Honestly I disrespected myself daily

I disrespected myself by trying to excuse right wing parties. By trying to understand their point of view. By believing if I let them live their lives they’ll do the same for me.

Well the disrespect came in when I finally admitted I was wrong doing all of that. I’m no longer going to be the bigger person. I’m done letting them run things without fighting back. The right wing will destroy our world. Let’s stop that.

I've been there.
Trying to show grace to people that don't even see me as human.

You don't need to seek validation from people that can't see the poison they are💙

@HijabaDabbaDoo it’s so hard because I try not to have any engagement with them but it’s like they seek us out to attack us.

I’m learning my existence doesn’t depend on them. And if it does I won’t be giving it up easily

@BatmanIRL there's no right and wrong here. You can choose when and when not to engage. I'm not gonna say "ignore them" because that's impossible when it's your lived reality. Instead, pick your battles and recognise who actually wants to learn and see you in your entirety as opposed to who's there to undermine and disrespect you

@HijabaDabbaDoo this is the perfect answer. It’s what is needed. Unfortunately some people are stuck in their own head and refuse to believe otherwise
