I hate when people won’t let me say I “grew up ugly” in peace. “You were never ugly” YES I WAS. Leave me alone boys used to ask me out as a joke, girls used to call me cow or big bitch and make fun of my clothes. I might not have been “ugly” but I grew up being taught to think I was.

You know, this is my most popular text post and it bothers me how many people relate to it. We didn’t deserve that. This is me sending you love/good vibes. We’re gonna be alright.

People have said this to me throughout my adulthood and it’s so invalidating. When someone says they “grew up ugly” it’s because they were mistreated as a child (a CHILD!) for not satisfying beauty standards. However they look now, they’re talking about real pain they experienced, and they deserve to be taken at their word.

We didn’t have a word for our, as you guys call, gay/lesbian people. So we coined that word as an umbrella for all our tribes. We never said, “Well, you’re transgender. You’re bisexual. You’re lesbian.” We never knew those terms. Those are all from Western culture, you know, LGBTQ and all that. So on some level, it’s about getting rid of labels. Those terms were forced upon us.

also where is this from? ellen page wyd??

For those wondering the source, this is from Ellen Page’s docu-series with Vice called Gaycation where she and her friend Ian Daniel go around the world to document LGBTQ+ culture and history in different countries. All lot of the series tackles homophobia and transphobia in the US and numerous other countries. It never was officially cancelled but it’s been a year and a half since the 2nd season. 8 episodes + 2 specials
