When Intersectionally Racist Cyberbullying Hits You at Home: Our Podcast Airs TODAY 5PM PT, JOIN US!

I've lost friends and family who couldn't understand intersectional racism including homophobia and transphobia against API BIPOC ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโ๐พ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
That started showing up in their responses to my PRIDE posts
I've dropped those people who claimed they always loved me for me
But turned out they only loved the version of me that was straight and actually extremely unhappy as compared to me now that I can live my life as my real self
๐ฉ๐ปโ๐คAnd be who I am
๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐ฉAnd love whom my heart desires
I started this podcast, The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse as well as Queer Home Meditation to find community amidst the pandemic when I couldn't get out to meet people in person
And just became very active on social media in general
Today is an important day because two of my social media she-roes Madison Butler (she/her) ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฆ and Emily O. Weltman, M. Ed. joined me for a special interview
Where they talk about how
๐they found their voice
๐ฃand kept their voice
๐ฟDespite being trolled daily
Sometimes to the extent of death threats or even visits to one of their homes from hateful counter-activists
They founded Rage2Rainbows to take this hate and build community off of it ๐กโก๏ธ๐ฐ
