What bothers you and why?

The stereotypical image of bisexual people as confused and hypersexual, impulsive decisions.

The idea that trans people are more narcissistic than the other groups in modern society.

The notion that female alcoholics are not to be taken equally seriously as actually addicted to as male alcoholics. (Pardon my own English)

The morally wrong belief that autistic people are not real humans and that we have no soul inside.

All are bothering me because it’s not true and it’s plain false. It’s also very unfair and hypocritical toward other human beings of many vulnerable groups in society.

So those are four of the topics that bothers me.

Thanks for listening, reading and remember we all truly belong to the Spirit world whether we are straight or queer, white or a person of colour.

What bothers you and why?

Note/warning; possibly triggering or upsetting topics.

I’m a far-Northern European of nationality (Norway) and most of my more recent ancestors were technically ‘white’. Yet I’m of minority background in my country; a mix of different cultures. And in my childhood and youth the large majority of my friends were non-European origins refugees or immigrants to Northern Norway region.

and our history in my close family is affected heavy by xenophobia and sometimes even plain racism. My father was severely beaten with metal chains and other weapons at age 12 years by some horrible racist violent youths who target him because he was different. They report to police, but nothing came of it so the xenophobic youths got away with this terrible crime.

I had a racist teacher in 8th to 10th grade that hated the different ones generally actually, not only student of foreign origins or of far-Northern mix + far-Southern Romani Traveller peoples ethnicity like me. Btw that teacher taught me a lot about human nature and what is not good about our school system, nothing is without a useful lessons in life.

so xenophobia/racism bothers me on a very profound level due to my experience and seeing friends being affected and our family roots in other minority cultures, and true diversity is the key to inclusive environment overall.

thank you all for reading ❤

what bothers me and why;

I’m not comfortable seeing reflection of my own. It just feels completely wrong inside, I don’t think a lot about my appearance when I interact with others. But when I must see my self in a mirror I really feel uneasy and even guilty. Why am I feeling guilty then? Self-hatred isn’t that good for anything. Doesn’t help when I remember my youth difficulties with my identity and the bullying I was experience then. The words used toward pretty girls from Finnmark county online is a perfect example of the xenophobic views in society. They say to them things like ‘you are so pretty.. for being from Finnmark’. I don’t think they realise what they really implicitly saying. We are as group of many different ethnicities here for centuries, thousand years maybe. So it’s clearly ethnicity motivated abuse disguise as rude compliments.

so that’s some things that bothers and upsets me. Mirror Mirror fuck it all

(Btw, we swear more here in my county, at like in the general society)
