We grew up with fewer positive interactions with humans, and more time to focus on everything else in the world.
We have to either make our peace with the rejection of family and tradition, or learn to radically reinterpret them.
We have to fight against consensus reality just to express our identities and live our lives.
Queer people are magic.
It's not that we're born with some secret chosen-one destiny.
It's just that we get plenty of practice at it.
@indi Preach!!
@mawr @indi Realizing my gender identity was a HUGE step forward for me. When I realized I could be whatever I wanted to be. My Hazel helped a lot of course, and suggested I could be anything and she would accept and love me.
Since then, my path has been *very* interesting, and empowering. Not sure how well I would have done otherwise.
@indi yeah… yeah :) 💙
