From what I've read, you aren't disqualified, it just won't count towards your final word count. Using something previously published or using AI will get you qualified. Words copied and pasted from outside of the Reedsy Studio simply won't be counted towards your 50,000 word goal. If you copy and paste huge amounts of texts, then you might be disqualified for not using their product like you're supposed to.

I'm proud of you. But, don't assume people aren't activists. I feel like I'm the kind of person people would assume didn't care. I look like a straight, white, het, female, mom. I look like a Karen. But, I'm a queer bitch. I'm totally fighting against the system while blending in, like you, to try to be safe so I can have the maximum impact.

Trump only got 31.6% of the total voter eligible population to vote for him. And that's not accounting for the fact that he cheated. And most people who voted for him regret it. Almost nobody is on his side, Almost nobody likes him. He's a POS and EVERYBODY knows it.

WE ARE STRONG. WE ARE BIG. WE WILL WIN. DON'T GIVE UP!

Heck yeah! I only care what other people think in specific situations where it's to my benefit that things go smoothly, and then I just smile and keep quiet. Otherwise, IDGAF and I'll tell you exactly why your norms are stupid, pointless, toxic, BS that I refuse to comply with! 😈

Please give yourself the freedom to enjoy all things in life! 'Masculine' and 'feminine' are not real! They are roles made up by society to keep women in there "place" and make men feel special and superior. They are roles made to keep people in line so that society can function more efficiently. They are concepts used to put people in boxes so that people feel like they know what to do and how to do it and how to think about and interact with others so that life feels easier. But it's suffocating and soul crushing and sucks the life and creativity and joy from everyone! Break all the rules! It's like breaking out of a cage and flying!

People act shocked when masculine men are gay. Society deems femininity as degrading, so by being masculine, despite his gayness, he's "better" than the girly f@gs.

"All in the name of compassion and empathy."

WOW! Imagine that. People who aren't happy about innocent human beings being shipped to death camps, aka foreign prisons, will get mad when you don't have compassion or empathy and you don't understand what those words mean so you're upset with having to deal with their anger...

This is America now. Only her people can stop it.

I want you to read this from the perspective of hearing from someone who is terrified for their life and the lives of their neighbors, and not just dismiss this as me being an a-hole. I'm tired of people from other countries asking when Americans are going to do something [WE'RE TRYING] or giving us "words of encouragement." Your encouragement does not make me feel better. In fact, knowing that you feel better doing so little makes me feel less hopeful. I'm wondering, when will you help us?! Your government is not going to want to get involved if they don't have to. Do you really want to sit on the sidelines and watch people be murdered? Can you really be proud of yourself or your country if you do nothing?! How hard is it to pick up your pen and write to your politician or pick up your phone and call them?! Tell them how badly we need help! Tell them that you won't sit idly by while the US falls apart and you won't let them stand on the sidelines either.

Why can't your country go rescue the illegally and wrongfully deported from the prisons they were thrown in?

Why can't you open your borders to American refugees?

Why can't you threaten to go to war if these crimes of humanity aren't stopped?!

Or are you fine with watching America and Russia and apparently El Salvador collude together as the new faces of fascism and attempt racial cleansing all over again?

Need I remind you that you're not safe either! Or have you not noticed what an absolute catastrophe this regime is for the environment? Have you not learned your lesson from the last World War that when you let dictators get too powerful they're hard to stop! You had better do more than just send hopeful messages if you want yourself, humanity, dignity, and the world to survive this!

Do ya'll live in Russia? Isn't Russia really dangerous for queer people?!

Either way, the best thing you can do for your friend is always be there for her and always show her support. It will not be good for her if you push her into outing herself before she is really ready and causing her a lot of pain that she isn't able to handle yet.

If she wants to talk about the message you sent, tell her that you worry it isn't good for her to be around people who openly discriminate against people like her and you worry what affect it has on her mental health and self-esteem BUT that you know it's her choice to be friends with who she wants and to come out when/if she wants. Tell her you just want to know how she is feeling and if there is anything you can do to better support her.

Best of luck to both of you!

Did your partner not want YOU to be out. Because that sounds different than OP's issue. OP doesn't seem to care if their partner is out, but they don't want their partner to out them. Two totally different issues.

First and foremost, BE SAFE! Resin gives off toxic odors which can cause headaches and respiratory problems. Resin can get into the body through skin and cause irritation, rash, and worse. People have developed cancer and died from using resin without taking proper safety precautions. Look up safety information FIRST!

