Embracing Anger
April 7, 2023 · Posted in Personal
I try to stay away from the news as much as possible as I am very quick to anger and I know it’s not going to do me any good. I try my best to just live in my own little queer bubble and enjoy life the best that I can. But it feels increasingly harder these days. I am angry. Very angry. Every day there is a new fight against my community. Lawmakers trying to take away our rights simply because of who we love or what gender we identify with. What is happening in the U.S. is absolutely disgusting and I can see it slowly trickling in here. I already feel unsafe in public a majority of the time, so I’m absolutely terrified of what the future holds. Healthcare is in shambles, inflation is through the roof, children are still being killed in schools, but the biggest priority is apparently banning drag shows. Banning talk of LGBTQIA+ people in schools. Banning trans people from sports and inspecting their genitals. Hell, there’s even people WITHIN my own community that are trying to separate us. What the fuck?
I have a lot to be angry about it, and as I stated earlier, I try to avoid that feeling as much as I can. But maybe I need to start embracing it. Maybe I need to start calling out all the bullshit that I see on a daily basis. Most of the time I just think that it’s not worth it. I’ve spent the majority of my life fighting and it’s exhausting. I’m exhausted. And it shouldn’t be this way. Queer people just want the same rights and freedoms as everybody else. And y’all won’t leave us the fuck alone!

If you don’t believe in pronouns or think that there’s too many, kindly unfriend/unfollow me. What makes you think you are entitled to have an opinion on someone else’s identify?
If you think that queer people are shoving their queerness down your throat, kindly unfriend/unfollow me. In a straight CIS-dominated world, y’all have been doing that to us our entire lives.
If you voted for the PC Party, kindly unfriend/unfollow me. And then go fuck yourself. 🖕🏼
