Like, you have never had to live with that fear. Stop trying to claim trauma that was never yours to begin with.

On the flip side of this, it’s great unironically when it’s not just used as a comical punchline. It brings attention the fact that I’m not allowed to exist in 72 countries without being a criminal for existing. Let’s /not/ stop talking about this. No one’s trying to claim trauma that isn’t there’s. I’m a criminal in 72 countries for existing.
