So, what's this blog even about?
This blog is a safe space for all queer, trans, genderqueer, intersex, questioning, closeted or out people in the uk. To share their worries or vent anonymously, to ask for advice, to celebrate the wins of our community, and to find a community of people similar to them, to feel a little less alone. You don't need to be from the uk to follow or engage with me though. Because I will make plenty of posts abt being queer in general, it's just that this space is primarily for ppl who are queer and in the uk and therefore dealing with the specific issues of being queer in that country with certain laws and cultural norms.
Why'd i make this blog?
I made this blog because irl I'm in a situation where coming out isn't really possible and that prevents me from having a community even though theoretically it'd be easier to have community here than in other places I've had to live in. I also realised plenty of people (such as me) don't have the opportunity to go to queer gatherings in real life. And many do have that opportunity but are too terrified of being openly queer or trans to go out and meet people. Or are too socially anxious to go meet a bunch of whole new people in a whole new place to do so. So that's when i realised there weren't that many dedicated online spaces for this specifically because tiktok is tiktok and instagram and twitter have a pretty right wing user base and reddit has all those bullshit age verification laws for ppl in the uk and i refuse to give my id to them (and that law is specifically used to prevent ppl from accessing online communities considered mature such as places where trans people can talk abt being trans which is most queer spaces online unless it's exclusionary asf and I wouldn't wanna be in a kind of queer community where trans ppl aren't welcome) and the few places left were very america centered and mainly talked abt the issues faced there and treated those issues like a universal thing and like you needed to know alot about the situation there to interact with such communities (and such communities also weren't too friendly towards poc like me) so i made a place like that on tumblr instead.
As a neurodivergent/disabled person, ableism will not be tolerated here and you're all very welcome here! As a person of colour too, this is also a very anti racist and anti colourist space as well and you're all super welcome too. :)
