Just posted in a certain thread and once again reminded myself of this irritating thing someone said that refuses to leave me alone; I can't remember their exact wording, but it was something about women having long hair not for themselves, but to impress men. I've had long hair my whole life, and in that moment I considered cutting it all off purely to "look" more valid in my identity. 

It's stupidly difficult for LGBT folk to prove that they are, in fact, exactly what they identify as without looking a certain way. You don't have to look girly to be gay, and you don't have to be a tomboy to be a lesbian; honestly, if I could just stop outside opinions from having effects on your psyche, I would.

You may have noticed me posting in more LGBT positive threads recently; that is mainly because I really want to express that you can be LGBT and whatever the fuck else you want, so long as it isn't illegal. My main goal on this forum as a whole is to make people feel valid, and to anyone who sees this status update, please know you can DM me whenever you need someone to talk to about these issues. While I may not know exactly what you're going through, I want happiness and acceptance for all, in bodies that make them feel beautiful and valid.

Whatever you need, ever, I am here.

Your local lesbian lover of pastel horses,

Scone x
