak.

        I know it won't take away the impact from you but one thing that I gently remind myself of this question: Whose opinion matters more to me - the person that is important in my life or the person who is of no more importance than a random stranger passing in the street?

        I try to keep in mind that I should weigh people's opinions based on how important they are to me rather than doing the opposite.
