I think another reason I enjoy tumblr so much is that there is some solidarity between some people and encouragement. My parents, my family, and almost everyone I know, do not support what I do. They hate my blog. They hate my beliefs. They hate when I call out racism. They hate that the research I do. They hate every thing about me. Everyone surrounding me is constantly making homophobic and transphobic insults, upholding white supremacy, denying white privilege, and dismissing every thing I think and feel. I feel completely alone. I feel completely hated, in every possible way. Everything I am is everything they hate.
My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.