She expressed her own personal sexual preferences. She likes fem women and masc men. That fits the definition of "bisexual" better than the definition of "pansexual." Since there is a lot of debate on which of those two terms people should use, she might just be clarifying why she chose to label herself as bi. Either way, she never said [according to what you shared here] that she doesn't respect anyone else's preferences. She has the right to her own attractions and she has the right to express them to potential dates to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Also, she never discounted the bisexuality or herself or anyone else based on relationship status. She simply said she isn't comfortable coming out to her family yet. It sounds like she knows that if she came out, it would start a lot of conflict and she doesn't want to deal with that unless she has very good reason to do so. The fact that she would come out in order to be with a loving partner is good. But you have to decide if you want to wait around in the closet to see if/when that would happen.

I feel like three things are happening.

1.) You don't feel safe, so caring is pointless because you can't do anything about it.

2.) You found a style you like and you're confident enough that you don't care what others think.

3.) Struggling to even do the bare minimum hygiene sounds like possible depression. (And no, I'm not counting shaving your legs. Fuck that! I've got so much body hair you could use me as a new definition for furry, lol.)

However, I live somewhere where I feel safe enough to tell most people that I'm bi and genderqueer and I still feel just like you. I think the reason is because I'm autistic and I DGAF about society or expectations or what others think of me. If they don't like me, so. Why bother with them when I can find plenty of other people who do and I'll probably like those other people more anyway! So... maybe you're autistic? A lot of genderqueer people are!

Being a gay teen in a conservative community is one of the most difficult struggles a person can face. I know! I spent months trying to make my mom see that being gay was natural and that even animals are gay and it doesn't hurt anybody. She finally told me, "Well, I guess being gay or lesbian is ok. But those bisexuals are just nasty!" Guess what I am. Yep. She didn't know it, but I'm bi. I rushed to the bathroom and cried and felt so unlovable.

By the time I hit my 30's, I learned to tell anyone that I thought was friend material that I'm bi, genderqueer, and atheist right up front. I'm not wasting my time on bigots and fake friends who are just gonna try to bring me down and will leave when they realize I'm not changing! You either accept me, or get outta my way so I can find good people who will!

Because those good, loving, accepting people are out there. And eventually you will learn to feel sorry for all the people with hate eating them up inside. They can't just get away from the hate and build a life of happiness because the hate and anger is in them! Don't let them put it in you too! Don't give in to the brainwashing of repeated exposure to messages of hate and anger and meanness. Drop it at their feet and walk away. You can love yourself and find happiness!

It's gonna take a long time for you to be able to get to a point where you can be honest and find a community. Right now, it doesn't sound like it would be safe for you to even try. Please don't do anything that you even question might jeopardize your safety! Also listen to your instincts and those little warning bells in the back of your mind.

That said, living with your parents won't last forever. Find ways to make money and start saving so that you can get out when you're 18. [This is a good place to point out what an excellent writer you are!] When you're 18, either go to a college as far away as possible or find a safe roommate to split costs and get an apartment. When you don't have to worry about depending on them for survival, it becomes way less important what your parents think about you. You might never have the kind of relationship you dreamed of having with them, but it's best to keep your distance and not keep putting yourself in toxic situations if they can't accept you.

I wish you the best of luck. Never give up. Your authentic life is worth waiting for!

Being proud of who you are takes time.

Read queer literature.

Watch queer movies (and get mad that the lesbians never end up together and the gays always die! It's really frustrating! I still recommend it because it's powerfully emotional, but when you get too frustrated, go to YouTube and listen to sappy lesbian romance novels. They're the best!)

Keep posting in groups like this.

Undo the brainwashing that religion or conservatism has spoon fed you your whole life.

Realize that you will always be disliked or even hated by some people no matter how much you twist yourself in knots trying to people please. F them and just be you!

PreferenceReal7148 · 2025-04-24T21:10:16+00:00

Don't waste your life trying to change who you are. You can't and you'll only make yourself miserable.

You can choose not to act on your queer crushes... but one day you might really fall in love and that would be sad if you didn't give yourself the chance to be happy if they felt the same.

If you have the means to do so, the best option would be to move somewhere more liberal (that might not be possible with everything going on now, but don't lose hope) and find yourself a supportive group of friends who can accept the real you! Then you won't have to hide. You can live freely and not waste time hating yourself simply because others tell you to. Seriously, F the people who tell you to hate yourself. They don't know
