I wouldn't wish my illness on anyone. Being chronically ill as a teenager, to put it simply, really sucks. I wouldn't wish the pain and struggle on anyone.

But sometimes I wish people knew what it was like, if just for one day people could live with my illness and experience a minuscule bit of my daily life.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone but I do wish people would have just a little bit of compassion because trust me you have no idea what it's like.

You can be gay and homophobic.

You can be trans and transphobic.

You can be disabled and ableist.

You can be BIPOC and racist.

You can be female and sexist.

Stop using your queerness, disability, gender, race etc as an excuse for your bigotry and discrimination.

Love is so much more than labels.

At the moment everyone seems to be rushing off to find the right "term" to describe their attraction and while that is completely valid and labels can be important to many people these things change. Sexuality is completely fluid. For instance, it doesn't matter if you are a lesbian that likes someone nonbinary or a straight person who with someone genderqueer.

Don't close yourself off to love because "it doesn't fit a box" or something like "lesbians can't love enbies" because you could miss out on the best thing to ever happen to you.
