Oh no! It's almost as though that's the point
I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it
Felt I needed to post this here, too. Any help is good help, even sharing it. Sorry this is random.
Thanks Tumblr Dad!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Dealing with homophobia (and other forms of discrimination or hate) takes a lot of strength.
You may think about people who have to go face-to-face with homophobic people, like listening to (or even arguing against) your dad's anti-gay rant at the dinner table - but it's not only situations in which you could point at one person in the room who is clearly being homophobic right now.
It's also walking into a room full of people you never met and instantly feeling like there's a target on your back. It's sitting amongst your friends and wondering if they'd still be there if they knew. It's lying in your bed at night and feeling overwhelmed by the thought that there is just so much hate out there.
It'd be absolutely wrong to say that being gay is nothing but constant sad thoughts about homophobic people - but we do carry the knowledge with us that homophobia exists. Even if it's not aimed at you directly or you are not staring in its face right that moment, it is a burden to carry that with you.
Sometimes we don't think about that burden at all and sometimes it can literally feel like a huge weight is lying on our chest.
If it feels heavy for you right now, it's not a sign that you are weak. You are actually doing a very brave thing! You are carrying something really heavy... and also invisible. Something you maybe can't really share with others or feel like they don't understand. That is a tough thing to deal with and you are dealing with it! Giving yourself permission to actually feel the weight of that burden takes a lot of strength - and you do that. You feel the weight and you are still here. Good job, little fighter.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad

I am aya living in North Gaza with my three children, and we are facing starvation in the northern region. We have moved more than 13 times trying to find a safe place, but there is no safety anywhere.
I am asking for your help to protect my children and get us out of this imminent danger😥.

hi, if you'll do me a little favor and spread my little survey around i'd be grateful. i'm interviewing trans women on how they feel about dressing, as i want my final project at school, a five-look runway collection to be released next year, to be considerate of transfeminine bodies. so i'd appreciate your response! (i can release the responses at the end if y'all are curious.) and if you're not a trans woman, please do reblog this to help it spread round to someone who is. ^_^
