Hey, Amanda, I saw your goodbye post and i really want to say im sorry that all this happened. I'm the same anon who sent holly the two asks to change her Kaitlyn post and when she was dismissive, i got really sad and felt invalidated, but then you replied to the post and it made me feel a lot happier. I was glad that I wasn't the only one who'd been bothered by Holly's post and i was glad that someone was out there that would help me speak out. I just want to thank you for helping me feel (p.1)
safer in the fandom and less alone. I can't thank you enough for being so vocal about the injustice a lot of the lgbt+ fandom was facing. I just... Thank you. Everything got really out of control, but i want to thank all the other people who've also spoken up. (p.2)
oh, woah. hi anon! itās really, really great to hear from you.
you donāt have anything to apologize for! you were brave enough to speak out about it, and thatās something you should be proud of yourself for. itās so difficult to find bravery to talk about these topics. iām proud of you.Ā
you should never, ever feel like you have to apologize for showing courage.
Ā i hope you continue to be courageous. i hope you continue to speak up for yourself. thereās plenty of really wonderful, kind souls in this fandom who will stand right there with you. everyone who spoke up over this are so, so wonderful and i will always think of their strength, kindness, and care.
some advice for the road, from someone who used to ignore these things:
it will never, ever be a quiet fight. you have every right to feel every emotion over it. never take injustice sitting down. light fires. be angry. complacent people will always try and force you to be soft and kind. you donāt ever have to commit to the peaceful narrative if it weakens you.
(and i really wish you the best!!!!! be strong. thank you for your message. i love you so much and i hope you can keep feeling safe. we gotta look out for each other, you know? you donāt have to go through anything alone <3)
