There are many news sources online, I am sure we are all familiar with the likes of FOX News and CNN. Bigger news publishers like these tend to focus on the biggest headlines, but when it comes to smaller communities that need the spotlight just as much as big ones, what about smaller publishers?
This weekend I met one of my good friends on pedi. Every time I meet someone it's always prefaced by anxiety, worried that things won't happen the way I think they will. But meeting someone like me, someone that society has tried to suppress and rid of a life, always reminds me about the community we're fighting for, and how good that is. Everyone behind a profile picture is a real person with friends and family, struggles and aspirations. It's worth fighting for. I've had the privilege of meeting so many great people, and I know there are more out there. It has made me incredibly happy that I've caused people to meet others, and I will always suggest that people do it. It really changes your life once you know you're not alone.
You are loved by friends, you are loved by family.
You are loved by humans, you are loved by animals.
You are loved by old, you are loved by young.
You were loved yesterday, you are loved today, and you will still be loved tomorrow.
A sentiment I hear often is that many would help in the community, in the flavor of activism, if they “knew how to”. I've heard it from countless people, and I've heard others talk about how they hear the same thing too.
Hi, I'm Ally Kotetsu, a radical queer activist who wants to see the world become a better place for queer people outside of what the mainstream considers “queer”, be it otherkin, pedophiles, whatever—as long as it's not a hate group and causing less inclusivity by existing, then I wanna fight for its rights. My motivation is that I am many of these ostracized identities, and I know that by fighting for the right of bodily autonomy, we can all get what we want.
