FAQ

"why do you use [butch/dyke/fag/etc] when you are [x identity]??
i use them because that is how i feel most comfortable describing myself. i do not believe in the exclusionist way of parsing queer identities, and historically these terms have not been exclusive to any one queer label. saying so is not accurate, or kind.

"can i ask you [personal question about trauma/ your body, or your disability?"
short answer: no.
long answer: if i feel up to it, and the question seems like it is asked in good faith then maybe. but if you harass me for an answer i will block you

"hey why did you block me/my friend?"
they violated my boundaries, or they simply annoyed me and i dont want to interact with them anymore. this is my personal space on the internet, i will curate it how i wish.

"can you help me with my disability/queer identity?"
I can try, but i am not your dr, therapist, or you, so i can only offer my experience and perhaps some relevant readings
