Im genderqueer and grew up in the south. I remember religous family and being so afraid of being who I am. That fear. Shit, I remember thinking it was a kink when I was younger. Took me till I was 27 to realize who I am. I hate maga. But I have empathy for folks in situations where they’re left afraid and get outed. It sucks. I don’t like the media calling him disgusting cause there’s many people who are similar. We can do better than kink shaming or outing folks.
It can be really confusing when you’re figuring out gender shit esp if you’ve repressed hard and it can express different ways. Also even if he’s a bad person. Hes a bad person who happens to crossdress. Idk a lot of the way this is being covered comes across as kink shaming or throwing strays at crossdressers or gender expansive folk. I don’t like that. Kink shaming isn’t cool. Kink and pride have deep ties. Kink community was one of the first that stood for our rights when nobody else would
I see how I used to hide when I was younger in some of his behaviors. It wasent right. But I had to blend. I can only imagine his fear. How awful that shit must feel. Horrible human but being outed is actual hell. I don’t like how they’re covering this outing intimate details. I don’t like how ALOT of the news is doing it from a kink shame angle. I can hate a person, but I’ll shame them on beliefs. Not on being kinky, or gay, or trans, or race. That’s just having general principles.
