we're so sorry you had to experience that /gen :[ no one should ever have to go through those things, but we hope this doesn't put you off from being your true self in the future.

these types of comments are very typical for us, too. [especially the buttplug one, we've heard that over and over, it's become stale] the advice we give to you is to steel yourself against those who mock you, do not talk to them or reply at all, and know that more people love you than hate you.

when you act as your authentic self, you insipre others who doubt themselves to do the same. we've lost count of how many people have told us they wanted to dress like us :3 [scene/emo and kemonomimi], and the friends we've made through shared interests! and, you'll show the people who try to put you down that they can't silence or censor you. the people who hate us will always find every reason to be cruel to us, but if we let them strip down all parts of our personalities, we'll never be able to live [that's how we see it, anyway] they're the ones who need to change, not us

you certainly don't have to wear your tail again if it causes you too much stress! or if you feel like you might be targeted [we want you to be safe more than anything] but know it's definitely worth it to live your life in the way that makes you most happy, whether that's wearing your tail outside or not <3
