#I didn't even see one lanyard wearing lesbian

[edenorisshitposting]

You guys keep going on "fuck gender roles" rants, but then rush to call any woman who isn't wearing a full face of makeup "masc".

Get you one who can do both 😍

Umm earlier today I was walking through my campus by myself and walked past a big group of *white guys* (you know the kind...) and I had my little rainbow pin (im a lesbian, and /look/ like it too) on my lanyard that I was wearing around my neck like I do every day, and then just as they walk past me, one of them spits on me and the rest of them laugh. I didn't know what to do. Honestly at first I didn't even realize what just happened. Idk. This happened 4 hours ago and I'm still shaking. Help?

Ohmy goodness friend, I am so so sorry that happened to you. That isall sorts of not okay.

Doyou know if your campus has any harassment policies? I would do whatyou can to see what the policies on harassment are and to see if youhave any protections give to you from that. Do what you can to figureout what your school's stances are on harassment. If it does looklike they are in your favor, then I would go to your student lifeoffice and report what happened. I know that this answer is probablycoming later than would help you, and I'm so sorry about the wait!But what happened to you is absolutely not okay.

Dowhat you can to take care of yourself. These people have violatedyour boundaries and that is just not okay. Unfortunately, we're in atime were so many people are harassing and stepping over theboundaries of those that don't look and act like them. If you can,speak out against it. Don't let them scare you into hiding. That'swhat they want to happen. People like them want us to pretend to fitin, they want us to be invisible. But we've been invisible for solong, and that's not something we should ever have to do.

Staystrong, lovely. If you need support, there are several hotlinesyou can use. I highly recommend TheTrevor Project. They are very LGBTQIA+ friendly, and will helpyou with whatever you might be struggling with.
