Yeahhh, when we do pronouns and its a bunch of shes/hes and then it gets to me and I utter they/them. Fear of judgement

Are you interested in art at all? I went to an art school and queer neurodivergent people were the norm by FAR, so you might be able to find people like that if you join some sort of art club or take an art class if that seems worthwhile?

I’m very comfortable talking about my identity on campus There are a lot of queer folk on my campus and they all understand me I will say that the non-queer people vastly outnumber the queer ones but I don’t really interact with them lol

I think that you just have to be very adamant about it. Stand up for yourself. Be you don’t give in to their system!

I never had to explain it to my friends. I told them my pronouns and they went with it. I met a very great group of people.

Yeah, as a music major, I tend to go incognito with my identity since there’s pretty much no one else who is queer in nearly all of my ensembles

Huh, yeah I was in band and choir in middle school and high school and I didn’t usually see as many queer people there as I did in my visual art classes. Then again that could be down to the visual arts classmates I had having more time to figure themselves out since I took those classes later on than the music classes, but still
