#yes we should all live without fear however sadly that isnt the current reality

[masculinepeacock]

i keep seeing news about anti-trans and anti-queer bills and while yes, absolutely everyone should be safe to live their life openly and without fear, i feel like this is a good time to offer a reminder that you dont owe people information about yourself, especially strangers. you dont owe them personal information, you dont owe them your True Name, and not coming out isn't deceitful or outright lying, even if you are "safe". you do not owe people information, especially information that they could directly use to harm you. it all feels like something that will never happen to you until it does.
