WHAT IS OUTING?

It is the act of revealing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity without their consent. (Consent is important!)

WHY IS IT DETRIMENTAL?

Outing causes harm to the victim. It invades their privacy and their safety. It can even cost them their life. If you didn't know, there are countries where being part of the LGBTQ community can sentence you to death. It's cruel but we can't just change a country's laws, instead we should find ways and try our best to keep our people safe.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

CONSENT! Ask if it's okay to disclose information about it. If you're not close with each other, it's better to have a tight lip and mind your own business.

RESPECT! If they say they don't want to tell you or they don't want you to tell others, then you respect that and move on with your life. NEVER FORCE SOMEONE OUT! (You'll catch these hands.)

PROTECT! Don't let others trample yours or anyone's privacy. Let's stand up for each other to prevent others from harming our friends from the LGBTQ community.

EDUCATE! Educate, not only others, but also yourself. Research and spread awareness with the knowledge you gain, educate people to help create a better and safer space for the LGBTQ community.

WE WON'T LET OTHERS VIOLATE OUR PRIVACY!

Our privacy is our own. It's our right to be the one to disclose our personal information to others. IT'S OUR OWN DECISION TO MAKE, NOT OTHERS.

If you know someone's sexual orientation/gender identity, what do you do?

"You're too skinny, you should eat more"

"Fat. Eat less"

"You got a big butt for a body like yours"

"Flat-chested lol"

"You got so many acne, you should use this"

"You're too short"

"It's not that hard to lose some weight"

"You look better when you're thick, sorry"

I noticed that magazine covers with women or men who have sexy bodies tells us how to change our physical appearance or how to hide our imperfections in just days. But in reality, they do not know what we are going through. There are also comedy movies or shows on the television that often uses overweight or underweight jokes as the basis of their storyline.

For years, it has been normal for people to criticize or make fun of someone's physical appearance. Now that I am old and know what is right, I am not just speaking for myself, but also to women and men who are experiencing this. There will never be a good excuse to shame.

Growing up having acne is one of the most difficult thing I am suffering. I even encountered being shamed to the public countless times. I always look at the mirror and tell myself "what happened to you?" Even though I still feel so insecure about my face and body, I am slowly trying to get past all the insecurities and not minding what other people is telling me. In short, loving my own self.

If my body bothers you, remember; It doesn't take too much effort to close your eyes and shut your mouth.

Because it only takes one insult to destroy someone's life.

Online shaming

It is the use of social media, blogs and other online communication channels wherein some people tends to attack and humiliate someone and publicly embarrass a target individual intentionally.

Rouse M., Wigmore I. (2017). What Is Internet Shaming (Online Shaming) ? Whatis techtarget.com

For me, social media was made for us to be able to spread positivity all over the internet. It also serves as a path way for an individual to become an inspiration and a role model to someone else, which i think it could really affect one another on how they can express themselves through social media platforms, or even in personal. What I'm trying to imply is that, you’re the one who is responsible for your own words coming out from your mouth, and actions controlled by your mind. Be sensitive enough. Publicly shaming someone through social media is not a way for you to have a better character. It's not fulfilling either. And for your information, you don’t have the right to mock, embarrass and exposed him/her on the internet without the consent of that specific person.

Living with Audacity

3. People will judge you based on who they are, not on who you are: It doesn’t hurt any less. The more you care about them the more their judgment hurts. People will often see only their shortcomings and compare them to your strengths then blame you for who you are. Remember that it’s their problem not yours.

Have you ever experienced being shamed by someone? Mocked by other people through social media platforms? Well, i guess it’s time for you to regain your confidence, start looking forward and stand still. Always be true to who you are and be proud of yourself, no matter how people try to put you down.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

“You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it.” - Demi Lovato

What Does Mental Illness Awareness Mean to you?

It means knowing that mental illness affects not only people, but everyone, from friends and relatives to whole populations, no matter how simple or complex.

Awareness of mental illness involves acceptance and love instead of judgment and embarrassment; it means an end to discrimination and the beginning of hope.

Knowledge of mental health means that mental health is not only accepted as necessary, but we are talking about it, bringing it out there so that people who feel too much can get support they need.

Mental health awareness increases the possibility of early treatment, which can lead to a fast recovery. Knowledge reduces the negative adjectives that have been built to describe our people with a metal disease. By spreading awareness, mental health will now be seen as a disease. These diseases may be treated through medication.

“You are who you are”

-Unique. Yes you’re unique on your own way! all bodies are unique, there are no rights to criticize human being as “ugly” because she doesn’t fulfil your satisfaction.

-Standout. You’re rare and valued! You standout and heads up to all people and show to them that you doesn’t care. The problem is them not yours at all.

-Beautiful. You’re creation from God! He molds you as precious as diamonds. You don’t even need every body’s validation just to accept who you are. Being you is enough.

It’s so alarming that this generation the physical appearance of a person are big deal nowadays.Are you satisfied digging and insulting people on how his or her body type is? specially on girls now are easily body shame by the others. People are making fun and putting some efforts and wasting time to insult others by their body types or physical appearance. Let’s try to normalize and accept the the things just the way you are and not judging people by what you see rather look on the other side of it.Accept your flaws and imperfections, nothings wrong with you being your real self.

“STOP BODY SHAMING, MIND YOU’RE ON BODY!”
