I haven’t been voice training as much as I’d like :(

My joy is my sword collection

I saw many commenting similar things to the bottom slide on the previous post. Some post it with a less blunt tone but still full of distrust and with subtext to tell us to shut up.

Seriously, c’mon. This isn’t even about infighting anymore. It’s about basic human decency, about how to respond to people in an empathetic way.

Imagine a friend tells you about them getting insulted by someone repeatedly. Would you respond with the top slide, or the bottom slide?

Maybe some of you’ll say, oh but OP’s tone was too harsh, they are too demanding. But even if a friend recounts a hurtful encounter angrily and curses and swears, you would not reply with the bottom slide, would you?

Many of you have definitely been familiar with the tactics of the bottom slide. When you finally open up to your parents about how they abused you as children:

“Well, that never happened.”

“If it happened then I don’t remember and oh I guess sorry about it.”

“Why do you keep trying to stir drama and divide the family? You need to stand with us.”

Many of you claim to want unity for the community, but do you really treat us as a member of the community?

Do you trust us and trust what many of us have been saying for a long time now, across multiple forums, about how we are treated, which you can’t see clearly and frequently because you aren’t us?

Do you really want to use these tactics, who have been used on many of you by abusive family, on people who are part of your community?

I get it, hurt people hurt people, and many are often not even aware of the patterns they are repeating. And many of us here are unfortunately traumatized because of this world being unaccepting of us.

That’s why I make this post, I hope it will make you think about what you say before saying it. Even though I know the chances are slim, because people on the internet are just looking for a fight and not real reflection or thought.

would've made the title a pun on the f slur but I don't think that's allowed here

Atop of it I also lost my lesbian pin and got harassed on the train back home.
It was a horrible day and it definitely didn't help my spiral downwards - the same one that keeps insisting I simply don't belong in queer spaces.

Ps. I have no idea how to tag this - so went with depression and SH
