Hi I'm currently writing an essay on hate within the LGBT+ community for my Fashion Degree.
Does anyone have any personal or impersonal stories or opinions they'd be willing to share about hate they've experienced from other members of the community? No names will be given, it's just for me to gain a broader perspective on the community besides my own experiences.

1. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5′9" (something like that.) 2. WHAT COLOR AND STYLE IS YOUR HAIR? It’s a medium brown color, with some little blotches of red that become obvious in the sunlight. I don’t do well dying my own hair…
3. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES? A dull greenish-gray. They seem a lot brighter sometimes; It confuses me.
4. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES OR CONTACTS? I wear glasses. I like them. I think my eyes look too close together without them..
5. DO YOU WEAR BRACES? Yes, but I forget they’re there sometimes. They’re clear, and honestly never bothersome.
6. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FASHION STYLE? I like some grunge stuff, and vintage things. I don’t dress that way, though- I wear simple things. :c
7. WHEN WERE YOU BORN? December 17th, 1996.
8. WHERE ARE YOU FROM/LIVE? I am from my mother; I live on earth. Specifically, the U.S.. More specifically, Georgia.
9. DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? Yeah, a younger brother and an older sister.
10. WHAT KIND OF STUDENT ARE YOU? I half-ass anything I don’t enjoy. So, I do more Japanese and reading than required and get a bit behind on math and history. Oops. I’ll fix it, I swear.. :/
11. DO YOU LIKE SCHOOL? As made obvious from the previous question, only certain subjects. I’ve never liked school, outside of English and learning another language. Japanese, specifically- though Latin was fun while it lasted..
12. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECTS? x) It’d be useless to say again.
13. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS? Way too many shows and movies out there to settle on one. I don’t have any favorites but some characters I can think of atm that I love: Gintoki Sakata from gintama, Simon and Kamina from Gurren Lagaan (I always misspell that, ignore it if I did..), all of the characters in Puella Magi, and hrm.. Speaking of Magi, I really like Alibaba. I thought they developed him well in the series. I should read the manga.
14. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS? I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I enjoy anything on the food network. I love the U.S. Office, and Catfish as well. Parks and Rec, Rick and Morty, The Mighty Boosh and The Inbetweeners are all funny as well, from what I have seen of them.
15. FAVORITE PASTIMES: Silly and deep conversations, visiting new places, Disney trips, rainy walks around the neighborhood, Skype calls, the feeling of melancholy.
16. HAVE ANY REGRETS? Not really. Anything shitty that’s happened to me has been for the best.
17. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET MARRIED? Yeah, of course - but I’d never rush it. They’d have to really earn my trust.
18. DO YOU LIKE SHOPPING? Depends on the day/depends on what im shopping for.
19. DO YOU WANT CHILDREN? Yes. Current limit: two.
20. WHAT COUNTRIES HAVE YOU VISITED? The answer is depressing.
21. WHAT’S THE SCARIEST NIGHTMARE YOU’VE EVER HAD? I’m sure my mind had blocked it out. I can’t remember any specifics, but I’ve had dreams about deaths of loved ones and being alone in some void or whatever.
22. DO YOU HAVE ANY ENEMIES? Nobody specifically. There are some people who piss me off, but I forget about it. My own self could count as an enemy sometimes. Also, anyone who would hurt a child is an enemy of mine.
23. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? Not really. Good things happen, bad things happen.. That’s all I know.
