“One thing that’s come up a lot in our sesions lately is how I struggle with how judgey our queer community can be. I feel like there is this cancer on progressiveness, and I find it unsettling how quickly millennial queers can condemn other queers for not being as progressive as they are. It’s like people get shut down for saying the wrong thing before they have a chance to explain themselves. We didn’t come into this world knowing everything. We were all blank slates and learned as we grew. It’s like we no longer know how to have open dialogue with each other. You either get it or you don’t, and if you don’t you’re condemned and cast out of the community. There are so many double standards within our community. We hate it when conservatives shove their ideals down our throats and yet we do it to each other. Through therapy and lots of practice, I am learning to speak my truth, to articulate myself in ways that will be received constructively. In the way I know how I continue to work on having an open dialogue with both myself and my community everyday” - @lmheinsdale - Issue 6, The Mental Health Edition - Digital & Print copies available, link in bio for purchase. . . . by @esthergoodboy . . . #butch #butchisnotadirtyword #butchdyke #butchdykes #butchlesbian #butchlesbians #dykestowatchoutfor #queer #queercommunity #gender #gendernonconforming #sheher #theythem #gay #gayisokay #gaygaygay #pdx #pdxo #queerportraits (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tLc_MBr9t/?igshid=16grkuk1xhnjg -- source link
