LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

It's gotten to be an alphabet of it's own. I really wish we could just have one term for it, it's getting annoying to me.

I guess, I wonder why we dont have a different title for it...
I don't mind it much, its nice to have a letter for each group!
Personally I like to call it the alphabet mafia

but I too am grateful for this thread which is (mostly) inclusive and uplifting

And educational too. I appreciate everyone on here teaching me.

The point is, we all have individual struggles, especially if it's dependent on race, gender, class, or sexuality, and you can't say your struggle is harder than another or it's easier to be a certain minority because they're different, and you can't really compare the struggles.

Yup. I want to tell people, "How DARE you try on my pain, and if it doesn't hurt you, think it shouldn't hurt me?!"

This is why I like using the term "queer" as a good descriptor because it's so much easier to say "Yeah I'm a queer person"

I still know a couple of friends that aren't really okay with using "Queer" because it was used as a slur when they were growing up, but they're working on getting more comfortable with it since it's being used a lot more today as a helpful descriptor.

Yup, back in my day, Queer wasn't something you called people. Unless you wanted a fight.

I wish I could get Cis folks to understand exactly how difficult it is for me and other trans people, especially right now. But there's only so much they can grasp without having experienced it first hand.

Yes, exactly. And I shouldn't dare try on your struggle and say, "Oh, get over yourself," because I can't truly know what it is.

But I can offer my sympathy and try to understand better.

I mean, honestly I use Queer, especially for myself if someone is being annoying. Obviously not everyone likes that though

We could call ourselves 'The Others' like from Lost

Sorry, had to skim through all that so probably missed a lot. Back later after I hit the farm supply store. My tax refund came in!

I still need to do my taxes

This is going to sound so lame, but my ex hardly talks to me anymore and I feel so sick right now

I don't have a single friend, I don't have family support
I'm just alone
He was my best friend and it feels so cold now

It's not like I'm able to actually date women, it feels impossible so why did I even leave, right now it just feels like I lost a friend
I know that sounds dumb and unhealthy and I rant too much
