"trans people are mentally ill" i heard my grandma state as a fact. i was visiting her in florida. i was wearing a genderfluid pride bracelet. never have i felt so unsafe around her.

my mom pulled me aside. "this is just how she is. she's still your family, she cares." i didn't feel cared for.

I'm so tired of being quiet about everything. i'm tired of pretending the world isn't ending, that we're not in a WW3. its hard to look your own blood in the eyes, the same ones that would trade the world for you, and have them state people like you are monsters.

weaponized religion.
something my family is HAPPY about. they're talking about the rise of christian nationalism and saying its a good thing. me and my mom are the only two in our household who have darker skin. the only ones who will be targeted cause of it.

I'm not staying quiet.

i've been seeing horrible things, every day. and i'm not supposed to get angry? i'm not supposed to speak up? i'm not supposed to get involved?
My own skin makes me a target.
My own sexuality makes me a target.
My own neurodivergence makes me a target.

I'm not staying quiet.

The world is corrupt.
